Student Night!

Posted on September 30, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

Today’s activity was Coffee Club!

Junya, Frido, Nicole, Sofie, Ludivine, Benji, Billy, Marine and Asa joined me (Laura) in the garden for Tim Tams, coffee and conversation.

We chatted about Byron Bay, our favourite nightspots, surfing and some other questions like “Would you ever hold a spider?” and “What is the craziest thing you have ever done?”

October Activities!

Posted on September 29, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

Lexis is getting busier and busier at the moment, and many more new students will be joining us throughout October.

We have another busy and exciting activity calendar this month. There’s a wide range each week, with creative and sports activities like Cooking, Yoga, Movies, Debating, Poker, Beach Cricket, Beach Soccer, Sandcastle Building, a Table Tennis Competition, a Lighthouse Bush Walk, and a Halloween BBQ.

And, of course, we continue to run the fortnightly Coffee Lounge so you can mix with students from other classes, and the fortnightly Job Club for those who need help finding and applying for jobs.

Remember, all of these activities are free, fun and a fantastic chance to learn new skills and meet other students!

New Starters! 28 September

Posted on September 28, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

We have 7 new students starting this week at Lexis Byron Bay – Cedric, Kanta, Akira, Nicole, Billy, Benji and Marine.

Kanta, Benji, Billy, Marine, Nicole, Cedric, and Akira at the back!

Kanta Ohsuga is from Japan. He is a triplet! So he has 2 sisters the same age. In Japan he works as a computer programmer, so he likes PCs. Now he is in Australia to improve his written and spoken English.

Billy Babino is from a small village in Switzerland and he enjoys skating and surfing. He has complated a boat building apprenticeship and chose to come to Australia because he loves surfing and the Australian lifestyle. After studying at Lexis he plans to travel.

Benjamin Duthaler is from Switzerland and he has worked as an electrician since finishing school. He has come to Australia to learn English and he likes Byron Bay because it is not too big, and the beach is beautiful.

Cedric Esteves Fernandes is from Switzerland and he enjoys football, it is his favourite hobby. He wants to learn English so that he can travel all over the world!

Akira Kugawa is from Japan and he loves surfing, the ocean is his life! He also loves old cars and tattoos. He says that Byron Bay is his paradise.

Library Visit! By Julia’s CAE Class

Posted on September 28, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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!

Posted on September 28, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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!

Come and see us at reception if you want to book a surf lesson! 🙂

Table Tennis Tournament!

Posted on September 25, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

Today was a rainy day in Byron Bay, so instead of beach volleyball we had another table tennis tournament!

We started out with 10 competitors – Quentin, Tom, Chris, Raphael, DK, Aurelie, Raphael D, Luca, Benjamin and Hung.

Aurelie, Luca, Tom and Raphael made it to the semi finals.

The final was between Luca and Raphael, and was full of excitement!

In the end, Raphael was our new champion and took home the beer prize!

IELTS Class Visit Byron Bay Farmers Market!

Posted on September 25, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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

Sofie, 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. Aurora bought rainbow fruit and everyone liked it. Finally, Tomaso sampled pumpkin chili jam and said it had a delicious flavor, sweet and spicy. He bought dragon fruit too but didn’t already eat it so we are still waiting the verdict…

Graduation! 25 September

Posted on September 25, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

We have just 1 student graduating this week from Lexis Byron Bay – Luciana Guerra.

Luciana has been here at Lexis for 4 weeks in the Intermediate class. Her teacher Claudia said Luciana has learned a lot, and is fun, happy and always smiling. Luciana said “Thank you everyone!”

We’ll miss you Luciana, good luck!

Happy Student – Urs!

Posted on September 23, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

This week, meet our student Urs from Switzerland!

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!

Posted on September 23, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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.

The finished boomerangs looked fantastic!

Whale Watching in Byron Bay!

Posted on September 23, 2015 by Lexis | 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.

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

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.
Keep your eyes open at the beach – you might see the splash of a whale out in the water!
Take a kayaking trip (ask Luiz at BWT!) to get really close to the whales.
Go on a whale watching tour (Whale Watching Byron Bay run trips every day)
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!

