Check out all the awesome activities BWT has planned for our Lexis students in October!!! There are some great deals on must-do activities this month. See Matt in the Student Lounge every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at lunchtime, or in store at BWT to book all your adventures!
~
Next week is the start of OCTOBER and we have an exciting month of activities planned in the mornings and afternoons especially for our Lexis students!
Every Monday you can stretch out and relax doing Yoga with Stef in the garden from 11-12 and with Fee in Room 8 from 2:15 to 3:15. Don’t forget that the 3rd of October is a Public Holiday, so there will be no school next Monday!
On Tuesdays we have Coffee Lounge, which gives our students the opportunity to practice their English and get to know each other while enjoying great coffee and yummy TimTams!
On Wednesdays we will start the month with a Table Tennis Tournament to find this month’s Lexis Champion. I have noticed a lot of students using the new table, practicing for the next tournament so there is sure to be some good competition! The following week we have Flavio coming by at 11am to teach us how to Skateboard and Chloe will be here at 2pm to run a Mindfulness meditation for our students. Later in the month we are getting into the kitchen to do some Thai Cooking, exploring the delicious flavours of Thailand while making a traditional Green Curry. Then to finish off the month we have Pizza and Pictionary in the morning, which will be a fun way to learn some new English words and phrases, and in the afternoon we can get creative while learning about Aboriginal Australian culture at Boomerang Painting.
Every second Thursday we have the very popular 1-hour Surf Lesson with the team at Lets Go Surfing. These lessons are only $20 and are a great way to give surfing a try before booking more lessons to help you become a real Byron Surfer! Alternating with this, we have Job Club for those students looking for work in Byron Bay and wanting extra help with writing their resume, preparing for interviews and applying for jobs.
On Fridays we will celebrate the first week of the course book next week with a Start of Course BBQ in the front garden, both in the morning and afternoon. For the rest of the month we are getting active, with Volleyball and Soccer on different days (in the garden for the morning session and at the beach for the afternoon), and a morning session of Slacklining in the garden with Olmo and a Bike Ride to Tallows Beach in the afternoon.
GIL (Guided Individual Learning) runs every day from 12-1pm and 2-3pm in Room 8. Come along to get help with anything from homework to vocabulary to writing your resume.
We will also continue to enjoy our Student Nights at Cheeky Monkeys every Tuesday night – meet at BWT @ 8pm first to get your drinks, food and fun!
Don’t forget that you can book your 3-hour surf lessons with us anytime at Reception for just $50!
Have a great month!

Today we held two sessions of Coffee Lounge at Lexis Byron Bay.
At the morning session, we played a very exciting round of Lexis Jenga, building one of the biggest towers I have seen!
The students with the impressive tower shortly before it came tumbling down!
The students answered the questions on each brick they pulled from the tower and learnt many new words and phrases along the way, such as ‘advice‘, ‘regret‘, and ‘speeding ticket‘.
As the tower grew taller and taller, each turn became more difficult. The tower wobbled and threatened to fall many times, and nobody wanted to be the one who made it fall!
Eventually, after almost reaching the limit of how tall a Jenga tower can grow, it came crashing down onto the table. The students celebrated with TimTams!
…
In the afternoon, we enjoyed the beautiful, sunny weather and sat out in the garden. The students chatted amongst themselves and as a group, learning about each other’s culture and their experiences in Australia. Having students from Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, Brazil, Korea and Japan, there was a lot to share! We learnt that students in Korea study from 7am until 9pm, which shocked everyone at the table! We also discussed the different accents in Australia and other English-speaking countries, the difficulties with getting Student Visas for Australia, and showed the newcomers how to enjoy your coffee by drinking it with a TimTam straw!
The students enjoyed their coffee in the sunshine!

He enjoys listening to music, experiencing local cultures and being in nature.

Astrid is from Belgium and is staying in Australia for the next three months. She completed high school in June and is now taking a gap year to learn English, travel, experience different lifestyles and push the boundaries of her comfort zone. She also hopes to figure out what she wants to study at University next year; regardless of what course she chooses, she wants to study in English which is why she is here!

