Byron Bay – Spectacular Sweet Exchange raised over $420 for Bangalow Koalas – 18 November 2022

Last Friday we held our latest Sweet Exchange, on this occasion to raise money for Bangalow Koalas. Bangalow Koalas is a local charity on a vital mission to create a koala wildlife corridor with 500,000 trees (koala homes) by the end of 2025. In February 2022, the declining New South Wales koala population was changed from “vulnerable” to “endangered” under Federal laws. On Friday, our campus rallied behind the cause and raised $422.25 by having a great time, sharing amazing sweets and enjoying music spun by our student / professional DJ Bernie.

Byron Bay – Excursions for Dynamic English Studies Outside the Classroom – 8 December 2022

Here at Lexis Byron Bay, we pride ourselves on making all our English lessons dynamic, student-centred and interactive and this often involves taking the learning outside of the classroom and on excursions.

Students then get lots of opportunity to socialise and have real conversations, often with native speakers while performing a task directly related to the language focus of the day/week.
