The year has had a very quick start with the arrival of the new students, the expeditions, new clubs and activities each day! The students have had a good start to the year and they are lucky that the sun has followed them back from their holidays allowing them to play outside and enjoy themselves. We are proud of all of our students and this weekend we were happy to see that Daria competed in an international chess competition and was placed very highly and Andrey played eight ice-hockey matches and scored fifteen goals, the highest scorer! Well done!

The School Year 2017-2018 has come to a close. Since September, the whole school community has moved forward, learning and experiencing many new things. The students are not the same as they were at the start of the year - the wide variety of learning opportunities and activities they have experienced has allowed them all to grow and develop. 

As is the tradition, the end of the school year was marked with two days of celebrations. On Friday the parents, students, staff and teachers were entertained by two fantastic school shows – one offered by the Cubs and Minis and the other by the Junior students. This was followed by a reception in the gardens of La Garenne for the whole school community. Congratulations to all those who performed and who were involved of the organisation of this memorable occasion. 

Saturday was a more formal event, introduced by the Director, Grégory Méan. The students of the Dance Club then provided a beautiful dance performance, which was much appreciated by the audience, particularly by the very proud parents of the dancers.  The Pastoral Head, the Head of Primary and the Head Teacher then reviewed the highlights of the year and looked forward to the year ahead in each of their domains. The highlight of the morning for many was the Awards Ceremony, celebrating the achievements of the students in the various academic subjects and other aspects of school life over the course of the school year. Congratulations all those who received awards – and hopefully those who did not win a prize this year will be inspired to greater things in 2018-2019.  

A series of speeches, sometimes quite emotional, were then delivered by some of the Year 9 students who are leaving La Garenne. We wish the whole class all the very best for the future in their new schools.  The Director closed the ceremony by looking ahead to 2018-2019, outlining the themes for the coming school year and the various trips and visits that will be taking place. 

The end-of-year celebrations are always very much a family occasion, and this was no exception. May we wish you all the very best for the summer!

The school year is slowly coming to an end and we would like to wish all our students a wonderful summer holiday. It has been a very quick year once again and the students have participated in a variety of activities and clubs and all seem to have enjoyed themselves! The end of year Ball was a success and we look forward to planning the events for the next school year.

Well done to La Garenne's first Mini basketball club and their coach Maria Sofia. It has been a very quick year and we are proud of the effort they have made. Next Year, they will be playing matches against other schools and most of them within the Junior team!

The Junior boys participated with their music teacher, in a cooking class making sushi. It was a fantastic experience and we are happy that the boys are able to finally cook and should they be lucky enough to enter university one day, at least they will be able to eat correctly!
