Library Visit! By Julia’s CAE Class

IMG_20150925_095407 (3)Last week, Julia’s CAE class visited Byron Bay Library. The students wrote some descriptions of their visit…

After fighting against the rain, our eyes look up to the library’s building, an appealing place, zen and spacious.

Then we met the very kind librarian who showed us the different sections of the library.

She explained to us how to join the library and how to use the different facilities.

There’s a huge range of different books on every topic you can imagine, movies, CDs and DVDs. They also provide free wi-fi for everyone and a public toilet, which is quite rare in Byron Bay!

I am surprised by the size of the library for such a little town. However, looking at the amount of people that are here now it could be even bigger.

Sounds like a great trip! It’s always fun to explore new places in Byron Bay!

Surfing with Style Surf!

Byron Bay is a fantastic place to learn to surf, and many Lexis students have taken surf lessons with Gaz at Style Surf this month. Here are some recent photographs!

IELTS Class Visit Byron Bay Farmers Market!

Yesterday, the IELTS class went to Byron Bay Farmers market in order to prepare for an essay about the benefits of buying locally.IMG_5220Pedro took the opportunity for shopping while the others wanted to taste new food and drinks.

IMG_5236Sofie, as a good friend, also bought tomatoes for Luciana as she knew she doesn’t like those from the supermarket, and she tried cane juice with Pol. Pol really like it whereas Sofie wasn’t convinced. IMG_5238Aurora bought rainbow fruit and everyone liked it. IMG_5248 Finally, Tomaso sampled pumpkin chili jam and said it had a delicious flavor, sweet and spicy.

Happy Student – Urs!

This week, meet our student Urs from Switzerland!

urs

Urs has already been here for almost 2 weeks, and will stay for 1 month in total. He is a happy and friendly guy and it is always nice to see him around school. I asked him some questions about his experiences in Byron so far…

Why did you come to Australia?

It was a choice between the USA and Australia. I wanted to go somewhere sunny with surf and I had already spent 5 months in California, so I chose Australia.

What is the best thing about Byron Bay?

The beaches are really cool. The lighthouse run. Also the lifestyle – people are healthy and like to be outside and eat local produce. The size of Byron Bay is good for a 1 month stay – it is small enough to see everything.

Is your English improving?

I think so! I am definitely getting better at understanding the Australian accent.

What would you say to someone who is considering studying at Lexis Byron Bay?

Of course he/she should do it! If you like small cities and beaches it’s one of the best choices you can make.

What are your plans after you finish studying at Lexis?

I have already been to Hong Kong and after Byron Bay I plan to travel south to Sydney and Melbourne. Then I will go to Bali, before I fly home to start my new job in December.

Thanks for sharing your experiences Urs, enjoy the rest of your time here 🙂

Boomerang Painting!

Boomerang Painting was our activity this afternoon! It was very popular, with 15 students spending the hour creating detailed and colourful patterns on their wooden boomerangs, inspired by traditional Aboriginal designs.

Whale Watching in Byron Bay!

Have you seen the whales yet?

Byron Bay is one of the best places in Australia to see Humpback Whales as they migrate from cold Antarctica to the warmer waters of Queensland, and back again. This migration happens each year between April and December.

whales

The main reasons for the migration are food and breeding – the Humpback Whales spend their summer feeding in Antarctica, but move to warmer tropical waters in the winter to breed. They return to Antarctica in spring.

The population that migrates up the east coast of Australia is estimated to be up to 17 000 individuals.

Humpback whales migrate around 5000km on average, one of the longest migratory journeys of any mammal on Earth.

Top Tips for Whale Watching in Byron Bay

  1. Walk to Byron Bay Lighthouse – this is the best place in Byron to look out to sea and spot the whales. You’ll get the best view if you take some binoculars.
  2. Keep your eyes open at the beach – you might see the splash of a whale out in the water!
  3. Take a kayaking trip (ask Luiz at BWT!) to get really close to the whales.
  4. Go on a whale watching tour (Whale Watching Byron Bay run trips every day)
  5. Spot whales from above with a gyrocopter tour – it’s a unique perspective and an unforgettable experience!

For more information visit www.wildaboutwhales.com.au

Happy whale watching!

Job Club!

This afternoon our activity was Job Club! We spent the hour talking about how to prepare for finding a job and how to make the perfect resume. Then the students spent some time working on their resumes.

