Lexis English - Brisbane About the

  • SCEC was founded in 1989 by Helen Thomas, and was well regarded in Australia as the first school to receive government accreditation for a curriculum which included community integration and cultural activities as part of its teaching program.The concepts for the school and the educational tours were initiated in the late 1980’s and began as short cultural exchange programs.  These were made up of English lessons on “how to communicate with the host family” and fun activities such as surfing lessons, canoeing and horse riding. Each tour was personalised for the individual group. The very first group to arrive in Noosa was made up of city councillors from Japan. This group’s arrival coincided with the worst flood Noosa had ever seen. The roads into Noosa were flooded and the hotel the group was booked into was under water. Nevertheless our mutual interest in education and international understanding (plus lots of laughs over dinner!) created long term friendships, and we all agreed that Noosa was the perfect location for program of that kind.  The weather has been better ever since, too! The College was originally intended to remain small with a maximum of 40 students.  Marketed mainly by word of mouth, it rapidly expanded well beyond that number. By 1995 the College was fully accredited and students were coming from Thailand, Korea, and Indonesia as well as Japan. By 1999, the capacity and enrolment at the College was 100 full-time students, and students were welcomed from Europe, South America and throughout Asia. With the retirement of Helen Thomas in 2004, Ian and Yasuko Pratt purchased shares in the school and integrated it into the Global Village English Centres group.  They expanded into new locations, including Brisbane (2006), Byron Bay (2007), Sunshine Coast (2009) and Perth (2010). In 2011, the company was rebranded as Lexis English, a new brand designed to highlight the unique Australian identity of the group. Today, Lexis English each year welcomes more than 2000 adult students and around 700 junior students from more than 50 countries around the world, and is one of Australia's largest privately owned language schools.

Accommodation

  • Homestay
    Homestays are the most popular accommodation option at Lexis.
    Homestays provide students that chance to live with a local Australian family, who provide you with a room, meals, a warm welcome and a chance to improve your English at home as well as at school.
    We're proud of the quality of our Homestays at Lexis. All our families are carefully selected and homes regularly inspected by our Accommodation Office team. We take care to match your interests with a family who we know will give you a great Australian experience.
    Homestays provide a great way to know more about the Australian way of life and to speak English every day, all in a comfortable family setting. There is no better way to practice the English you learn in class than with your Australian family around the dinner table.
     
    Student Houses
    If you are a little more independent and prefer the flexibility of self-catering accommodation, you may wish to consider living in a Lexis student house.
    Most houses are within walking distance of school and all linen, crockery, kitchen utensils and appliances and laundry facilities are provided.
     
    Backpacker Hostels & Private Accommodation
    If you prefer your own space or perhaps after having lived in homestay for some time you decide that you would like to live on your own, all of our locations offer a wide range of private accommodation.
    Each school’s accommodation office will be happy to provide you with a list of backpacker hostels, shared accommodation and other options to suit your specific requirements. Alternatively, you may wish to reserve homestay accommodation with us for the first month or more of your course to allow yourself time to find your way around before making your own arrangements.

"G'day, mate!" 這是我在Lexis學到的第一句話。 真的很高興當初有選擇先唸語言學校,透過學校讓自己加速適應外國生活,不會在一剛開始就手足無措盲目度過。 我非常喜歡Lexis的校園環境,緊鄰美麗沙灘,不論是午休時間或是放學後,都很適合跟同學一起漫步在白沙上吹吹風看夕陽。還可以到附近的Coles超市採買日常生活所需,非常方便。

 

我對Lexis教職人員的印象就是每天都是笑容滿面,非常活潑親切熱心,不論是課業上生活上有問題,在他們的職責範圍內,都可以找他們尋求建議,別害羞,儘管找他們吧! 最令我期待的是每天的課後活動,學校都很用心安排每個月的行事曆,安排各種不同的活動,除了每週固定的語言交換聚會、讀書會之外,繪畫、各式球類、電影欣賞、烹飪等,每個活動都很有趣喔!

 

讀Lexis最大的優點就是校風自由活力奔放,華人很少,可以交到各國朋友,互相交流各國文化。 選擇Lexis的背包客們,盡情享受“陽光、沙灘、比基尼”吧!
