December Activities Calendar!
November is almost over so I’m very excited to announce which activities we have planned for December…
There’s a lot to be excited about in December – the arrival of summer, Christmas, school holidays and of course plenty of fun and exciting activities to look forward to and many prizes to be won…
On the first and last Mondays of the month, Flavio will be back for his popular skateboarding sessions! Stefanie will join us on the other Mondays for some calming yoga classes.
Tuesdays will alternative between Job Club (for those who need help finding and applying for jobs) and Coffee Lounge, so you can mix with students from other classes.
On Wednesdays we’ll have Brazilan Cooking, a Trivia Quiz, a Poker Tournament and in the final week, Christmas cooking!
On Thursdays we’ll have our Movie Showings, plus a Discussion Workshop in the first week of December to help you practice and improve your speaking and discussion skills. The final Thursday is our last day before Christmas, so we’ll have the Lexis Olympics and Christmas party.
Fridays are the perfect opportunity to go to the beach! This month we’ll have Beach Soccer, a Sandcastle Building Competition and Beach Volleyball.
Remember, all of these activities are free, fun and a fantastic chance to learn new skills and meet other students 🙂
Table Tennis Tournament!
A Lexis Table Tennis Tournament is one of the few things which can persuade our students to stay inside on a sunny afternoon (usually they escape to the beach as soon as possible!)
Charlotte, Lulu, Raphael and Danilo made it to the semi finals. Danilo was playing well and the girls put up a strong fight, but nobody was surprised when Raphael won in the final against Charlotte. Well done Raphael!

Patricia, Rocio, Sarah, Tim, Adrian and Igor
We have 6 new students joining us at Lexis Byron Bay this week – Patricia, Rocio, Sarah, Tim, Adrian and Igor.
Patricia Jabbour is from Brazil and she loves surfing! She is always travelling to surf so she hopes that in Australia she can combine her passion for the waves with improving her English.
Rocio Perez Ruiz is from Spain and she loves summer and spending time at the beach, which is why she chose Byron Bay! Improving her English will help her in her job in hotels, as it will be easier to speak with guests and with the travel agencies.
Sarah Matter is from Switzerland and her hobbies include horse riding and other sports like gymnastics. She works as a painter. This is her first time in Australia and she hopes to improve her English here at Lexis for 3 months before travelling for 1 month.
Tim Gyger from Switzerland chose to come to Australia because he wants to see the world, and in Switzerland people don’t smile enough! His hobby is boxing. Learning English will make it easier for him to travel, as this is one of his passions.
Adrian Pini is also from Switzerland and he enjoys snowboarding in winter and swimming in rivers and seas in the summer. He also likes skateboarding. At home he works as a roofer but in Australia he plans to study English, travel and experience the fantastic wildlife.
Igor Bosch Raventos is from Spain where he works as a mountain instructor. He also enjoys diving. He came here to Australia because it is a great opportunity to improve his English and to travel.
Welcome to Lexis Byron Bay! We hope you have a wonderful time here 🙂
Beach Cricket!
What a perfect sunny day for some sport at the beach!
This afternoon Chris, Tom, Yann, Kevin, Adrien, Toni, Rayan and Illi joined me at the beach for a game of beach cricket. Most of them had never played before, but with the beer prize in their minds they unleashed their competitive sides…
It was a close match but in the end Chris, Tom, Yann and Kevin won by 6 runs. Well done guys!
After the match, we all jumped in the sea to cool off – a perfect end to the afternoon!

Fun at the Farmers Market! By the IELTS class
This morning the IELTS class went to the Farmers Market. Some of us bought vegetables and fruit but not only that: we were also really interested in drinking fresh juices and eating muffins! We enjoyed different types of live music in combination with the beautiful blue sky. Most impressive was the guy playing piano. It was his own original music which went deep inside people’s minds.
Today, we went to the Farmers Market! The weather was great and we met a lot of people from other generations. Besides buying vegetables and fruits, we listened to some good local music. The Farmers Market is an ideal place to socialise and to have the possibility to talk to the locals. Before we had to leave the market to go back to school, we enjoyed delicious local coffee from Nashua Valley Organic Coffee.
A sunny morning at the Farmers Market!
Today is a beautiful sunny day in Byron Bay! This morning our Elementary, IELTS and Intermediate classes visited the Farmers Market to practise their vocabulary, speaking and listening skills (and sample some delicious Byron Bay produce!)
Takuma, Zdenek and Hiro found the price per kilo for different fruits and vegetables
Gwladys, Mathilde, Amandine, Melody and Lucille learnt about some locally produced food
Raphaela, Marine and Lucille tried some refreshing sugar cane juice
Pedro enjoyed a musical performance in the shade
Lucas and Simon enjoyed a drink
Boomerang Painting!
Our afternoon was full of fun, colour and creativity for our Boomerang Painting activity!
We learnt some Aboriginal art symbols and many of the students incorporated these into their own boomerang designs.
The finished boomerangs looked fantastic, great job everyone!

