Sydney – A warm welcome to 14 new students – 4 December 2023

We are excited to welcome our new students from Brazil, Colombia, Japan, Mongolia, Switzerland and Thailand!

New Students
Welcome to the Lexis Manly family: Mai, Keiko, Natsumi, Ronja, Julian, Akari, Melisa, Minami, Ayaka, Pedro, Suchawadee, Davaajargal, Christian and Mariana.

Today we got to meet 14 new students, who will join us for the next 1 – 26 weeks. Their orientation day started off with a writing and speaking test to create an individual study plan. Once everyone was assigned to their class, it is all about discovering Manly, our campus and get to know each other better. The students used their lunch break to discover the many local restaurants together and exchanged over their home countries before going on a fun walk and talk tour with our teacher Brad. Tomorrow our lovely group of new students will begin their studies, we are excited to support them on their individual journeys.

We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to meet their teachers and classmates – have a great time at Lexis Manly!


Our new students will join the following classes:

  • Intermediate: Ronja Kreienuehl
  • Pre intermediate: Christian Stadler, Natsumi Matsubara, Melisa Leiva Barrios and Pedro Gomez Mercado.
  • Elementary: Minami Yoshikawa, Mariana Nascimento Borges, Keiko Maekawa, Julian Hofstetter, Akari Shioiri and Davaajargal Davaasambuu.
  • Starter: Mai Ohgaki, Ayaka Yoshioka and Suchawadee Kiewnok.

 

Best wishes!