If you are looking for a job in Byron, don’t forget to check the Jobs Blog every Wednesday, come to Job Club, and ask Laura or your teacher for some tips or advice!

Skateboards and Fun in the Sun :)

It was a gorgeous afternoon in Byron Bay with blue skies and temperatures of around 24 degrees – a perfect day for a bit of skating.  Our pro instructor, Flavio Biehl, set up slalom and a ramp and our brave Lexis students, some beginners some experienced, had fun doing tricks or just trying to stay upright.FullSizeRender IMG_1922 IMG_1923 IMG_1925 IMG_1926

New Starters! 21/09/15

IMG_20150921_112406759

We had 8 new students starting at Lexis Byron Bay today – Dennis, Pedro, Tomaso, Robin, Julia, Sidney, Olivia and Asa.

Dennis Gehrig is from Switzerland and likes to play video games in his free time. He also likes sports like jogging or skateboarding. In Switzerland, he is doing an apprenticeship in Software Developing. He chose to come to Byron Bay to join the surfing program here at Lexis.

Pedro Navarro Santoro is from Spain and he enjoys surfing, which is one of the reasons he chose to come to Byron Bay. He used to work as a Physical Education teacher, but he didn’t like it as he found the education system quite stressful.

Tomaso Mager is from Italy, where he is a student. Back in Italy he was studying an unusual combination of Engineering with an Economics slant.

Robin Frehner is from Switzerland. He really likes sports and has played a lot of football in the past. He also likes computers and in Switzerland, he is doing an apprenticeship as a software developer (with Dennis). Next, he would like to study Computer Science at university.

Julia Vogt is from Switzerland and enjoys outdoor activities and volleyball. At home she works in a marketing department, where she leads a small team. A friend recommended that she should come to Australia, and now she is happy to be here!

Sidney Dupont is from Belgium and at home she has a handsome cat. She enjoys sports in her free time, particularly indoor climbing. Sidney chose to live in Byron Bay because she does not like big cities.

Olivia Klein is from Switzerland and has come to Australia to improve her English for the future. After this trip she will work in an office for half a year, and one day she would like to teach children in a primary school.

Asa Hojvall is from Sweden, where she works at an elementary school with children with disabilities. She has come to Australia to study because it’s an English speaking country with sunny beaches!

Welcome, everyone! We hope you enjoy your time here at Lexis Byron Bay!

Trivia Quiz!

We decided to do a Trivia Quiz today for our Friday afternoon activity (don’t worry everyone, we will do sandcastle building on the beach soon!)

8 students took part in the quiz, testing their general knowledge skills to try and win the beer prize. We had questions about Science, Geography, Sport and Music.

IMG_20150918_150246677

In the end, DK and Luiz won the quiz with an impressive score of 36 out of 40. Well done guys!

Graduation! 18th September 2015

Two students graduated from Lexis Byron Bay today – Mayu and Mayumi.

Mayu Moriguchi from Japan has been here at Lexis for 6 weeks in the Intermediate class. Her teacher Claudia said she is intelligent and hard working. She also had outstanding results in her recent test. Mayu said that everyone at Lexis Byron Bay is very kind, and she said “thank you very much” to everyone here!

Mayumi Yakiyama, also from Japan, has been studying at Lexis for 12 weeks. Her teacher Kathleen said Mayumi is one of the loveliest students she has ever had. Mayumi is excellent at explaining things to other students. She also has an impressive 98% attendance record during her time here! Mayumi said she had a great time here at Lexis Byron Bay. She said “Thank you everyone and thank you for the awesome teachers.”

How to Build the Perfect Sandcastle

547edea5e2c2b_-_sandcastle-building-tips-xlg

  1. Choose a spot reasonably close to the shoreline on flat wettish sand.
  1. Dig a hole. Keep digging until you hit water. Now you can use the sand from the bottom of the hole to make your sculpture.
  1. Start with a densely packed mound of wet sand. To get the best density, build up the mound gradually: Add 12cm of sand, pack down firmly with your fists, then pour half a bucket of water on top. (You can never add too much water; any excess will just drain out.) Repeat until you’ve reached your desired height.
  1. Carve and smooth. Work from top to bottom. You’ll lessen the chance that falling sand or an ill-placed knee will ruin your work. As you create finer details like windows and stairs, blow away excess sand using a straw.
  1. Remember to moisten as necessary. The longer you work on your composition, the more your sand sculpture will dry out – you must keep it moist.

