This afternoon we enjoyed the lovely, sunny weather out in the garden with a friendly game of volleyball.
Fourteen students joined in the match at different times, playing over two 12-minute halves.
The competition was tough with the scores even for almost the whole game, making it a great game to watch for the many spectators on the sidelines!
At full time, the scores were tied 36-36! An extra point was played, with the team who wins that point wins the game. The players on both sides were determined , but at the end of the day there can only be one winning team. Congratulations to Natsumi, Inola, Floriant, Abel, Marco and Estelle! Enjoy the well deserved beer! 🙂

Today we have just two students graduating from Lexis Byron Bay – Ryoma and Ravi.
Ryoma is from Japan and is graduating from Kristy and Kathleen’s Pre-Intermediate class. He has been an active student in class and has improved his English during his time here. Ryoma’s lovely nature and sense of humour were valued both in the classroom and out. His plans for the future are unknown (even for tomorrow!) but we wish him the very best with wherever the waves take him!
Ravi is from Brazil and graduates from Kristy and Kathleen’s Pre-Intermediate class. He made excellent progress with his English and is able to communicate very well with people from all different backgrounds. He was a positive, outgoing and compassionate student in class. All the best, Ravi!
We also had the final draw for attending the FREE English Classes this week. Yuki was the lucky winner of the 6-pack of Coopers beer and a packet of TimTams!

Today we spent some time in the kitchen preparing possibly the most delicious raw dessert ever made in the Lexis kitchen!
Eleven Lexis students helped prepare the ingredients to make a base with layers of coconut and chocolate, topped off with another layer of chocolate . YUMMY! <3
The hardest part of making raw dessert – being patient. The mini tarts are sitting in the freezer (safe from thrifty fingers – I’m looking at you, Santi!) overnight for an excellent morning break snack tomorrow!
If you want to try this yourself, here is the recipe:
RAW LAYERED CHOCOLATE AND COCONUT TART
INGREDIENTS:
For the Base
1 cup Almond Meal
½ cup Peanut Butter
3/4 cup Coconut Oil
1/2 cup Desiccated Coconut
½ cup Sweetener
1 tsp Vanilla
¼ tsp Salt
For the Layers 2 Tbsp Cocoa
1 cup Tbsp Sweetener
2 cups Peanut Butter
1/2 cup Desiccated Coconut
1/2 cup Coconut Oil
1½ tsp Vanilla
½ tsp Salt
For the Topping
1 block Chocolate
3 Tbsp Coconut Oil
Handful of Desiccated Coconut
METHOD:
Prepare a cake or muffin pan lined with baking paper. Place in the freezer while preparing base.
For the Base
Put all ingredients in a bowl, mixing until well combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky and hold its shape easily. Add more almond meal if it is too sticky or more oil if it is too dry.
Pour mixture into prepared pan and press down, covering the bottom of the pan evenly. Return pan to the freezer while preparing the layers.
For the Layers
Combine all ingredients in a bowl, except the cocoa. The mixture should be thick like a paste. Add more peanut butter if it is too runny or more oil if it is too dry.
Split the mixture in two, putting one half in a separate bowl.
From one bowl, spoon about 1/3 of the mixture into the pan, spreading it across the base until it is covered in an even layer.
Return pan to the freezer to allow that layer to set.
Meanwhile, add cocoa and the extra sweetener to the other bowl of mixture, stirring until well combined. Spoon about 1/3 of this chocolate mixture into the pan over the first layer.
Return pan to the freezer until firm, then repeat the process alternating the layers, allowing some time in between each layer for the layers to firm up in the freezer.
For the Topping
Gently melt the chocolate and oil together in a pan over low heat, stirring to combine.
Pour over the top of the layers then sprinkle with coconut.
Return to the freezer until the topping has hardened (at least 3 hours or overnight).
Slice and enjoy! 🙂

Today in Coffee Club we tackled some of the world’s problems. We answered a range of questions – from what we would do if we ruled the world, to our view of politics and our own governments. Of course we also covered other very important issues such as our favourite ice cream flavours and singing in the shower!
Natsumi showed off her superior skills in the first round, building a tall and precarious tower before it fell to the ground. Inola played her first ever game of Jenga with Marina and myself, enjoying the challenge and learning the tricks of the game quickly!
Above all, it was an enjoyable afternoon of chatting and getting to know you all. 🙂

