The Good Hope Studies Social Club organises a number of activities per week. You find the schedule below and you can book your favourite activities online.
The activities are a great way to visit all the must-see places in Cape Town and surroundings. Our social club is also a great place to get to know your fellow students socially. Most importantly, however, it is a great opportunity to practice your newly-acquired language skills.