Below are two entries from previous competitions 🙂

Lexis has a new Table Tennis Champion

IMG_0849

Tom and Danny battle it out in the final

Yesterday afternoon 16 students gathered in the garden to battle it out for the coveted title of reigning Lexis Ping Pong Champion.

Aurelie, Bryan, Quentin, Lucas, Tom, Danny, Till, Urs, Simon, Elia, Lulu, Junya, Renato, Chris and Danilo all signed to up try and steal the title away from reigning champion Hung.

The crowd was shocked when Hung was beaten in the first round by Tom. However, Tom eventually went on to beat Till, Lucas and Danny to become the new champion. Well done Tom.

This afternoon our activity was poker! Tommy and Miguel made sure everyone understood the rules, but they went “all in” early on and were quickly out of the game. The remaining players continued… we played several rounds and in the end Chloe won the game and the beer prize! Well done Chloe!

Backpacker World Travel Party Night!

On Tuesday night, BWT (Backpacker World Travel) hosted a student party night at Cheeky Monkeys. Thanks to Luiz at BWT, Lexis students had some discounts and free drinks. It was a great night, with lots of smiles, chatting and dancing. Many of the students also enjoyed a game of Pool. It was fantastic to see everyone having fun and getting to know each other better. See you next week for another party night!

Meet the FCE2 Class

IMG_0813

Back row from left to right: Ronnie, Carmen, Tamara, Cendrine, Luana, Julie, Miguel, Blair, Chloe & Luca Front row from left to right: Alain, Danilo, Neil

We had three Cambridge classes starting on Monday. You’ve already met CAE and FCE1. Below are some quick facts about FCE2.

Ronnie is from Lucerne, Switzerland and came to Byron Bay because he likes surfing, the beach and the lovely positive atmosphere here. It’s his third time in Australia and he wants to learn better English for business and travelling.

Carmen, Tamara, Cendrine, Luana and Julie are also all from Switzerland. Carmen loves singing songs and playing soccer, Tamara likes snowboarding or go biking or horseriding, Cendrine enjoys travelling and Luana is planning to travel around Australia for three months after her course finishes and Julie has a pet.

Miguel is 25 years old and from Brazil. Back home he’s a mining engineer. He likes to skate and play soccer.

Blair  and Chloe are from South Korea. Blair lived in Noosa, before coming to Bay. She is friendly and very confidence while Chloe’s partner described her as really nice and open-minded.

Luca and Alain are from Switzerland. Luca likes sport and is interested in hip-hop music while Alain like playing soccer and drawing. He is here because he wants to learn English and get his mind free. .

Danilo from Italy likes playing volleyball and, finally, Neil, also from Switzerland is really into surfing, which is why he chose Byron. He also likes going on holiday in other countries.

Meet the FCE1 Class

This morning Paul’s FCE1 class asked each other some probing questions about their hometowns, their hobbies, their personalities and their likes and dislikes and then wrote a report on their partner. Below are some of the most interesting extracts from these reports (NB. I have edited/corrected these ones slightly).

FullSizeRender1

Back row from left to right: Doeun, Livia, Paul (teacher) Brian, Fabricio, Elia, Jana Front row from left to right: Remo, Janosch, Simon, Benjamin, Nicole

Doeun is from South Korea. She says that Byron Bay is more relaxed than her country, which is very developed, crowded and noisy. She has just started surfing and she says she likes every music except rock or metal, but it depends on her mood. She used to be shy but now she likes meeting new people and learning with them.

Livia is from Brazil and she said that the biggest difference between here are Brazil are that here there are not many poor people and that they are used to eating different food in Brazil. She can’t surf but as soon as it gets warmer she will start to learn. Livia finds it attractive if a man is smart, funny and ambitious but should could never be with someone aggressive, rude or if he’s doing drugs.

Brian is from South Korea. He will try to find a job in Byron after he finishes his course. His country is smaller than Australia but has more people; 50,000,000 people exactly. He finds if someone is punctual and generous they are good traits but if his wife were selfish it would make him said.

Fabricio is from Lucern. He likes listening to electronic music and doing sports. In the winter he likes skiing and snowboarding.

Elia is from Obwalden. He likes snowboarding and rock classics. He wants to learn to surf.

Jana is from Zurich and describes her hometown as a beautiful place but much colder than here. She’s going to travel for one month along the east coast, when she finishes her course. She is attracted to pen with gentle, generous personalities but wouldn’t want to marry a husband who is selfish.