Julia’s CAE class share their talents!
This morning Julia’s CAE class had fun teaching each other new skills, to practise their presentation and explanation techniques. Here’s what they got up to…
I taught my mates how to whistle by using both hands. It is an uncommon way of whistling that allows you to make different sounds – MIGUEL
Today, I taught Naomi, Till and Paola how to cook a fast, cheap and delicious recipe: tomatoes stuffed with tuna – QUENTIN
I taught Michelle and Miguel how to play a funny card game called Nuts. Then they played one round and Michelle won – AURELIE
Aurelie teaching a card game
Today, I taught Quentin, Till and Naomi how to do different juggles with three and two balls, and they did all of them very fast – PAOLA
Paola teaching juggling
Within 5 minutes I taught them how to fold an origami swan – JASMIN
Jasmin teaching how to fold an origami swan
Today I taught Paola, Quentin and Till how to juggle a football. As most of them have done it before they didn’t need many instructions. After a few minutes they were all able to juggle – NAOMI
Naomi teaching football skills
Today I taught my classmates about the Australian Thermometer Chicken, a very interesting species. They were delighted – TILL
Till talking about the Australian Thermometer Chicken(!?)
In the last hour before Tuesday lunchtime, I showed my fellow classmates how to beatbox. We started to practise some pop and click sounds and continued with base sound. The last and most difficult part was to combine both things together. Rapha did great while Chris and Jasmin were struggling a bit with that – NEIL
I taught them how to juggle – RAPHAEL
I taught my friends a card trick with 25 cards – CHRIS
New Starters! November 16
Today we welcome six new starters to Lexis Byron Bay – Ai, Laura, Yann, Yumiko, Toni and Rayan.
Ai Nishioka is from Japan and her hobbies are listening to music, reading lots of books, watching movies and snowboarding. Now she’s in Australia she wants to try surfing, wakeboarding and other watersports. In the future she wants to study Business English and work in a hotel, so it’s important for her to improve her English.
Laura Soravia is from Germany and describes herself as friendly, communicative and funny. She really enjoys dancing and going out with her friends. She has just finished her school exams and after her time in Australia she wants to study International Social Work or Psychology. She chose to study English in Australia because here she can study, travel and work.
Yann Wellhauser from Switzerland has transferred from Lexis Noosa and now he will study at Lexis Byron Bay for 4 weeks. After his studies he will spend some time travelling in Australia and New Zealand.
Yumiko Konishi from Japan has come to Byron Bay because she has a friend who also studied here, so she heard it is a great place to improve her English, enjoy the Byron lifestyle and learn about Australian culture. She plans to study here for 2 weeks.
Toni Josef Burch is also from Switzerland and although he only arrived on Saturday, he has already had a busy weekend exploring Byron Bay with his host family. He even experienced his first Aussie BBQ!
Rayan Seri from Switzerland and he has four little brothers who will miss him while he’s away! His hobbies include music, sport, mangas and films and he also enjoys football. After his adventure in Australia he plans to study Law at university. First, he will spend 6 months in Australia improving his English and travelling.
A big warm welcome to you all! 🙂
Surf Lessons with Style Surf
Some of our students went surfing with Gaz at Style Surf over the weekend. Lucille, Cheryl, Estelle and Karin caught some great waves… check out their photographs!
Beach Sports!
This afternoon the weather was beautiful so we went to Belongil beach to play some beach sports. First we played volleyball, then we all jumped in the sea to cool off, and finally we played a bit more volleyball and the boys showed off their soccer skills.
Graduation! November 13
Today we say goodbye to 2 students – Olivia Klein and Daniel Spiess.
Olivia Klein from Switzerland has been at Lexis for 8 weeks studying General English and the IELTs Preparation Course. Her teacher Anji said she is quiet, sweet, lovely and also very smart. Now Olivia will travel in Australia for 5 weeks, first to Cairns, then Adelaide and Sydney before flying home. Have a great time, Olivia!
Olivia Klein with her teacher Anji
Daniel Spiess also from Switzerland has been at Lexis for just 3 weeks but during that time he has interacted and participated well in his classes. Daniel said thank you to his class and teachers. He also plans to travel next and will soon be heading to Cairns. Enjoy the rest of your time in Australia, Daniel.
Daniel Spiess with his teacher Jodie
Discussion Workshop
Today Ju, Yuka, Andrea, Kana and Jin joined me for our Discussion Workshop activity (fuelled by some Tim Tams of course!)
Our topic today was culture – especially Australian culture. We discussed questions like “what do you think of Australian people?” “why do you think Australians are so crazy about sport?” and “do you know any Aussie vocabulary?”
It was great to hear everyone’s thoughts and ideas. Next Thursday, our discussion topic will be travel… see you then!