This week we have four new students at Lexis Byron Bay. Welcome to Lucas, PedroNatsumi and Marina!
Lucas is from Brazil and is an artist. He completed a Graphics Design course and works as an Illustrator and Tattoo Artist. He came to Australia because it always seemed like a great place to visit, and was drawn to the beach at Byron Bay. Lucas hopes to extend his student visa to study an Arts course in painting and other new techniques.
Pedro is from Brazil and worked as an Electrical Engineer. He enjoys exercising every day and loves to cook, and is hoping to get some work in a restaurant, bakery or coffee shop during his time here. He came to Australia because he thinks it is an amazing country and he has some friends living in the area who are enjoying the great Byron lifestyle! Pedro hopes to become fluent in English and possibly apply to study at a Cooking College or similar.
Natsumi is from Japan and grew up in Amami-ohshima, an island off the south of Japan. She is the youngest in her family of six. Natsumi studied Sports Science and enjoys going for walks, reading books and watching movies.
Marina is from Switzerland and is living in a small village called Saas-Fee. There are no cars are allowed in the village and she prefers the clean air of the village compared to living in a larger town or city. She used to work as a Sales Assistant before but now enjoys her job as a waitress in the tourist town. Marina is in Australia for just six weeks and after her four weeks with Lexis she plans to do some travelling up the east coast.
We hope you all enjoy your time in Byron Bay with the Lexis family!

Learn English in Byron Bay. Lexis English students study General English, IELTS, FCE, CAE and English plus Surfing in a friendly and professional school right in the heart of Byron Bay and only 15 minutes from the beach.
Today we have four students graduating from Lexis Byron Bay – Jeannine, Kim, Mantana and Samonwan.
Jeannine is from Switzerland and graduates from Claudia’s Upper-Intermediate class. She has been a pleasure to teach in class and has been a truly valued member of the Lexis family in Byron Bay! She was a very active participant in class activities and discussions, and has made great improvements with her English. All the best for your travels in Australia over the next month!
Kim is from Korea and graduates from Kristy and Kathleen’s Pre-Intermediate class. He has shown great progress in his English grammar and vocabulary during his time here, and has excellent spoken English with a beautiful accent. Kim will be staying and working in Byron Bay, so if you miss him, you can find him at the fish and chip shop in Byron!
Mantana and Samonwan are from Thailand and graduate from Mel and Becky’s Elementary class. These sisters have been a pleasure to have in class. Both have improved their English speaking skills and have developed their confidence during their time here at Lexis Byron Bay. Enjoy your time in Melbourne and safe travels back to Thailand!
(They were too quick to exit the stage, so unfortunately this is the only photo we have of their graduation! Here you can see Samonwan in front of her older sister Mantana)
We also had a couple of prizes to award today…
Congratulations to Yuki who won the 6-pack of Coopers beer and a packet of TimTams for attending the free English lessons this week!
Earlier in the week we had some great suggestions for ways to enforce the English Only policy downstairs in the student lounge, and the ideas with the most votes won a prize. Congratulations to Estelle, Nami, Nuria and Elisabeth who won First Prize, which was two 2-for-1 vouchers for a Kayaking trip with BWT! Their idea was: If you speak another language, you have to do a pledge on graduation day (like a song, dance or little game).
The runner up prize went to Shinsuke and Maito who won a 6-pack of beer! Their idea was: If a student speaks different languages, they must pay money. This money can be used for improvements to the school.
Thanks to everyone who came up with all the wonderful ideas! We were very impressed with the wide range of ideas and will be looking closely at whether it is possible to implement some of these.

Today’s activity was a 1-hour surf lesson with Blake at Lets Go Surfing! Seven Lexis students – Natalia, Vera, Jeannine, Marco, Yuki, David and Cyril – took advantage of this awesome deal and were kitted out with rashies and surfboards.
Blake took them down to The Pass, where the best waves are today, and after learning a few of the basics about surfing, they were heading into the water and catching waves!
The students – happy and maybe a little bit exhausted – after the surf lesson!

Jeannine has been a student at Lexis for the past 12 weeks. She has loved Byron Bay, with her favourite thing being the Lighthouse because it is such a relaxing place to look out at the expansive ocean. While studying, she said her favourite thing about Lexis was the afternoon activities and, in particular, Coffee Club. She has also improved her grammar a lot in her time here, which she is very happy with.
While in Byron Bay, Jeannine lived in a Homestay with her Host-Dad and 4-year-old Host-Sister. She loved becoming part of their little family and developed a special relationship with her Host-Sister who constantly tells Jeannine how much she loves her! They will all keep in contact and the little girl hopes to one day visit Jeannine in Switzerland.
After graduating this Friday, Jeannine has an exciting month of travel planned up the east coast and then down to Melbourne and Sydney. She is most excited about visiting Melbourne for the art, culture and cafes the city has to offer, plus some side trips to the Great Ocean Road and Phillip Island. She also has a friend-of-a-friend there who is going to take her to an AFL match!
Jeannine is looking forward to returning home to see her family, especially her mum and grandfather, who are both meeting her at the airport in Switzerland. She plans to return to her old job as a Dental Assistant and save some money for more travel plans – to visit a friend in Canada next year, and then on to South America too!
It has been a pleasure having you at Lexis and I personally enjoyed our chats together and Coffee Club antics – your Lexis Jenga skills are very impressive! We wish you all the best for your travels in Australia and around the world! 🙂