Remo is going to spend 6 months in Australia; 3 to study and 3 to travel. He said that in Switzerland they have to work harder and it’s busier than Byron Bay. His preferences in music depend on his mood and he like people who are funny but doesn’t like grumpy people.

Janosch is also from Switzerland and is 26. He likes the ocean and the surfer lifestyle. His passion is diving in the sea. He likes all difference kinds of music.

Simon is a 20 year old guy, who likes all kinds of sports. Before he came to Australia he finished his military service at home in Switzerland. Now he is here in Byron to learn English and enjoy the life.

Benjamin is going to travel through Australia and Asia after here. He said the biggest difference between here and Switzerland is the sea. He likes going the beach and wants to learn to surf. He finds it attractive when somebody is funny, smart and he can talk to them a lot.

Nicole is 19 years old and speaks three languages; German, English and a little bit of French. In her free time she likes going out with her friend, cooking or baking or doing different kinds of sport. She’s never tried to surf but now she’s in Australia she would like to learn. Nicole really likes people who make her laugh but wouldn’t like it if her future husband was untidy.

Today was the first full day of lesson for the Byron’s new CAE class. To help them get to know each other and for all of us at Lexis English to learn a bit more about them all, they each interviewed another class member and then wrote an introductory paragraph about them.

What our students say about Lexis Byron Bay!

IMG_20150907_145438838

Yesterday, Claudia’s Intermediate class looked at the language of advertising and then wrote some copy to promote Lexis Byron Bay.

Below is the unedited versions from three of our students. The bits highlighted in bold are my favourites. It seems we have some talented copywriters in our classrooms. 🙂


Welcome to Byron Bay, the most beautiful town of Australia!

Lexis School has so many things to offer. There are 8 lovely classrooms with a lot of space and light. It’s a pleasure to go to the lessons. And what about the teachers? They’re just amazing! Really cool, here to help you, to answer all your questions.

You’ll never be alone at Lexis school! Lexis provides you many services like accommodations, kitchen, garden, a living room with sofas, tv, books and table tennis. If you don’t wanna live in  the accommodations, you can choose homestays. You’re in a house near school and maybe you do awesome activities with your host family! It’s not doubts the best way to improve your English.

IMG_8578

Studying English at Lexis is the best way to improve your English because you always have to think in English and to speak English because of the school’s policy. You can’t speak another language than English in the school. If you’re caught speaking another language, you have to come back home. But no worries, other students are in the same situation and every student will improve his English.

At Lexis we have three hours lesson, one hour break and one hour options. At 2 o’clock, school is already finished. After you  can enjoy the beautiful and weather by going to the beach or by joining the daily school’s activities.

IMG_20150828_143056

Byron Bay is the place to be if you’re someone relaxed and easy going. No time to complain, no reason to complain! Just enjoy life under the sun! So come to Byron and breathe free!

Cambridge Welcome BBQ!

This afternoon we had a big BBQ (or “sausage sizzle”) to welcome our new Cambridge students.
IMG_20150907_144425255Teacher Paul cooked the sausages, and the students relaxed with some food and drinks, sat and chatted in the sun, and played some games like soccer, ping pong and volley ball.

IMG_20150907_150134781IMG_20150907_145131979

IMG_20150907_133602310

A very warm welcome to our new Cambridge class. It’s great to see so many new faces!

Starting today we have Michelle, Jasmin, Tom, Miguel, Christophe, Till, Naomi, Raphael, Elia, Brian, Fabricio, Nicole, Jana, Remo, Julia, Benjamin, Janosch, Simon, Luana, Blair, Carmen, Cendrine, Luca, Danilo, Neil, Ronnie and Tamara.

Welcome to Byron Bay everyone, we hope you have a fantastic time here at Lexis English!

Today’s New General English Starters (7/9/15)

IMG_20150907_112957464

Back from left to right: Ludovine, Sabrina, Raphaela, Silvia, Amandine, Simon, Miho Front: Kazuya

Today Lexis English |Byron Bay welcomes more than 40 new students; two FCE classes, one CAE class and eight new General English students.

In General English, we met Ludovine and Amandine from France, Miho and Kazuya from Japan and Raphaela, Sabrina, Silvia and Simon from Switzerland.

Ludovine is going to study in Byron Bay for 12 weeks and then move to Lexis Perth. She hopes to be fluent in English by the time she goes back to France, where she studies Graphic Design and works at a cheese stall.

