Today we welcome 6 new and returning students for the start of their English learning journey in Noosa!
Athena
Athena comes from Tainan, Taiwan and recently finished her masters degree, which focused on Integrated Circuit design for 5g mmWave radar. She has studied English at school before but wanted to advance her speaking and listening skills. She liked the vibe of Australia and so will be studying in Noosa for the next 4 weeks.
Leoni
Leoni is also from Switzerland, coming from Zurich. She has ambitions to become an English teacher and is required to do the CAE exam. She has always wanted to visit Australia and decided to come to an English speaking country to study. She will be studying in Noosa for the next 2 weeks.
Laura
Laura comes from Winterthur, Switzerland and has to Noosa to spend 8 weeks studying English. At home, she works as an apprentice construction painter and is also studying to become a high school teacher. She wants to improve her English to help her become an English teacher and she chose Australia to enjoy the surf culture and experience the awesome nature.
Bettina
Tina comes from Munich in Germany and works as a flight attendant. She wanted to both escape the European winter (which can reach -20 degrees) and to meet new people and learn about their culture and countries. She is on paid educational leave to study English and so will be here for 2 weeks.
David
Also from Munich, Germany, David is also a flight attendant. He would like to improve his speaking skills, his grammar and his vocabulary and he felt Australia had the perfect mix between nice people, nice weather and cool nature. He will be studying with us in Noosa for the next 2 weeks.
Whilst with us here at Lexis, the students will enjoy English lessons each day supplemented with a wide variety of exciting activities. Together, we will surf twice weekly, walk through the national park, play volleyball, enjoy Australian foods and soak up Australian culture and make many memories along the way.
The first day of a new course blends excitement and anticipation. As new students from diverse backgrounds gather, they embark on a journey to enhance their language skills and embrace a new culture. Our orientation morning welcomes students and introduces them to the course structure, resources, and support services, easing initial apprehensions. Meeting peers, support staff, and teachers fosters community, while placement tests ensure they start at the right proficiency level. The day is filled with icebreakers, campus tours, and essential information, laying a strong foundation for their academic and social success in the course ahead.
Noosa, nestled on Australia’s Sunshine Coast, is a stunning blend of natural beauty and relaxed elegance. Renowned for its pristine beaches, the sparkling waters of Noosa Main Beach invite visitors for a refreshing swim or a leisurely sunbathe. The lush greenery of Noosa National Park offers breathtaking coastal views and diverse wildlife, making it a paradise for nature enthusiasts. Cafes and restaurants line the charming streets of Noosa Heads, providing a perfect balance of luxury and laid-back coastal charm. Whether exploring the tranquil Noosa River or savouring the vibrant local culture, Noosa’s enchanting beauty captivates all who visit.
As soon as the new students walk through the door at Lexis, we want to ensure they feel at home. We offer support and encourage them to get to know their fellow students.
“Making friends with international students was priceless. I could learn lots of different points of view from different cultures by spending time with them and get my best friend from the other side of the world. Everything I learnt here is going to be helpful for the next step in my life. No matter how much time goes by from now on, I will cherish those precious experiences from Lexis forever.”
