Last week the ‘Aussie Studies’ class went to the lighthouse.
They were lucky enough to get a free tour of the lighthouse.
It was a beautiful day in the sun, the whales were jumping in the distance and everyone was having fun.

Farmers’ Market
What a beautiful day to go to the farmers’ market in Byron Bay.
The elementary class had an excellent lesson today, lots of questions for the stall holders.
The students had a chance to taste some strange fruit and learn new vocabulary.
The best think about the market is that everything is grown in Byron Bay.
Surfing courses in Spring
It may be spring but in Byron Bay over the last month it has felt more like summer. The air temperature is a lovely 26 degrees and the water temperature is around 22.
This week our BBELS only surf course started, students go surfing every day for 8 days. They are taught how to surf by Surfing Byron Bay. After 8 lessons everyone can stand up and catch a wave in.
Now is the perfect time to learn to surf, as the water is warm and the waves aren’t crowded. If you are interested in doing a surfing course please see Kyoko or Max.
Good luck guys hope to see you hanging ten soon!!!
Skateboarding in Byron Bay
Birgit, who graduated last week from BBELS, has been learning how to skateboard with Flavio. If you would like to learn more about English plus skating then see Sonia for more information
Byron Bay Lighthouse
It was a beautiful day for a walk to the lighthouse. It took a long time but the students enjoyed walking through the rainforest, along the beach, over the Pass and up the road to the Lighthouse!!!
Beautiful Byron and the BBELS Life!
Watching this video it is easy to see why students love to study at BBELS, it is a small family run school; most of the teachers are local so they can take you to some amazing places in the school van, Minyon Falls, Broken Head and Lennox Head. It is great to see all the different nationalities hanging out together inside and outside of school.

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary
Last week I had the chance to take the Elementary class to Currumbin.
We started with an education session, where the students got to pat a few Australian animals and hold a snake!!!
We then went and had photos taken with the Koalas, after that we visited the Kangaroos.
Currumbin can be a long day and a great way to get around the park is on the train.
On the way back to school we stopped at the Byron Bay Cookie Factory, which was a nice way to end the day.
