Welcome to our four General English students joining us Lexis Byron Bay today!
Roberta, from Brazil, has been living in Australia with her husband and two daughters since last December. They chose to stay in Byron because they loves beaches and sunny days!

Guillermo is from Chile. He has just finished his studies in Civil Engineering. He enjoys spending time with his friends, doing sports, drinking beers and travelling around the world! He came to Australia because of his three main goals: improve his English, surf, and meet new people from different countries and cultures!

Yesterday for our Brazilian Cooking activity we made the traditional Brazilian dessert Brigadeiros!
It’s very simple to make; just mix 1 tin of sweetened condensed milk, 15 grams of butter and 3 table spoons of cocoa powder over medium heat until thickened.
Once they the mixture had cooled down we covered our hands in butter (stops it sticking!) and rolled it into balls!
Next we covered the balls in candy sprinkles, granulated nuts, shredded coconut and chocolate sprinkles!
I’ve given up chocolate for the month (5 days to go!!) and this was by far the hardest day! Everyone else was able to enjoy them though and said they were delicious!

We recently had three wonderful TAP students here with us at Lexis Byron!
The Teen Activity Programme combines English classes with surf lessons, so they really get the best out of their Byron experience!
Before they left the boys kindly answered a few questions for us…
What’s the best thing about Lexis Byron?
Sacha: I liked that it’s a small campus, so everyone knows eachother. It’s really easy to talk to people and make new friends.
Theo: It was a really good combination of study, surf and free time! I also really loved my homestay.
Alex: Improving my English! I also really enjoyed the table tennis (Alex came a close second in our July Tournament!).
Tell me a bit about your teacher and lessons…
Sacha: All the teachers are really nice. They encourage you to participate and mingle with other students. We played lots of really good games that got us to mix together and get to know eachother.
Theo: I loved my teachers, Paul and Michelle. We would always do activities in class that would get us interacting and speaking with other students.
Alex: My teacher Claudia was very useful and interesting, because of her lessons I am sure I have improved my English.
How were your surf lessons and instructors?
Sacha: Really good! Because Theo and I already knew how to surf Let’s Go Surfing gave us private lessons instead of us having to go with the group. They would always take us to where the good waves were, they really knew the best spots each day. They were very kind, friendly, fun and gave good advice. We often had dolphins really close to us when we were surfing, which was an amazing experience.
Theo: Great! The instructors were really good and helped us improve. They always checked where the best waves were first and took us to so many different surf spots over the 4 weeks; Broken Head, Suffolk Park, The Pass, The Wreck, Belongil and Lennox!
Alex: My surf lessons were awesome, even though the waves weren’t really big every day. Dylan and the other instructors do an amazing job.
Did you enjoy your homestay experience?
Sacha: Yes, they made me feel welcome and gave me good advice on Byron (Sacha’s homestay father Mark even took him to see how surfboards are made!). I felt well looked after but sometimes wished I was with a family with another teenager, like Theo was.
Theo: I loved it! My host family had 2 boys similar age to me (14 and 17) so I spent every evening with them. They were also the same surfing level as me so we would go out surfing together.
Alex: Awesome! What a family! The Monrows are the nicest people I have met here.
What was your favourite thing to do in Byron when you weren’t studying or surfing?
Sacha: Finding good places to eat; there’s lots of reasonably priced places for food. There’s also lots of shops! The lighthouse is really nice, we saw a wallaby there; I always appreciated these moments.
Theo: Hang out with my host family.
Alex: Ride my bicycle in town, or to the top of Byron to see the view, and sometimes do some shopping.
What would you say to someone who was thinking about coming to Byron to study?
Sacha: Go and do it! It’s a really good experience. It’s a small town so makes a change from being in the city. All the people are really kind. There’s good food and surf to enjoy!
Theo: It’s a really good school for surfing and studying. Byron is a great location for trying out lots of different surf spots.
Alex: Everyone has to do what they want to do! Byron is best for surfing, but studying at Lexis was still very useful!

Miyu, from Japan, joined us at Lexis Byron back in October last year. She started in our Pre-Intermediate class but after completing our Cambridge First Course with much-loved teacher Paul she finished at an Upper Intermediate level. It has been a joy having her here at Lexis. She has been a kind, respectful, hardworking student who has made lots of friends during her time in Byron. Her teachers all say she was a pleasure to teach and I have loved getting to know her during the activities and her visits to reception!
Before she left Byron she kindly answered some questions for us…
Why did you choose Byron Bay for your studies?
I came to Byron because it is very different to my experience of living in a big city in Japan (Miyu lives in Kobe). I was really excited to try something new and experience a different way of life. I wanted to be able to live my life my way without any expectations.
Why were you wanting to improve your English?
I had always wanted to study English, but the Japanese education system doesn’t put much emphasis on teaching it. I decided to come here and study so I could have an adventure at the same time as improving my English! I know having a higher level of English will help me find work and will also help me with travelling.
What’s the best thing about Byron?
The people! The people are all so nice. I have been working as a massage therapist here and everyone is very friendly. Any time I’ve ever needed help there has always been someone happy to help me. I also love the nature in Byron and the amazing beauty of the ocean!
What’s your advice for anyone coming to study English abroad?
Don’t hang out with students from your nationality. Always try to speak English. I don’t have any Japanese friends here because I wanted to speak as much English as possible. I made mostly Spanish, Brazilian and Australian friends. I’m even travelling to Spain when I leave Australia so I can meet up with the Spanish friends I made at Lexis!
With her Lexis friends!
Tell us about your experience at Lexis…
Lexis was amazing! I really appreciate coming here and all the help I got from everyone. The teachers are always helping and finding creative ways for you to improve your English. I loved all of my teachers. They were all fun and really caring. The admin staff are all super friendly and always there for you. My English has improved so much. I started in Pre-intermediate and finished at an Upper-intermediate level.
With her Cambridge First Class
Her last day at Lexis!
What are your recommendations for anyone coming to study at Lexis?
Get involved in the free activities! I loved all the activities at Lexis; it was great to having them every day and encouraging students from different classes/levels to all communicate together. I really enjoyed the activities with students from other schools, like the soccer competition, as they were really useful for meeting new people.
Also, stick to the English ONLY Policy! I really loved this rule because it helped me make a lot of international friends. It was really hard at the beginning but after a while it became natural and I feel I really benefited from it. I made many friends in my time at Lexis and am really grateful for that <3
