Students enjoyed an eventful week at Lexis Sydney – Manly, painting their own Boomerangs while learning about Australia’s Indigenous culture, watching the Melbourne Cup at a local pub, and relaxing with a Beach Picnic, full of games and laughter. We also went on a scenic coastal walk to North Head, spotting a few blue-tongue lizards and finishing with a refreshing cafe drink. A perfect week of fun and new friendships!
Picnic in Manly:
Recently, our students enjoyed a relaxed picnic in Manly, making the most of the beautiful weather and beach views. Everyone brought great energy as we played a few fun games, including Celebrity Heads and Soccer. We shared plenty of snacks and laughs, creating a fun afternoon filled with good food, friendly competition, and great company.
North Head Lookout Walk:
On Wednesday, we took a scenic walk to the North Head Lookout, enjoying the beautiful coastal views along the way. It was a perfect sunny day, with absolutely no clouds in the sky! During the walk, we were lucky enough to spot a few blue-tongue lizard basking in the sun, which was a real highlight. After reaching the lookout and taking in the stunning views over the ocean, we stopped by a nearby cafe for a refreshing drink – a perfect way to relax after the walk and get to know each other better.
Melbourne Cup:
This week we also headed to a local pub in Manly to watch the Melbourne Cup, joining the crowd to cheer on the country’s most famous horse race which is only held once a year. The atmosphere was electric, with everyone dressed up for the occasion, enjoying good food, drinks, and a bit of friendly competition. It was a great afternoon spent with new friends, and watching one of Australia’s most iconic sporting events altogether.
Boomerang Painting:
On Thursday, our students delved into Australia’s rich Indigenous culture by exploring the history and meaning of the Boomerang. After discovering more about one of the world’s oldest living cultures, they then had the opportunity to decorate their own wooden Boomerangs. Using paints and markers, students designed Boomerangs inspired by traditional Aboriginal art and symbolism. This hands-on activity offered a creative and engaging way to deepen their understanding of Indigenous culture and its continuing traditions.
Thank you to everyone who joined these fun activities!
