This afternoon we enjoyed our coffee and TimTams in a truly Australian style – using the TimTams as straws to drink our coffee through!
To try this at home (which I highly recommend), bite each end off your TimTam then submerge one end into the coffee (or tea or hot chocolate…any hot drink!) and suck through the other end. Enjoy the coffee and the yummy, gooey taste of a melting TimTam! Just make sure to eat the TimTam before it melts completely and falls in your drink!
We also had some great conversation over an awesome round of Lexis Jenga. 🙂

Santi is from Valencia, Spain and has been at Lexis Byron Bay for 20 weeks, studying in the FCE and CAE classes.
Santi decided to study in Australia so that he could improve his English. He wanted to travel to a place far from home with good weather, beaches and surf. He has always wanted to visit Australia, so studying here was a natural choice!
When he first arrived in Australia, Santi spent the first month in Sydney before coming to Byron Bay. While he did really like Sydney, he prefers living in Byron Bay as he enjoys the relaxed travelers lifestyle here. It is an easy town to get to know, while still having many special places to discover and explore.
There are many things about Byron Bay that Santi believes makes this place so special. His favourite things are the beautiful beaches, feeling like you are living in nature all the time, and the good friends he has made here.
During his time here, Santi has held a job for 4 months working in a pizza place in the nearby town of Brunswick Heads. He felt that he was able to find a good balance with working after finishing school each day and that the work environment and his colleagues really helped him improve his English.
Santi recommends studying at Lexis Byron Bay, whether it is for just one month or for a whole year. He thinks the staff are great and says that the teachers are helpful, listen to the students and are very good at helping you to improve your English. When Santi first arrived in Australia, he had a difficult time understanding the Australian accent. Now, he feels that he has developed his English to an almost fluent level that he is very happy with.
After first studying in FCE and then moving up to CAE, Santi has found the classes to improve his English in all areas. While the exam format of these classes are similar, he found that CAE is at a more advanced level which has enabled him to expand his skills in speaking, grammar and vocabulary. In both classes he has enjoyed the learning environment and said the teachers are fantastic.
Santi believes Byron Bay is such a unique place even compared to other places in Australia. There is always something happening in town, from the variety of live music to the great waves and good surf at the beaches. The feeling Santi gets from Byron Bay is very special, including from all the nice people both living here and travelling through.
After Santi completes his studies at Lexis Byron Bay in two weeks time, he will travel to Sydney for two days before flying to Bali to meet up with some other Lexis friends there. When he returns to Spain, he plans to study International Business at University. For this he believes his level of English will be very helpful in the future.

This afternoon we baked Echidna Cookies – cookies that look like echidnas! If you are unsure what an echidna is, it is an egg-laying mammal that is native to Australia and is somewhat similar in looks to a hedgehog. To find out more about echidnas, check out http://wildcare.org.au/species-information/echidnas/.
Seven students joined me to create these delicious treats that (sort of) resemble the echidna!
Everyone agreed that the cookies looked adorable and were very tasty too – they were all eaten very quickly!
If you want to try making these at home, here is the recipe:
Preheat oven to 160°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
In a small bowl, whisk margarine and sugar together until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla.
Combine flour, ground almonds and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well.
Shape 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball; pinch the dough to form a nose and feet. Repeat until all the dough is used up and place each cookie 2 inches apart on the prepared tray.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Let stand for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely.
In a small saucepan, melt chocolate and coconut oil over very low heat, constantly stirring until smooth.
Holding a cookie by the head, spoon chocolate over the back leaving the face uncovered. Allow any excess to drip off. Place on the baking paper and immediately add sprinkles/flake or slivered almonds for the spikes, and add any other decorations for the eyes, tongue and feet.
Place in the fridge to set, then eat them all! 🙂