Italian Cooking – Pizza Making!
This afternoon we did some Italian cooking in the student kitchen and made some delicious pizzas!
It was an eventful hour… as well as making some tasty and colourful pizzas, Renata learnt how to use a tin-opener for the first time and Miguel taught me how to sharpen a knife… there’s always something to learn in the kitchen!
Everyone who went to the beach instead – you missed out! The pizzas were yummy 🙂
Student Night!
Student Night at Cheeky Monkey’s was very busy last night, it was fantastic to see so many of you there for another fun-filled night of food, drinks, pool, music, chatting and dancing. Well done to Cedric for winning $100 in the dance-off competition!

Graduation! 6 November
Three students are graduating from Lexis Byron Bay today – Pol Celda Guell, Loan Rafael Mariethoz and Susanna Tormanen.
Pol Celda Guell from Spain has been at Lexis Byron Bay for 14 weeks and he has been a friendly, positive and hard working student. His teacher Anji said he is so much fun and his English has improved a lot during his time here. We will miss you, Pol! (Read more about Pol here.)
Loan Rafael Mariethoz from Switzerland has been at Lexis Byron Bay for 10 weeks and graduates from the Intermediate class. His teacher Claudia said he is always happy and it’s been great to have him at school. Good luck for the future, Loan!
Susanna Tormanen from Finland has been with us for just one week in the IELTS class and her teacher Anji said she has been an excellent student. Susanna needs to get a high IELTS score so now she will keep studying hard to achieve it. Goodbye and good luck Susanna!
Discussion Workshop
This afternoon we had 2 different activities – a movie showing of “Limitless” (with popcorn) and a Discussion Workshop (with Tim-Tams!)
Ju and Kanta joined me to discuss today’s topic – alcohol! We chatted about our own drinking habits, why people drink alcohol, how we feel when we see very drunk people, and whether people from different cultures have different attitudes to alcohol.
Discussion Workshops will be happening every Thursday this month. They are a great chance to discuss topics, share your opinions and practice your speaking and listening skills. See you next time!
Meet The Staff – Kristy Jones
Which languages can you speak?
English and kiwi 🙂
What is Byron Bay’s best kept secret?
To walk along the beach from Main beach to Belongil, especially during twilight or at night with a full moon.
Tell us something about you that we didn’t know
I’m learning Italian so I can speak to my mother in law.
Which is the best restaurant/cafe in Byron Bay?
Green Pig
What is your English learning tip?
Learn new words every day and practice using them to expand your vocabulary
Learning English at Lexis – Pol’s Story
Pol Celda Guell has been in Australia studying English with Lexis for 11 months, first at Lexis Noosa and more recently at Lexis Byron Bay for the past 14 weeks.
His English has improved dramatically during this time… when he first came to Australia his English was very basic but this week he will graduate at Upper-Intermediate level. Great work, Pol!
I spoke to Pol to find out more about his experiences at Lexis and his favourite things about Byron Bay.
Where are you from?
Barcelona, Spain.
Why did you come to Australia?
I have always wanted to come here since I was a child. I knew about all the animals and I always had the feeling that I wanted to come here.
What is your favourite thing about Byron Bay?
I like the ambience and attitude of the people. Lexis Byron Bay has a family feeling, everyone knows each other and spends time together.
How has your English improved at Lexis?
I have learnt a lot, I am more confident and people tell me I have improved so much. I keep expecting more – it’s good to have high goals!
What would you say to someone who is considering studying at Lexis Byron Bay?
If you are starting at a low level it’s very good because you have classes every day and afterwards in the activities you keep practicing English. You meet people and the teachers are very helpful, the teachers here have helped me so much. Also if you are preparing for an exam like IELTS it’s a good place.
What are your plans after you graduate from Lexis?
I will spend a couple of days in Brisbane and then I will go back to Barcelona. I have already travelled in the middle of my stay here, so now I am ready to go home.
How do you think English will help you in the future?
Of course it will help me a lot… for work, travelling, meeting people and being able to have meaningful conversations. There will be many opportunities…
Thanks for chatting with me Pol! We will miss you after you graduate this week, good luck for the future! 🙂