On Monday we asked our students how we can better enforce the English Only Policy downstairs in the student kitchen and lounge (where there are usually no members of staff to keep watch).
Here are the suggestions:
We can install a microphone to listen to students and if someone speaks in another language the microphone makes a noisy alarm.
Thomas, Vera, Miho and Claudia
If you speak another language, you have to clean up the classrooms.
If you speak another language you are not allowed to spend time with anyone else who speaks the same language during the day.
If you speak another language you won’t be able to join any activities for two days.
Donovan, Noriko and Pablo
For each country, nominate a person who will help all others to speak English only. Encourage not order!
Kim, Ryoma, Yuka and Melanie
If students speak their own language they pay $20 into an English Only box.
One of the teachers stays downstairs during breaks to watch the students
If someone speaks their own language in a mix country group, the other students will give them a punishment or penalty.
Erika, Mayumi, Emiko and Doi.
If one student hears another student taking in another language they can tell a teacher and receive a point. At the end of the week, the student with the most points receive a prize.
Inola, Priscilla, Shinji and Ravi
If a student speaks different languages they must pay money. This money can be used for improvements to the school.
Shinsuke and Maito
All the students’ names are on a board downstairs and if anyone hears someone speaking another language they make a mark next to the students’ name. All students who don’t have a mark at the end of the week go into a draw to win a prize.
Florian
If a student speaks another country’s language give him or her a big report to write e.g. 1000 words.
Bernarda and Yuki
If a student speaks their own language they must go and see a teacher and if they do this more than two times they must also write 10 pages about the school and clean the toilets for a week.
Mantana and Palm
If you speak another language you have to do a pledge on graduation day (like a song, dance or little game.)
If you speak another language you have to write apologies in all the other languages that people speak in the school (English, French, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Japanese etc).
Teachers can take a break with students to practice English in break-time.
Estelle, Nami, Nuria and Elisabeth.
What are you favourite suggestions? On Friday, at graduation we will hand out prizes for the best ideas. I have two vouchers for a dolphin kayak trip with GoSeaKayak (normally valued at $69) to give away plus a six pack of beer. Let me know you think should win.

This afternoon I was joined by seven Lexis Byron Bay students and one Lexis Perth student! We enjoyed coffee and Tim Tams, plus some bonus chocolate, with a rowdy game of Lexis Jenga.
While everyone tried their best to be careful, the Jenga tower fell 5 times! Each time, the person who made it fall had to try some Vegemite straight out of the jar… Emiko, Mayumi and Noriko were not impressed with the Vegemite but Kim and Shin thought it was pretty tasty. Bernarda and Yuki (and Adrian from Perth) also played but were skilled enough to avoid the Vegemite tasting this time round!
Thanks for joining me today, I hope you all enjoyed your coffee, Tim Tams and Vegemite!

Each week, students in our Mixed Skills A2/B1 Options Class take one topic and read about it, write about it, listen to people talk about it and speak about it, learning lots of useful vocabulary and some grammar along the way. Last week the topic was Byron Bay.
The Elementary and Pre-Intermediate students did lots of fun tasks, like write a postcard home and collect tourist information brochures. They went on an excursion to a Tourist Information Centre and finally produced and delivered a leaflet and presentation on the best things to do in Byron Bay. The results were outstanding, as you can see from the pictures below:

Last week our Intermediate class studied abstract nouns; words like solitude, loveliness and failure. Then to bring these words to life, they had to photograph images that illustrated these nouns.
Here are a couple of the photos:
The students didn’t tell me which word they represented but I’m guessing peace and joy. What do you think?

After a quick half-time break, the teams swapped ends, and just one more goal was scored bringing the full time result to 3-2.
Congratulations to the winning team, who enjoyed a 6-pack of beer for their efforts!

Yesterday, the Pre-Intermediate class enjoyed a morning at the farmers’ market and checked out the exotic fruit. The Buddha’s hand was especially interesting; it tastes sour!

2/3 cup caster sugar
3/4 cup desiccated coconut
1/3 cup golden syrup
125g butter
