Congratulations and farewell to our four students who graduated Lexis Byron Bay last Friday!
Meret, from Switzerland, graduates from Josie’s CAE class. She has an excellent level of English and we are sure will do very well in her Cambridge exam when she chooses to take it! Josie loved having her as part of the class and she will be missed by all her classmates! Enjoy your travels Meret!
Nao, from Japan, graduates from Kristy’s Elementary class. She is a quick learner and hard worker, which resulted in her graduating with a well deserved A! Kristy really enjoyed having her in class and appreciated all of her contributions. We hope you continue to use your English on your travels around Australia and have an amazing time!
Alfredo, from Spain, graduates from Claudia’s Upper Intermediate class. It has been an absolute joy having him here at Lexis Byron over 6 months and he will be greatly missed! He worked hard and participated enthusiastically in all activities. He brought humour and lively contributions to class and was always good to have a conversation with. Alfredo, you should be very proud of all the progress you’ve made, quickly moving up from Elementary to Upper! Good luck for the future and hopefully see you again one day!
Amanda, from Brazil, graduates from Claudia’s Upper Intermediate class. She is an extremely friendly, courteous and positive student who we have loved having at Lexis for the past 20 weeks! Her English is at an exceptional level after completing our Cambridge course and she graduates at an Advanced level with a grade A! Well done Amanda, we are sure you will go on to do great things! Wishing you the very best, it was a pleasure to have got to know you!

Welcome to our one new starter joining us today at Lexis Byron Bay!
Fabio is from the German speaking part of Switzerland. He loves all sports, particularly football and tennis. Living in the Alps he also loves skiing and hiking in the mountains. He has completed his apprenticeship as a draughtsman, but when he returns to Switzerland he would like to focus on his main goal of becoming a teacher. In the future he would like to teach English so this is his main reason for being with us here at Lexis Byron, the second reason being that he wants to improve his surfing!

There was free lunch for all, with vegetarian and vegan options also available.
We managed to just miss the rain and enjoy our food with some sunshine!

Last Thursday we had our third successful Sweet Exchange!
This time our chosen charity was Positive Change for Marine Life. Based in Byron Bay, they have projects in various countries aimed at protecting our oceans and marine life.
We felt this was the perfect charity for us to raise awareness and money for! Everyone here at Lexis Byron loves the ocean, it is one of the main reasons our students pick Byron for their studies, so it’s really important that we are all aware of the impact we are having on it and small changes we can make to stop this.
One of PCFML’s volunteers, Louisa, kindly came in to educate us on all the great things the charity is working on and letting us know what we can do to help.
On Thursday all of our students and staff were encouraged to bake or buy something sweet to bring in and share with their school friends and teachers!
All the food was then set up in one of our classrooms ready for break time! Everyone had to donate a minimum of one gold coin ($1 or $2) and could then help themselves to as much cake, biscuits and chocolate as they could eat!
Judit, one of our lovely students who is very passionate about helping our planet, put some facts on the board detailing the effect us using plastic bags and straws can have on the ocean, and little changes we can do to prevent this.
We had a excellent variety of food brought in, including muffins, banana bread, Tim Tams, vegan brownies, bannoffee pie, cookies, caramel cake bars, shortbread, brigadeiro and a fruit platter!
Thank you to everyone who brought something in and everyone who donated, we have raised…
$158.70 to help the oceans!
If you would like to know more about Positive Change for Marine Life, volunteer or donate more follow this link: https://pcfml.org.au/
They arrange a fortnightly beach clean in Byron you can get involved in, and in the near future we are looking to arrange our own Lexis beach clean!

Last Friday we finished our week off with Wine Tasting!
We had 6 different wines to try; 2 Whites – Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, a Rose, a sweet Pink Moscato and 2 Reds – Shiraz and Merlot.
After trying each one the students had to guess the flavours and alcohol percentage.
The Pink Moscato was most people’s favourite until they found out it was only was 5%!

A few weeks ago Oscar Ramon Jorquera won a free skydive (donated by Happy Travels) in the Lexis photography competition. So on April 8, Oscar, along with 5 other brave students soared up 4,570 metres in the sky and jumped out of a plane.
If you’re wondering what that would be like; here are some photos of the day. (Thanks to Gabriella and Ana for sharing them with us.)