Amandine comes from Aix en Provence in France where she work training staff in quality control for chocolate and other sweet goods. She said that she wasn’t interested in learning English in France because the teaching wasn’t good but is motivated now because she wants to do a road trip in Australia.

Miho comes from Nagoya in Japan, where she has a cute 15 year old dog. She was working in an office before she came here but wants to do something different, hopefully using her English, when she returns. She has been learning English since she was 13 and studied for a month in Melbourne when she was a high school student.

Kazuya worked in a restaurant in Japan, but always dreamed about going abroad. He wrote on his placement test this morning that he “didn’t understand it all but I’ll do my best” and will start in our Elementary class.

Raphaela has sisters called Ramona and Rachelle and worked in a drugstore in Switzerland. When she finishes studying at Lexis, she will spend two months travelling around Australia, both alone and with her friend, who will come out from Switzerland to join her for a trip from Cairns to Sydney.

Silvia works in logistics and enjoys her job. She wants to improve her English because she likes the language and also because it will be useful for her work. She likes reading books, going out with her friends and sleeping.

And finally, Simon likes music, the sea, the sun and hanging out with friends so I think Byron Bay will be absolutely perfect for him. His dream is to be able to write music in English and, hopefully, we’ll be able to help him do that.

A very big warm welcome to all of you. We hope you have a memorable time here at Lexis English.

Cricket!

This afternoon our activity was cricket. Lots of students came outside to play with Marie and Laura.

IMG_20150904_143012230

Marie was the captain of the Australian team and Laura was the captain of the English team. Marie gave everyone some tips about how to improve their technique.

IMG_20150904_142842808

DK was a very powerful bowler and bowled many members of the Australian team “out”. England were winning to start with, but later in the game Tommy scored “6” many times with his impressive batting skills and put Australia in the lead.

IMG_20150904_143547051

Australia won the game and the team members received beer as a prize. Well done to the Australian team!

Weekend Trips for September

Untitled

Check out the deals that Luiz from BWT has organised for Lexis students for September.

Personally, I’ve done both the Morning paddle and the Kayaking and they are great fun. And I’ve heard really good reports about the surf camp.

Luiz is in every week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays to answer any of your travel, transport or adventure queries.

Have fun!

Korean Cooking!

Today’s activity was Korean Cooking led by DK, who had been working hard all day to prepare his dish.

IMG_20150902_141702572

He cooked “Boolgogi” which is a Korean dish made with beef, capsicum, spring onions, soy sauce, crushed garlic, sugar and interestingly, kiwi fruit!

IMG_20150902_141302934

DK had already prepared some Boolgogi for us to try. Then he demonstrated the cooking method, and most of the students tried a plate of Boolgogi with rice. Everyone said it tasted great!

IMG_20150902_142230200

DK told me that at home, he would normally make this dish for dinner.

IMG_20150902_142704432

Thank you DK for your delicious Korean cooking demonstration!IMG_20150902_143242848

Coffee Club!

This afternoon 11 students met outside in the sunshine with Claudia and Laura to drink coffee, eat Tim Tams and have a chat.IMG_20150901_144417869

There were many different questions to discuss, including “Have you ever seen a whale?”, “What is the best thing about your home country?” and “Why did you choose to come to Australia?” IMG_20150901_143337368

It was a great opportunity to learn more about each other. I (Laura) really enjoyed meeting you all. Thanks for coming everyone!

Meet The Staff – Laura: Activities and Student Support Officer

Hello everyone! I’m Laura and I’m the new Activities and Student Support Officer here at Lexis Byron Bay.

LexisLauraB

I’m from the UK but I first came to Australia 2 years ago as a backpacker. I had a great time travelling to places like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Noosa, the Whitsunday Islands, Tasmania and of course, Byron Bay! I came back to Australia earlier this year and I’m really enjoying living in Byron, it’s such a fun place to live and work.

In the past I’ve worked at an aquarium, a beach and a museum. I’ve also worked with language students, so I love meeting people from all over the world.

My hobbies include photography and anything to do with the beach – I spend most of my free time there. I also love to travel… so far I’ve been to France, Cyprus, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Norway, Italy, South Africa, Thailand, Indonesia and Australia. In the future I’d like to visit New Zealand and South America.

I’ll be based up at reception and running the activities, so come and say hello and introduce yourself when you see me at school or around town. I’m excited about getting to know you all and looking forward to helping you make the most of your time in Byron!
