To encourage students to speak English at school we have 6 tickets to SOLID GOLD HALLOWEEN to giveaway. It is at the Great Northern and a lot of fun as everybody is dressed up and dancing. A great place to go to after the school party has finished.
I asked the teachers and Max to nominate students that are good at speaking English Only. Funnily enough most of the students came from the lower classes.

Every year we have two study tour groups from Denmark. The students  have a very high level of English and so we offer a cultural program for the students. The students learn about Australian culture, art, history, Aboriginal Australia and much, much more. They were photographed by the Echo (our local newspaper) for a sand sculpture competition, which they organised on Main beach. Please click the link to read the article from the newspaper.

With over 40 short stories to read it was a very hard competition to judge. I got help from Max and Jay-Dea and of course the teachers. The theme of the competition was the Ocean; most entries also had an environmental theme which was nice to read and know that BBELS students care so much about the environment and the Ocean. Congratulations to everybody who entered. Please read all the winning stories on the blog.

The ocean is one of the most beautiful parts of Byron it surrounds the Bay with its aqua blue waters. It is home to the local Byron dolphins, which can be seen playing at the Pass, Main Beach, Tallow’s, and Wategos. It is also a highway for the migrating whales.So please write us your stories, make us laugh, make us cry, make us scared or just make us the best story you can!
