Narrative:
On this flight I was student pilot; with one student on the back seat and the flight instructor on the right seat. After a normal approach followed by a normal touch and go; we extended our upwind for a 3000 ft MSL glide approach. I called on the radio frequency 'airport traffic; bonanza; extending upwind for a 3000 foot MSL glide approach for runway 17; airport' after the call the cessna said that it is right over the field at 3000 ft for a midfield crossing and a 45 degree entry to right traffic for runway 17. In the turn to crosswind we got the aircraft in sight and the ip told them so and that we are on a crosswind for the glide approach. After the turn on downwind the traffic was at our 12 o'clock position but far away. The ip called the aircraft on the radio said that we have them in sight and that we are on a high downwind for a glide approach for runway 17. After that everything continued as normal. I called turning on right high base for a glide approach runway 17. The traffic called that it was on right downwind for runway 17. Next I started the turn onto final and said on the radio that we are turning to final for a glide approach runway 17. After I was established on final I was working to hold the correct glide path and was very focused on the glide to the runway. Then the tcad warning sounded 'traffic; 3 o'clock less than 1 mile; same altitude'.after the words 'traffic 3 o'clock' from the tcad I turned my head to the right and got the traffic in sight heading right to us and very close to us. At this point the ip had already started counter action and I saw him adding full throttle and pulling the airplane into a left turning climb out of the way of the aircraft making a go around. After that we flew on runway heading and intercepted the upwind and reset everything. The cessna continued its approach to a full stop landing.