Lexis English Byron Bay has been “Highly Commended” in the 2016 Cambridge English Language Assessment awards for preparation centres*.
The Highly Commended status was awarded, in acknowledgement of the exemplary quality of the school’s nomination.
Our entry for the award focused on the student-centred approach Lexis English Byron Bay has towards preparing Cambridge First and Cambridge Advanced candidates.
Some features of this include:
An outstanding team of teachers and staff that really go that extra mile for students who need it; both with studies and personal issues.
An efficient academic program which includes first day, mid-course and end-course tests to and identify and support at-risk students and mid and end-course reports and individual counselling of students. (The final report shows the results of all three tests allowing students to chart the satisfying progression from their pre-test to their end test.)
A suite of student feedback mechanisms including an anonymous form in week two, to identify any issues in time for us to respond, a comprehensive mid-course form where students also evaluate themselves, and an exit questionnaire, where students provide feedback on all aspects of their time in Byron Bay, helping us to make ongoing improvements.
The utilisation of email and social media to communicate formally and informally with students, potential students and agents.
This is what some recent students have said about their experience of studying Cambridge Preparation at Lexis Byron Bay
“Oh thank you so much {for my results} I’m so happy! I would like to thank you for the organisation of Lexis School. I had a so amazing time there. Everything was just perfect, the lessons, the schedule, our unique teacher Paul. So thank you for that!” Celine, Switzerland, CAE March 16.
“Julia is a really good teacher who always asks if we have specific topics to have a look at. She gives me the opportunity to make extra preparation test or writing exercise. I enjoy participating in the class.”
Michelle, Switzerland, CAE Dec 15
“Ellie is a great teacher for me. She is good at teaching and her class is really organised. Also the whiteboard she write is very clearly. She always checks our reading carefully. Therefore I like her class and think she is a great teacher.”
Miho, Japan, FCE March 16
“Josie’s explanations are always clear. She is also really patient when we don’t understand directly and tries to find other examples to make sure we understand properly. I had a great time at Lexis school, much more than I expected so thank you for everything.”
Ludivine, France, FCE March 16
We still have spaces left for the September 2016 Cambridge First and Cambridge Advanced Preparation Courses. Please contact marketing@lexisenglish.com for more details.

This afternoon our knowledge of science, music, geography and sport was tested in a Trivia quiz!
Some questions were a bit difficult (In which sport would you use a ‘sand-iron’?) and others were answered easily (Which classical composer became deaf near the end of his life?). Above all, everyone enjoyed themselves and learnt something new while testing out their English skills!
The winners with an amazing 21 out of 24 correct answers were Floriant, Thomas and Donovan who won a 6-pack of beer. Second prize went to Yuki and Mayumi who won a packet of Tim Tams. 🙂

We have three new starters this week at Lexis Byron Bay. Welcome to Han Yong and Aya, and welcome back to Lisa!
Han Yong and Aya
Aya is from Japan and is one of six in his family, including his sister’s husband and son (who he loves most of all!). He enjoys swimming, listening to music and studying English, and has been studying English over the internet for the past five years. Aya hopes to improve his English so that he can live and work overseas in the future.
Han Yong is from Korea and is one of five in his family, including his dog Bong Gu. He trained as a Boxer during his High School years and now enjoys this as a hobby. He has been working as a Manager of Distribution and Marketing for a food company before coming to Australia. He now hopes to improve his English and get a visa to stay in Australia.
Lisa is from Switzerland and is a returning student. After studying in Byron Bay earlier this year, she has been travelling and doing further study at the Lexis Perth campus. She joins us again to continue improving her English with us at Byron Bay for the next two weeks.
We hope you all enjoy your time in Byron Bay! 🙂

Today was another gorgeous day in Byron Bay, so it was a perfect afternoon to enjoy a walk to the Lighthouse.
It is such an icon of Byron Bay and was complemented by many other Australian icons including wallabies, kookaburras, bush turkeys and dolphins!
Estelle, Yuka, Ayu and I enjoyed the amazing scenery and ocean views.

We have six students graduating from Lexis Byron Bay this week.

Melanie and Priscilla are from France and graduate from Kristy and Kathleen’s Pre-Intermediate class. Melanie has been an active participant in class speaking activities and has been very good at learning new vocabulary and grammar. Priscilla has improved her knowledge of English grammar and was a lovely, interactive student to have in class. They are now planning to hitchhike their way across Australia, including Tasmania, and then travel on to Bali before returning to France. Best of luck to you both!
Shinsuke is from Japan and graduates from Mel and Becky’s Elementary class. He has worked very hard in class and has improved his English a lot over his eleven weeks at Lexis Byron Bay. He is going to continue his English studies at Lexis in Brisbane in the Pre-Intermediate class, and aims to return to Lexis Byron Bay in December at Intermediate level. Good luck with your studies and we look forward to seeing you in December!
Albert is from Spain and graduates from Josie’s Upper Intermediate class. He was a pleasure to have in class, being an active participant in activities and discussions. Albert has developed a great level of English, particularly with his speaking. All the best for the future, Albert!
Lucas is from France and graduates from Claudia’s Intermediate Class. He participated well in class and was an active contributor to class discussions and activities. His communication skills have also improved significantly while studying at Lexis.

