    - we set the tea cups and mugs on the table
    - we arrange the different flavours of tea and coffee

It’s a safe and fun environment to practice your English skills and to meet new people 🙂

Coffee Club ☕ December 9th

Posted on December 9, 2019 by Lexis | Byron Bay

Recently we’ve introduced Coffee Club on a Monday afternoon at Lexis Byron Bay! ☕

Or in Christian’s case today, ‘tea time’. He even had his little pinky finger out for the occasion 😋

Fabian joined in with a coffee.

And Eglantine had a mocha for the first time with us. She doesn’t usually like coffee, though this one was okay because it had chocolate in it too! 🍫

The game of choice today was Jenga with the questions on each piece.

There were fiery conversations about some of the topics that came up! Examples that stirred debate we’re about politics and the death penalty. However, it was nicer to speak about trivial subject matters like our dream holiday destination or our favourite flavours of ice-cream! 🍦

Join us tomorrow morning at 11.30am for Coffee Club!

You get interesting and loud house rules!

Coffee Club ☕ November 12th

Posted on November 12, 2019 by Lexis | Byron Bay

Nearing the beginning of Summer, it’s a hot start to the morning for our Coffee Club here at Lexis Byron Bay! ☕

Discussions were had about the fires surrounding Byron Bay and NSW, and just how hot it is already even though it’s still Spring! This naturally led to conversations about how it’s currently Autumn/ Fall in the Northern Hemisphere where many of the students are from.

Inbetween topics of conversations Tim-Tams were had! They were good even once they started to melt 😋

Thanks for coming along and sharing your weekend stories 😊 Hope to see you next week for Coffee Club!

Coffee Club ☕ November 5th

Posted on November 5, 2019 by Lexis | Byron Bay

On Tuesdays we have Coffee Club at Lexis Byron Bay!

We decided not to play Uno this week because it was so windy outside and we thought that the cards might blow away 🃏🌪️

Though Tim-Tams and hot tea went down a treat!

Join us next week when hopefully the weather is better 🙂

Coffee Club! August 6th

Posted on August 8, 2019 by Lexis | Byron Bay

Coffee Club is always the highlight of my week! We have been lucky enough to have some stunning winter days in Byron Bay lately. This Tuesday was no exception!

We played a hilarious game of Uno on the grass before getting too hot in the sun and deciding to move under the shade to play a game of Jenga also.

Make sure you come along and join the fun, every Tuesday afternoon at 2pm in the student garden. I’ll bring the Tim Tams! See you there 😀

Coffee Club! 4th June

Posted on June 5, 2019 by Lexis | Byron Bay

It was a chilly Tuesday afternoon for Coffee Club yesterday, but lucky for us, we were still able to sit in the student garden and make the most of the sunshine!

However, we did have to move our mat a couple of times as the sun disappeared behind the trees, but it was good to get up and stretch our legs after each incredibly long game of uno 🙂

We played around 4 games in total, each one finishing in a battle to the end. It was hilarious to watch play out. At the end of each game Luc had a new suggestion for a rule that kept the games very interesting. Thanks Luc 🙂

See you all again next Tuesday for more fun and of course tim-tams!

Hiroshima Juniors final Coffee Club! (and announcement of Scavenger Hunt winner) -March 29th

Posted on March 29, 2019 by Lexis | Byron Bay

Today we had our final Coffee Club for our Hiroshima Juniors group! We had our usual favourites – delicious coffees and TimTams, as well as a very fun game of Uno. We all chatted about what everyone did yesterday evening and took the time to reflect on their two-week trip so far. Everyone agreed that they would like more time here at Lexis Byron Bay as they are enjoying it so much!

We also announced the winner of our recent Scavenger Hunt photography challenge – it was the amazing group Yoga shot, taken by Kanon. Well done Kanon! 😀 See her winning shot below and her accepting her prize – TimTams! 😀

Coffee Club! 26th March

Posted on March 26, 2019 by Lexis | Byron Bay

We gathered this afternoon for our last coffee club of the month. It was the perfect warm afternoon to sit under the shelter downstairs as it began to rain.

Today we played a few rather intense games of Jenga and had a laugh at all the questions printed on the blocks. It was a fun way to get to know each other and prompted some very funny stories 🙂

We also attempted to do a ‘TIM TAM SLAM’.. unfortunately it didn’t go so well.. But that’s okay, it was still delicious!

To do a professional Tim Tam Slam, we realised, requires a refrigerated Tim Tam. First you need to (gently) bite off each end of the biscuit. Keeping the biscuit intact you then use the Tim Tam like a straw to drink your coffee or tea. Today the biscuits were too melted. We will try again next week!

Come and join us every Tuesday at 2pm for Coffee Club (Tim Tam club) downstairs in the student lounge. Hope to see you there!

Hiroshima Juniors Coffee Club! March 20th

Posted on March 21, 2019 by Lexis | Byron Bay

Yesterday, we held coffee club in the morning especially for our Hiroshima Juniors group! We all met outside the student lounge downstairs at 9.00am and enjoyed some delicious coffees and TimTams 🙂

Learning how to say ‘cheers’ 😀

We all chatted together and got to know each other a little better. We spoke about where we are from and what it is like there. I learned that Hiroshima is great for oysters and lemon trees, with lemon cake being a favourite way to use the lemons!

I learned about everyone’s school life and what they like/don’t like in school. Everyone has different hobbies, interests and aspirations, which is very interesting to chat about together. Some students are sporty, playing tennis (with a hard ball, something I just learned about yesterday!) and football, while others are musical and enjoy piano and trombone!

We were so engrossed in our chats and getting to know eachother that we forgot to play any of our games! Next week, we will! 😉

Until next time…