Posted on September 22, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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 :)

Posted on September 21, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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.

New Starters! 21/09/15

Posted on September 21, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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!

Posted on September 18, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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.

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

Posted on September 18, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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!

Mayu

Mayu and her teacher Claudia

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.”

Mayumi and her teacher Kathleen

Mayumi

Goodbye and good luck to both of you!

How to Build the Perfect Sandcastle

Posted on September 17, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

Choose a spot reasonably close to the shoreline on flat wettish sand.

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.

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.

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.

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

Posted on September 17, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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.

Coffee Club!

Posted on September 15, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

We had another sunny Coffee Club in the garden this afternoon. Lots of students came along for coffee, Tim Tams and a chat!

Posted on September 9, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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

Posted on September 9, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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).

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.

Meet the CAE class (in their own words)

Posted on September 8, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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.

And here it is. The CAE class in their own (unedited) words:

From left to right:
Michelle, Miguel, Naomi, Tom, Aurelie, Raphael, Jasmin, Chris, Paola, Till

Michelle is a very passionate soccer player in her hometown Embrach, Switzerland. She’s working in a bank as an accountant. She’s going to stay in Byron for 3 months and then she’s going to travel all around the country for 1 month. That’s where she can fulfil her biggest wish – to see and travel a lot and just be happy.

Miguel is from Spain. He likes the sport in general like swimming, running. He likes listening to music and reading. Miguel want to work in a place where he loves what he’s doing. Laos and Vietnam were the best places he has travelled. Miguel stay here 3 months to improve English then he would like to travel one month.

Naomi comes from Switzerland. She is staying in Australia for three months to pass the CAE and travellilng around Byron Bay. She likes sport a lot like soccer and swimming.

Tom was working for a bank before coming to Australia. Tom loves practise sport, especially water sports. He likes listening rock and house music. Tom thinks that Byron Bay is the best place where he’s been to.

Aurelie is from Montreux, Switzerland. She is here to improve her English. In Byron she can recommend to go to the lighthouse. In Switzerland she was a student and in her free time she was fencing and playing volleyball. In her life she wants to have a family.

Raphael is from Switzerland. He is going to be in Australia for 4 months and a half; 3 in Byron, studying English, and one and a half travelling around the east coast. He has already travelled for 10 days in the west coast. He is living in a homestay in Suffolk Park and he is very happy with his host mother, who is a teacher in the school. He likes practice water sports like diving, snorkelling, swimming and he wants to learn surfing. He works in a hotel.

Jasmin comes from Switzerland. The town she lives is called Duebendorf, that’s situation near Zurich. She’s here to improve her English for her future job. From Australia she haven’t seen so much yet but she was at the market in Byron and also at the beach.

Christophe is from Switzerland and he’s staying in Byron for 3 months. Before arriving here, he’s been in Sydney for 5 weeks. He enjoys playing tennis and travelling. His favourite place he visited was Benin in Western Africa.

Paola arrived here in Australia in March and has already been travelling from Cairns to Byron Bay. She lives in the accommodation in Lexis and loves all the outside sports like surfing, walking, running or climbing. She worked as a manager in a restaurant in Spain before she came here.

Till lives near Zurich. He finished his high school in June and then travelled to Greece. He’s here to improve in English, having good time and travelling after school. His homestay’s close from the school. He likes sail, watersports and fitness. He’s also interested in what happens around the world like actuality and politics.

It’s lovely to meet you all. We wish you a fantastic three months in Byron Bay.

What our students say about Lexis Byron Bay!

Posted on September 8, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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.

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.

Cambridge Welcome BBQ!

Posted on September 7, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

This afternoon we had a big BBQ (or “sausage sizzle”) to welcome our new Cambridge students.
Teacher 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.

It was great to see everyone getting to know each other!

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

Posted on September 7, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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!

Posted on September 4, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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

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.

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.

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

Weekend Trips for September

Posted on September 3, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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!

Posted on September 2, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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

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

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!

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

Thank you DK for your delicious Korean cooking demonstration!

Coffee Club!

Posted on September 1, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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

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?”

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

Posted on September 1, 2015 by Lexis | Byron Bay

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

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!
