For our recent Halloween, we held special events at all of our April English branches for the younger students. Staff and teachers spent long hours preparing their schools with special decorations and costumes. On the day, special Halloween-themed lessons and games were enjoyed by the students with candy prizes. Photos from our various branches are below!

This was a very successful event for our schools and teachers.

Come and join us next time!

On October 12th 2008, the 15 CDI and April English branches from Busan and Changwon cities met together at the grounds of Yeonsan Middle School for a company-wide sports day. Events included Foot Baseball, Tug-of-war, Karaoke and Dodgeball. In the end, a lot of laughs were had and many new friendships between the branches were made.
Such events are symbolic of the cohesion and friendliness between the CDI South community and we look forward to the next gathering at the end of the year.

Warm up exercises in the morning.

The dodgeball matches were hotly contended.

For lunch, the company spent US$1500 on food, including two roast pigs, as well as $500 on beer! It’s just our way of saying “Thank you for all your hard work!”

The object of this game was to hold the material so that someone could race across it

Jef Robison and Amanda Johnson lighten the mood with some stand-up comedy.

It was an enjoyable day for all. Come and join us next time!