We have two students graduating from Lexis Byron Bay this week.
Emiko with her teacher and classmates
Emiko is from Japan and graduates from Claudia’s Upper Intermediate class. She started in Pre-Intermediate and, over the 24 weeks she has spent here at Lexis Byron Bay, has worked her way up to the Upper Intermediate class. She has been a dedicated and hard-working student, improving her English skills and gaining confidence in speaking both in class and out. Emiko has made great friends during her time here and will be missed by staff and students alike! She is now off to travel through Cambodia and Vietnam before returning home to Japan. When she gets home, she plans to work and save up to come back to Australia, to travel to Uluru, Cairns and Tasmania. We look forward to seeing you again in Australia some day Emiko!
Anina with her teacher and classmates
Anina is from Switzerland and graduates from Kristy’s Pre-Intermediate class. She has been studying at Lexis for just three weeks but has made great progress in that time.

We wish you all the best for the future Anina!

Today we had Olmo from Slackline Byron Bay Balance Revolution came by to teach our students how to slackline!
Before getting onto the slackline, we warmed up the muscles we were about to use by doing some stretching and did some balance exercises to focus and calm our minds.
Then it was time to try to slackline! Olmo had a helping hand nearby and gave lots of great advice to help each student find their balance and walk along the slackline.
Everyone had fun trying to balance along the line and are looking forward to improving more at the next slacklining session!
~
This afternoon we had a Trivia quiz to test our knowledge in the categories of Science, Geography, Music and Sport.
The students were faced with questions such as “In which sport would you use a ‘sand iron’?” (golf), “Which rock group did George Harrison belong to?” (The Beatles), “Who developed the theory of relativity?” (Albert Einstein) and “What is the capital city of New Zealand?” (Wellington).
Everyone brought different strengths to their team, with some students being more knowledgeable about Science and others about Sports. There was much discussion about the right answer for each question and, when they knew the answer in their own language, figuring out the correct English word for it!
The winning team was Shinsuke and Roman, who argued about almost every answer! Well done to them for working out who had the correct answer for each question! Enjoy the beers 🙂

Samira and Katharina got a great deal when booking their trip to Fraser Island for the upcoming long weekend and another group booked a trip to Surfer’s Paradise for this weekend.
Other students looked further into the future to when they finish their studies at Lexis Byron Bay. They booked full itineraries of travel around Australia, up to Cairns, down the east coast of Australia to Sydney and Melbourne, to Tasmania and to the Red Centre, just to name a few.
Patrick with BWT travel agent Matt

Today at Coffee Lounge we soaked up the sunshine out in the Garden.
As always, the students enjoyed their TimTams – the packets were empty in no time at all! We also had great conversation, giving students from different parts of the world and from different levels the chance to practice both listening and speaking English.
Through talking with each other, we were able to get to know one another better and learn a few things about different countries in the world. For example, we discovered that Noori was involved in a peaceful protest against the rising University fees in Korea, Yuri had a near-death experience after eating day-old chicken, and, if she could replay a moment in her life, Priscilla would skydive for the first time all over again!
Enjoy the warm weather and sunshine Byron Bay! 🙂

Welcome to the six new starters at Lexis Byron Bay this week!
Clara is from Switzerland and is in Australia for a few months of her gap year between finishing high school and starting university. She has always liked soccer, and played it from the time she was a young girl. She even played in the national team for two years, which also helped her improve her German and French skills. In recent years she has given up playing soccer to focus on her school and when she returns to Switzerland she will then move to Berlin to continue improving her German. She plans to spend 6 weeks with us here in Byron Bay and another 6 weeks at the Gold Coast before returning home. She has always dreamed of visiting Australia and is very excited to study English here!
Pauline is from Belgium and has a brother and half-sister. She likes sports, such as going to the gym, skiing and handball. She has just finished high school and, when she returns to Belgium, plans to study at university. She is thinking about becoming an airline Pilot. She came to Australia to study English because she has dreamed of coming here since she was 14. She believes it is the perfect destination, as you can travel and learn English at the same time, while making lots of friends from all over the world. After her studies with Lexis Byron Bay, she plans to work and travel before returning home.
Lucile is from Belgium and lives in the capital of the country, Brussels. She loves to dance and has been practicing everyday for the past four years. Last year she was accepted into a dance company by a choreographer, which she is very excited about! She also loves to travel and visited California in the USA last year with her mother. She has just finished high school where she studied languages (French, German and English) and economics. She came to Australia because she has only ever heard positive things about this country and has always wanted to see it. In the future she wants to become a teacher.
Anna is from Germany and lives in Berlin with her mother. She is a passionate cook and photographer, and also enjoys fashion and culture. She came to Australia to get to know the culture here. She had also heard a lot of good things about the country from her friends and wanted a “seachange”, from the city to the beach, so decided that Australia was the best place for her to learn English. In the future, she plans to study Psychology at university.
Lucia is from Slovakia and is one of five in her family with her parents, sister and brother, plus a dog called Bambi. She likes swimming and cycling. She studied Finance and Investment at university and has worked as a Manager and Interpreter for a local company which conducts business in France. She has been speaking French for five years and is now in Australia to improve her English skills to enhance her job prospects when she returns home. She hopes to speak fluently in English so that she can obtain work as a lifeguard in Australia. She also looks forward to relaxing and having fun during her time here.
Lear is from Spain and is one of four in his family, including his mother, father and younger brother. He works as a chef and cooking is his passion. He also enjoys music, particularly old school rock and roll, and motorcycles, especially Harley Davidson motorbikes. He came to Australia to improve his English and to explore different types of products and flavours to use in his own cooking back home. One day, he hopes to open his own restaurant or to teach others how to be a good, hardworking chef.

This afternoon we enjoyed the wonderful Spring weather in Byron Bay with a game of Cricket at the beach!
This is a favourite past time for many Australians, and the students enjoyed learning the game today too.

This week we have five students graduating from Lexis Byron Bay.
Aline is from Brazil and graduates from Claudia’s Upper Intermediate class. She has been a hard-working, conscientious student who was a pleasure to teach. She has a keen interest in learning which has helped her to make great improvements with her English skills during her time at Lexis Byron Bay. She now plans to travel the east coast of Australia, driving from Byron Bay to Melbourne, before heading back to Brazil where she would like to continue her English studies. We hope you enjoy exploring Australia by car!
Aline with her teacher and classmates
Denise is from Brazil and graduates from David and Isaac’s Pre-Intermediate class. Over the past four weeks, she has shown confidence in her speaking and has developed her English grammar knowledge very nicely. She works very well with her classmates and has shown great commitment to her studies while at Lexis Byron Bay. We wish you all the best for the future!
Denise with her classmates
Momo is from Japan and graduates from Kathleen’s Intermediate class. She has been a lovely student who has made great friends both in and outside of the classroom. During her six weeks at Lexis Byron Bay, she gained confidence and increased her fluency while speaking. She communicates effectively with people from different cultures and levels of English and has worked very hard, achieving an A grade for her effort. She is now off to work on a strawberry farm and hopes to do some travel in Australia before returning to Japan. All the best for the rest of your time in Australia and beyond!
Momo with her teacher and classmates
Natsumi is from Japan and graduates from Kristy’s Pre-Intermediate class. She has been with us at Lexis Byron Bay for just four weeks but has increased her confidence in speaking and shown strong grammar skills in this time. She is a friendly, polite and kind student who has worked well with her classmates. We wish you all the best for the future!
Natsumi with her teacher and classmates
Rodrigo is from Spain and graduates from Mel and Becky’s Elementary class. He has worked hard and made great progress with his English in his time at Lexis Byron Bay. He participated well in class activities and was very welcoming to new students joining his class. He is now working in Byron Bay and plans to enjoy the Summer months here before returning to his studies. We look forward to welcoming him back to Lexis in 2017!

It is a beautiful day in Byron Bay and we are making the most of it here at Lexis Byron Bat! This morning eight students and myself headed down to The Wreck for a surf lesson with the team at Let’s Go Surfing!
We had two awesome instructors, Blake and Johnny, teaching us how to surf. We were split into two groups – five who had never surfed before, and four of us who had done it once or twice in the past.
After getting kitted out with our wetsuits and surfboards, we first learnt a few of the basic skills about surfing while still on the beach. We learnt not only how to paddle and stand up on the board, but also about how to spot the best part of the beach to surf at and identifying rips.
The surf was a little rough but still small enough for us as beginners to feel confident in the water. We each caught wave after wave, putting what we had learnt on the beach into practice and eventually standing up!
A few of the students seemed to be naturals at surfing, and were standing up and riding the waves in no time at all. During just one hour in the water, they were able to keep improving and refining their skills to become more confident with their surfing.
Everyone managed to stand up at least once or twice by the end of the lesson and there was a smile on every student’s face the whole time!

Today we held two Coffee Lounge sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
The morning students enjoyed the challenge of Lexis Jenga, building a tall and precarious tower and answering the questions on each piece.
Through these questions, we discovered that Barbara has been to fourteen different countries, that Julie sings in the shower and that Yuri would travel the world if she won a billion dollars.
The afternoon students had fun with a game of Aussie Heads while enjoying their coffee and TimTams, with everyone taking turns asking YES or NO questions to figure out what the card on their forehead was.
Each student did really well, deducing what their card was with minimal hints, but Samira gets a special mention for figuring out that she was the Aussie Dollar so quickly, which is a notoriously difficult one to guess!

Today our students learnt about Aboriginal Australian art and boomerangs.
They got creative and, using some examples of authentic Aboriginal art, painted their own boomerangs in beautiful designs.
It was a great chance to chat with each other and get to know the other students, while enjoying a creative and meditative hour of painting!

There are two Cambridge CAE classes that started this week at Lexis Byron Bay. Find out more about the students in Ellie’s CAE class in the beautiful poems below!
Andrea (by Robin)
Andrea is at first sight a deep sleeper
But he’s not lazy, he’s a footballer
In Australia, snakes and sharks are his only fear
To forget them, his has to drown in beer
A good hangout is always good
It makes him happy and in a nice mood.
Caroline (by Pascal)
Tattoed jewellery on her skin
Shows the expression of herself
In the shower, she will sing
Like nobody else.
She’ll find her future husband here, for sure
Blonde long hair, bearded and tattoos
This sounds like a surfer boy, put pure.
Pascal (by Caroline)
Pascal wants to travel so he quit his job
And actually, I think that wasn’t a flop
It was the best thing he did in his life
Maybe, he will meet his wife
You know what’s funny about him?
He can’t remember anything
The weirdest thing when he was drunk?
Yeah, can’t remember, maybe kissed some junk.
Tamara (by Emanuela)
Tamara is afraid not to live her life to the fullest
Determined, she continues to follow her road to the top
Easy going girl, she would be a sea animal to swim underwater
And breathes the ocean that she loves
Tamara has a celebrity crush called Travis Fimmel
At Australian actor that attracts her like the country where she is.
Emanuela (by Tamara)
Emanuela is not afraid too easily
But spiders and snakes
That’s what her biggest fear would be
High up in the sky
If only she had wings to fly
A bird she would love to be
The world from above, she would see
A genuine and open-minded girl
You’ll love from the start
Only Johnny Depp is able to steal her heart.
Patrick (by Belinda)
Peru is a place, he’d love to see
Adventurous, he likes to be
Tries hard and never gives up
Ready, set, go until he’s on top
Inception is his favourite movie
Curious about South America, which he loves to see
Kangaroos and Koalas now surround him, life’s easy.
Belinda (by Patrick)
Bee is her nickname from her South African friend
Eating chocolate makes her feeling happy
Likes paella
I’d love to drink a beer with you
Nepal is her next destination
Dolphin is her favourite animal.
Awesome
Robin (by Andrea)
Robin would love to be a panda
Obsessed with eating crispy bamboo
Being in love with the beautiful Scarlett Johansson
In fear of spiders, they are not so handsome
Now I instantly stop because this poem is a flop.
David (by Katharine)
Drums, piano, guitar and bass are the instruments that he plays
Always drinks without getting a hangover
Veggie burger isn’t a thing he would order
Interested in sound and light engineering
Dreams about being a meerkat.
Katharina (by David)
Kidney beans, she doesn’t like
Although she likes to sing on her bike
The only thing she wants to do, is be a tree ‘cause of the better view.

This afternoon 14 of our Lexis students headed out into the ocean for the 1-hour Surf Lesson with the awesome team at Let’s Go Surfing!
For almost the whole group, this was their first time on a surfboard so they were very excited to be able to learn in such a great location as Byron Bay. After getting kitted out with their wetsuits and surfboards, they headed down to the beach at The Wreck, learnt the basics of surfing and then were straight into the water. Everyone managed to stand up (with a few spectacular falls on the way!) and had a lot of fun learning this great Aussie past-time.
Thanks to Blake and Johnny, the instructors for the lesson today!

Today we had some great conversation while enjoying coffee and TimTams at Coffee Lounge.
We chatted and got to know each other, then had a long game of Lexis Jenga. The Lexis version of this game includes answering the question written on the tile you remove from the tower. For example, there were questions like “Do you sing in the shower?”, “What is the government like in your country?” and “Do you like Vegemite?”. We found out that Jain’s favourite pizza topping is kimchi, that both Saki and Vanessa are not likely to survive long in the desert without water, and that Yuki would remove the need for Visas when travelling if she ruled the world!
After a few precarious attempts to continue building the Jenga tower, it all came falling down with a small bump of the table…
…and a lot of laughter to follow! 🙂
~
We have 42 new starters at Lexis Byron Bay today! The students are starting General English, Cambridge FCE and Cambridge CAE courses.