Yesterday, Julia’s Cambridge class visited the Byron Bay Farmers Market. They tried lots of local products with very friendly stall holders, which you could see from the happiness of their tastebuds!
They all enjoyed the smoothies, the live music and cultural atmosphere, the fresh produce, the organic vibes and the exotic fruits. Here are a few photos of the local produce and entertainment…

Byron Bay’s first (10429NAT) Certificate IV in TESOL ends tomorrow. So, today, I took the opportunity to catch up with one of our 5, now almost qualified, trainees, Susan.
Why did you decide to do the course?
I’m already a primary school teacher but I wanted to be able to teach overseas. Then I saw the TESOL course was running in Byron Bay and I thought what a great place to study; It’s gorgeous here and I can go to the beach and go swimming when I’m not studying.
How did you feel on your first day?
I was looking forward to it but also worried about how much homework we would have as wanted to enjoy Byron Bay as well as study. Luckily I was able to do about half my work at school, half at home, and still enjoy the beautiful location and weather.
One of the first things you did was observe some Lexis English classes. What was that like?
It felt unreal.I thought it was really nice of them to have us in their classrooms.It was also interesting to see the different teaching styles. I could borrow ideas from the way they structured the lessons their board-work, and how they interacted with the students.
And how did you feel about teaching your first lesson?
Actually, it went well. I had planned very carefully and knew exactly what I was going to say. I remember it was about sports and leisure and I had 5 or 6 students in the class, who were lovely. In a way, I probably put more pressure on myself because I was a teacher, so I had to do a good job, but luckily all my activities went to plan.
And did you feel very different when you taught your last lesson?
All of us improved so much and we understood what we were doing and why. The planning became faster and easier and I found my plans became more efficient.
What were the best things about the course?
Our tutor Anji was excellent. She had to manage five quite extreme personalities and did so with ease. She also brought the material to life and instructed well but at the same time made us work things out for ourselves.
I also enjoyed playing the part of the student when there weren’t many students from outside to participate in the classes and it was always good to observe different classes and the interactions within them.
I learned a lot about how to structure an English lesson and also gained an awareness of the grammar terminology. And one day we did a full IELTS test, which was really interesting.
So what are you going to do next?
Tomorrow, I’m going to visit my mum but then, next week, I’m leaving for Peru. Then my plans are flexible, I’m going to Bolivia, meeting a friend in Cuba and then heading to Mexico to work my way southwards. I might try and do some teaching work while I’m there or I might save that for when I go to South East Asia.
That sounds like a wonderful plan and I’m sure you’ll be able to put your training to good use. Thank you so much for talking to me today, Susan, and good luck.

Byron Bay is such a beautiful place, with stunning beaches and natural vegetation. However, keeping it that way takes an army of volunteers – people who donate their free time to do unpaid work for the community.
Volunteering is an Australian tradition. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics 38% of women and 34% of men did volunteer work in 2010. In fact, Australia ranked in the top three giving nations in the World Giving Index 2011. This index is measured by someone donating money, volunteering time to an organisation or helping someone he/she didn’t know who needed help.
So, if you want to be “more Aussie,” give back to this beautiful town that you currently call home, and have fun mixing with native speakers at the same time, here are a few suggestions for you.
If you want to combine your volunteering with beaches, beer and music then Stone and Wood’s Festival of the Stone is for you. Meet next to Main Beach at 1pm next Saturday (14 May) and spend two hours cleaning up our beautiful coastline before heading to the after party for food, music and $5 beers. What a way to do good and have fun.
If you want to get started this week (7 May), you can join the Suffolk Park Dune Care weeding and planting morning. Meet at 8.30am at the northern end of the Alcorn Street bike track. Training and morning tea are provided. For more information call Helen on 6685 4964.
Perhaps conservation work isn’t your thing? Then Liberation Larder, the charity that collects,cooks and distributes over 450 meals per week to people in need, are looking for volunteers. For more information on what you can do call 0435 879778 or visit www.liberationlarder.org.au.
Or if there is something specific you want to do, come to the office and we’ll try to help you find it or check out the comprehensive list of all the volunteering jobs currently on offer around the Byron at www.volunteer.com.au (just type in Byron Bay).
Happy Volunteering!

“Oh thank you so much {for my results} I’m so happy! I would like to thank you for the organisation of Lexis School. I had a so amazing time there. Everything was just perfect, the lessons, the schedule, our unique teacher Paul. So thank you for that!” Celine, Switzerland, CAE March 16.
Byron Bay’s first (10429NAT) Certificate IV in TESOL ends tomorrow. So, today, I took the opportunity to catch up with one of our 5, now almost qualified, trainees, Susan.
