Today our Happy Student at Lexis Byron Bay is Amin!
Tell us a little about yourself Amin: I am from Switerland and I live in Zuerich. I worked as a software engineer for the Swiss television. I decided to go to Byron Bay because I heard many good things about it and thought it would be a nice start for my trip. I stayed in Byron for six weeks.
Why did you choose Byron Bay? I chose Byron Bay because I heard good things about it. I had a friend come here maybe six years ago and told me about it. So I did my research and I decided that it had the right mood for me.
What were your weaknesses in English before you came to Australia? Tell me more about your teachers and your classes. I think my weaknessess… I think grammar… and the speaking and the fluency.
I was with Claudia as my teacher, and I think the class was the right fit for me. It was my right level. And I liked the class because there were people there from other nationalities. I also liked the activties that we did in the class like the markets, having coffee and Secret Santa… yeah, it was fun.
What was your favourite activity? I liked the Beer Testing! Haha, that was fun! But I did like the Coffee Club too. You know, it was nice to play games and get to know other people and get to know them better.
Tell me about your accommodation/homestay… I stayed at the accommodation downstairs (onsite) and I liked it. The room is good, it has nice people and a good kitchen to cook meals in. I really liked the communal tables- there were always people to be with if you wanted! Yeah, I really enjoyed it 🙂
What are your favourite things to do in Byron? Surfing! I only started surfing here and I like it! I first had lessons through the school… maybe four lessons, then I bought a board and have met some friends and go surfing with them everyday! I might have to resell the board when I leave, but if I can fit it in my car I will take it on my travels with me in Australia!
I also really like the nightlife and the mood here in Byron Bay. Like the muscians and the buskers. It’s just nice to be out at night.
What is your most magical moment in Byron? Oh, this is a tough one… so many… I suppose, I think surfing at sunset at Tallows Beach. We saw dolphins and then they were swimming past us… yes, this was the most magical moment.
What did you like the most about Lexis Byron? I like the people here. The students and the employees. The people are really helpful. Whenever I had a question I would go to reception and they would help me straight away. Also the mood for a school is good.
What is your advice for people who are thinking about enrolling at Lexis Byron Bay? My advice… stay at the accomodation onsite because it is close to the school and you get to meet more people! But then I guess it depends on the person… I also suggest to plan a trip early, but also at the same time to be spontaneous too.

He was the instigator that lured others to join in!

Thankfully their teacher was understanding and for a few short minutes used this time as part of a lesson!
Today didn’t turn out as expected, nevertheless we still had fun!

Have you ever stopped to wonder why we do certain Christmas Traditions? Did you know that Cookie decoratingdates back to at least the 14th century in Switzerland? Springerle cookie molds were carved from wood and used to impress Biblical designs into cookies. One of the earliest recorded forms of cookie decorating is the springerle, and the oldest known springerle mold is housed at the Swiss national museum in Zurich, Switzerland.
The artistic element of cookie making also can be traced back to Medieval Germany.
Lebkuchen was crafted into fancy shapes and decorated with sugar. Lebkuchen is a traditional German baked Christmas cookie, somewhat resembling gingerbread.
During the 17th century, Dutch and German settlers introduced cookie cutters, decorative molds, and festive holiday cookie decorations to the United States.
Today cookie decorating traditions continue in many places in the world and include such activities as cookie decorating parties, competitions, creating cookie bouquets and cookie gift baskets, and simply decorating cookies with others can be a fun activity.
Join us at Lexis Byron Bay this Thursday the 11th of December at 11.30am or 2pm for our own version of Christmas Cookie Decorating!
Make sure to sign up at reception!

Christmas in Byron Bay can be hard for students to get their head around.
It’s been said around the campus “but it doesn’t feel like Christmas! It’s too hot!” or similarly “there’s no snow, and not many people have lights up!”
For a few of the students from colder climates in the Northern Hemisphere the idea of no snow, or a hot Christmas is unheard of!
Much like everything else, Aussie’s just do Christmas differently.
For Christmas lunch or dinner many will have a traditional roast, though additionally the barbie will be fired up! Prawns are very popular to have in the Summer time. It’s also not uncommen to find the men around the BBQ, women in the kitchen getting everything else ready, and chilren playing under a sprinkler or swimming in a pool.
And for dessert we have pavlova with fruit on top. Sometimes in the shape of a Christmas Wreath. Christmas Pudding will still be feautured, though because it is Summer the fruits are a favoured choice.
Then in the afternoon if you’re not napping and sleeping off your Christmas lunch, you might play a game of beach/ backyard cricket! It might be children vs. adults, cousins vs. ‘the other’ cousins, or boys vs. girls. It’s all about having fun, being silly and not taking it all too seriously.
It can be an unusual adjustment, though Christmas in Australia can still be enjoyed! Spend time with friends, and create your own traditions. Swim at the beach, play cricket in the backyard, and revel in the fact that you’re in a t-shirt! Make memories that will last that can be shared back home and one day you can say “I had a Christmas at the beach one year!”

A diverse orchard of fruit trees, where the chickens roam. A range of growing areas growing a huge range of seasonal produce including sprouts, lettuces, kale, onions, garlic, zucchini, eggplant, bananas etc. all interwoven in a poly culture farm.

Elixiba Restaurant and Bar has quickly become a hot destination on the Byron Bay foodie scene. In the past four years, we have won numerous awards and been recognised time and again for our ingenuity and “ahead of the curve” way of doing things.
Located in central Byron Bay, our beautiful venue holds an unmatched opportunity for the right candidate:
We don’t usually like to brag, but have no qualms doing so when it comes to our staff: we really do have the best team ever. The only thing missing is a talented, passionate cook or chef who is looking to step into a kitchen manager role.
What we offer:
38 hours a week, with no unpaid overtime expected
A great, positive work environment. Our team is hard working and respectful, holds a no-bullying policy, and unflinchingly supports one another through everything.
Work/lifestyle balance! We believe that staff members work the best when they are not being overworked and undervalued. At least two days off in a row each week, and a flexible roster.
Career progression and professional development. Our current kitchen management team holds a combined twenty years of cooking experience, so there is a lot to learn from us. We are one of the only restaurants in Australia with a focus on plant based, allergen friendly, sustainable cooking (and as anyone who has had a meal with us will tell you, our food is anything but boring). With plans to expand in the future, this role has a strong potential to lead to a head chef position in the future.
The right candidate’s profile would be…
Experience in a similar role (2 years preferred)
Cheffing qualification a bonus, but not required if you have adequate cooking experience
Ability to co-lead our kitchen team and serve as a role model for our staff
Love for healthy living and a respect for the plant based diet
Hunger for learning
Able to work nights and hold energy levels (3-5 a week, almost always out by 10PM) as well as available on weekends.
Respectful, calm, kind individual (we don’t have time for disrespect, unnecessary stress-outs or negativity)
Wants to stay with the company long term (must commit to at least one year)
This opportunity is almost unheard of in the cooking world, so we’re expecting to hire someone who’s equally amazing! Someone with ridiculous talent, work ethic and goals! If that’s you, then what are you waiting for?

World Paper Free Day is an annual campaign that aims to reduce the amount of paper generated by people in their everyday work and personal life. Businesses and people are encouraged to stop using paper for the whole day in order to stop them being so reliant on it!
This means that we will be turning the photocopier and printers off for the day.
We already recycle papers and recycle folders, though there is always more we can do 😉
Other ways you can go paperless and be an eco warrior:
