We are thrilled to welcome 3 new students from Andorra, Spain and Brazil!
Welcome Bruno!
Bruno is 35 years old and comes from Brazil. He’s a passionate jiujitsu coach who also loves surfing, reading, and watching movies. He decided to come to Australia because a close friend of his runs a jiujitsu academy in Ballina. Bruno is currently teaching there in the afternoons. He’s eager to improve his English so he can communicate more easily with his students and pursue his dream of traveling the world. He’s been really enjoying Byron so far. Welcome, Bruno!
Welcome Laura!
Laura is 25 years old and comes from Andorra. After finishing high school, she moved to Barcelona to study Marketing at university. She has experience working in the hotel industry—Andorra is a popular destination during the ski season. Laura is excited to start her surf lessons and embrace the laid-back Byron Bay lifestyle. She’s also keen to improve her English, as it will open up more job opportunities for her in the future. Welcome, Laura!
Welcome Pilar!
Pilar is 47 years old and comes from the beautiful island of Mallorca, Spain. Back home, she used to run her own business—a small supermarket. Pilar decided to come to Australia to take a break from her routine and seek a fresh start. She’s looking forward to improving her English and finding new job opportunities here. Welcome, Pilar!
The day started early with everyone gathering to take their placement tests. This helped us asses their English levels, making sure they are in the right class to get the most out of their time here.
After the tests, the students joined Rita for an orientation session where she gave them all the information, they need about the school and what’s ahead. They also got to meet Luke from Let’s Go Surfing and Chiara from Dundee. Luke shared some cool tips about the local surf scene, and Chiara talked about weekend trips and activities around Byron Bay. It was a great way to set the tone for an exciting and diverse adventure.
Next, the students joined their new classmates for the last hour of the morning class. It was a great way to ease into things and get a feel for the learning vibe here at Lexis. Then it was lunchtime—the perfect chance to chill out, grab some food, and start making new friends.
After a busy morning of placement tests, orientation, and a taste of the classroom environment, the students did an afternoon walk and talk with Rita. We saw some fruit bats on the way and also stopped at the Australian aboriginal art shop and were lucky enough to witness the shopkeeper play the didgeridoo.
