It’s a really nice place to learn English cuz there is a lot of foreign people (Maybe 70% Japanese, and I’m Taiwanese )
Cairns is a country side, so it made me more focus on learning English
Also, speaking mother language is strongly forbidden in schools, so every time in school we just talked in English
It made me speak English more daringly.
And we all lived in dormitory ,so it’s a good way to make friends and chat w them.
However, there was something upset me that the food in school was not very delicious:) just breakfast is good I think
Anyway, I like Cairns SPC, I made heaps of wonderful memories here!!

There’s A BACKPACKER TEACHER from Poland here; she and other staff working in this school left 5-star reviews to promote this school CHEATINGLY.
—
If this is a good school, they don’t need to use this kind of CHEATINGLY way to promote their school, not to mention she ALWAYS finishes her classes around 10 minutes before the courses should be completed and constantly switches between teaching and marking students’ homework during class.
I suggest that people attend English language schools in the Philippines if they are keen on learning English; the teachers there are much more professional.
There are many other options. Do more surveys and stay away from the people and environments that are cheating, unprofessional, and toxic environment, like this school.
The only thing to highlight is that the teachers are generally good, but it should be noted that some are not experts in the field of teaching. The food is terrible; it’s only acceptable at night because that’s when people from the surrounding area come and pay for it. Don’t be fooled by other comments, some are from neighbors rating the place as a family entertainment space. The cleanliness leaves much to be desired, as it’s only done once a week. If you are a digital nomad looking to work remotely and improve your English, this place is not ideal. They won’t respect your space (unless you’re locked in your room), there’s no place to work at night (they lock all the classrooms), and they are extremely rude if they hear you speak your native language (even if you’re in a meeting with people who don’t speak English). Since there was no workspace and I didn’t want to bother others in the shared bedroom (with five others), I went to the restaurant (they tell you to go to the treehouse if you speak another language, but there’s no internet there and no light either). A staff member came and yelled at me during a meeting, and the next day I was no longer allowed to use the space. I give it 1 star instead of 0, not to belittle the teachers. Lastly, I’d like to add that transportation is costly because the owner does’t pay the acknowledge his customers as students. Therefore, even though you are in a ‘school,’ you are not entitled to student discounts, and you could end up with a fine if you are unaware of this. I also left the dormitories early due to the lack of workspaces and the cleanliness, and then they tried to charge me as if I had stayed two more weeks. As usual, they were not friendly when addressing the issue. In the end, I didn’t have to pay, but only because I had to provide evidence that I was no longer living there.
It could be better or it can be worst! everything depends on your perception.
Being a student from SPC Cairns I have to write this review in order to let other people know about what to expect before go to Australia.
This school is one hour by bus from city and near here, there is only a pharmacy, minimarket, liquor shop and two small restaurants. The bus stop is in front of the school so you dont have to walk to take the bus, but the daily bus fee is almost $10 per day. (take this into account if you need a job).
From my experience the classes are very good, the English teachers are excellent and dynamic. The classroom size is enough for 12 students, but sometimes there are more than 15 which makes the classroom narrow and unconfortable. There are some technological devices that have to be replaced in order to be better.
If you are keen on clealiness this accomodation, should not be your choice. You will share a room with 3 people or more. In the pink building, you will have only 5 showers, 6 toilets and 4 sinks for 40 people and the cleaning has to be improved at least once a day everyday including weekends, because on weekends the showers, sinks and toilets are too dirty. For me the cleanliness is important it is a danger to our.
In my opinion, if you like to have a healthy life style, definitely you should not eat the food from this place. Everyday the breakfast is the same and sometimes there is no more food so you can not eat or you have to eat only the left over food. At lunch time there is a long queue in which you spend 10 minutes or more and you will always have rice and pasta, sometimes they provide some protein, but after two weeks living there, you will know all the menu. The dinner is a little bit better on weekdays, because they sell to local people, but still pasta and rice are on the menu. This means that you will eat pasta and rice twice a day and you do not have to many options of salad; at lunch just canned vegetables and at dinner lettuce and other vegetables.
Despide this, the classes and the environment among the students are good, so if you are rich and you do not have to work to survive in Cairns, and you do not want to stay in this accomodation, you can pay for a share house which the cheaper price in this location it could be $200 per week and attending the classes in this college.
If you pay the accomodation with them and you want to change the dormitory to homestay or cancel the accomodation take into account this school will take 20% of your payment. Be careful with the enrolment because I paid two different courses and they do not opened one course that I paid, so at the end I studied for a different certification.
I would not recomment this place even though the classes are good, because the accomodation is not good and the location is far from the city.
