Spending 6 months as a high school exchange students at PBC was an unforgettable experience. I immersed myself in a new culture, made friends and improved my English skills significantly. The school offered a welcoming environment, supportive and lovely teachers and unique subjects like Aquatic Practices. I especially enjoyed participating in school activities and the Dance Excellence program. Living with my host family help ma adapt quickly and feel part of the community. The international team at school was supportive and lovely, amazing people.
Gregorio – Italy Semester 1 2025
My experience at PBC school was amazing. I think it’s the best school I’ve seen in my life. It’s like a dream school.
I enjoyed it a lot and made new friends in class and improved my English.
The best part of the experience was the international trip to Tangalooma. I really enjoyed doing lessons for Food and Nutrition and Aquatic Practices. The teachers were very good.
I think PBC is the best school on the Gold Coast. Thanks so much for everything and a big thank you to Corinne & Marissa. Ciao

Caterina - Italy Semester 1 2025
The 5 months I spent in Australia were a unique and wonderful experience help me grow a lot. I spent most of my time at PBC, which became a bit like my main place. The host family chosen for me by PBC, and the support of the international coordinator were very important and made me feel safe. The school program and subjects are many and offer unforgettable experiences. Here I learned a lot being with other international students and I met people I will not easily forget. I think PBC is the best choice if you want to try new experiences and have a safe and stable place to rely on.
Filippo – Brazil Semester 1 2025
My experience at PBC was amazing. I think one of my best decisions was to choose to study at PBC. I made a lot of new friends that will stay with me for life. Australians, Germans, Italians and other Brazilians. One thing I need to say is that people at PBC treated me well, teachers, staff members and other students. Another aspect needs to be mentioned is the sports at PBC because they are all amazing. I loved to play soccer and to surf. I am very thankful to Marissa and Corinne they were really nice and helpful always trying to help. These months in Australia were probably the best months of my life.
Clara – Brazil Semester 1 2025
Going to PBC helped me grow as a person and showed me a different way of learning since it’s so different to schools in Brazil. I got to meet a lot of nice people and make new friends. The staff gave me support all throughout my journey here, inspiring me to come back later in life. I made connections with other international students as were experiencing the same thing. I learnt about other cultures when meeting people. Overall, my experience at PBC gave me great knowledge and friends.
Greta - Germany Semester 2 2024 – Semester 1 2025
I changed from a different school to PBC to participate in the Drama Excellence Program. Everyone was so nice and helpful, and I quickly felt welcomed at PBC even though I arrived later than the other international students. I made so many fantastic memories at PBC and the Gold Coast and I met some of my best friends here. In hard times I could always go the international coordinators, and they were always trying to help as best as they could. I would always choose to study at PBC again and would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about studying there. To spend their best time of their life at the Gold Coast.

Agustina – Chile Semester 1 2025
My experience at PBC was very good and I enjoyed it a lot. I really liked the location of the school as it is close to the beach and many shops. I also liked the hours we had at school because after school you had the time to do things. I also liked the sport excellence program of Tennis because we had many activities outside of school and it helped me improve a lot in tennis. I stayed for 3 months but would have really liked to stay here longer. Lastly, I really liked the classes options that you could choose, like Food Technology amongst others.
