December Activities Calendar!

December Activs

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.

DSC_0254 (3).jpg

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.

I taught them how to juggle – RAPHAEL

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!

12212580_10156176130205612_1012323723_n

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 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!

Learning English at Lexis – Pol’s Story

12202198_10156156418725612_1955417641_n

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! 🙂
