As we are hoping to return to Toowoomba in the future with UA Dallas students, we have been discussing possible lessons and activities which could occur during their time in Australia in addition to all that they will experience as part of an educational and cultural exchange. Here are just a few of our ideas:
 |
| There are countless possibilities for studying native Australian birds and plants in the many parks around Toowoomba. Here you see some Kukooburras, a popular native Australian bird. |
 |
| With its rich history, Toowoomba is the perfect place to study traditional Queensland architecture |
 |
| Beautiful Aboriginal art can be found in the art galleries of Toowoomba - we'd love for our students to have a chance to learn about art unique to Australia |
 |
Lamingtons are a popular Australian treat - Our students could learn to make them in Hospitality class
|
 |
| With the great emphasis on sports here, our students could practice the sports they already love such as swimming or, they could learn something new like bowling on the lawn. |
As you can see, there is so much waiting here for our UA Dallas students. In looking ahead, we also took some time to tour the house where our faculty will stay when they come here with our students. It's a cozy and comfortable early 20th century home, just across the street from St. Ursula's. So lovely and convenient! After considering all of the possibilities here for our students and teachers, we are confident that this is going to be a great partnership for all!
