For the last day of school before the Christmas break the staff here at Lexis Byron Bay put on a special treat for our students…
A pantomime based on Cinderella but with a Byron Bay twist!!!
Our talented teacher Anji wrote a brilliant script and each of the teachers and Lexis staff members had a role!
I think all will agree Anji and Adrienne were hilarious as the ugly sisters, and Kathleen was nothing short of amazing in her role as Madonna!
Everyone did a great job playing their parts and getting into their roles; who knew we had a team of such incredible actresses?!
After the pantomime we had our traditional food fair, where we had encouraged the students to bring in party food from their home country to share with their Lexis classmates and staff!
Kathleen’s class made tasty sushi and we had a variety of delicious sweet snacks, including Toblerone mousse from Switzerland and Brigadeiro from Brazil!
To finish the day we had a Christmas trivia with prizes to be won!
Merce came first, winning her a free surf lesson with Let’s Go Surfing! Second place won a six pack of beer and third place some yummy biscuits!

On Wednesday we made delicious edible mini Santas!
We started by using a mini Oreo for the biscuit base then followed the below recipe to make mini cheesecakes:
Use an electric beater to beat the cream cheese (250g), caster sugar (1/2 cup), vanilla essence (1 teaspoon) and lemon juice (1 tablespoon) until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time.
Divide the cream cheese mixture amongst the muffin cups, pouring it or spooning it over each mini Oreo.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until slightly risen and just beginning to crack on the surface.
Cool completely on a wire rack and refrigerate while you make the toppings.
We then put a generous amount of whipped cream on each one, followed by a strawberry (with the top cut off) and another small blob of cream on the top; which became the fur trim, hat and bobble!
They tasted even more delicious then they looked!! Oreos, Cheesecake, Strawberries and Cream – what’s not to love?! Plus they looked super cute 🙂

There’s not many advertised online this week, but you CAN still find a job!!
I would recommend dropping your resumes off in town and then going back again a couple of days later. The bars, restaurants and shops get lots of people dropping off resumes in the summer, so you need to stay determined and keep going back so when they do need someone new it’s your name they remember!
If you need any help with your resumes you can go along to GIL; everyday at 12pm and 2pm – in room 8 every day, except room 7 on a Monday!
Come and see me at reception if you have any questions or need resumes printed 🙂
GOOD LUCK!!
