Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from BBELS


Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from the BBELS family
We would like to wish all our past, present and future students a Merry Xmas and a happy New Year.

For those students who are in Byron Bay for the holidays, enjoy an Aussie Xmas! This generally means the beach, prawns and a lazy game of beach cricket at Wategos, The Pass or Main Beach. Remember to get there early to get the best spot.

To all those students in their own countries we hope you have a wonderful day.

Concerned Citizens of Byron Bay
