This week the Junior students returned from their school trips abroad. They had a fantastic time and were able to participate in a variety of cultural visits and activities as well as enjoy the local cuisine and outdoor activities on offer. The students in Portugal were also able to participate in an evening cooking lesson learning how to prepare local dishes which they shared together at the end!

This week some of the students went to Montreux to meet Anatoly Karpov, who was the World champion in chess. They had a great time and two of them played against him!

With the third term under way, we are all very busy! This term we have continued to work on individual after school projects whether they be musical, artistic etc, and the students discuss with the Boarding Director how best to integrate the time within their day. The students are working on individual art projects and design classes as well, a lot of project based learning. I would though like my art students to only do so in the art room but then again, Idon't think anyone asked  Van Gogh to stay in his room! Some of the students have also produced meals for the evening dinner and created some tasty dishes. Well done!

Welcome back to all the students who were away for the Easter break. We are happy to see that you have enjoyed your holidays and are now ready to work through term 3! It will be a very quick term as with the school trips abroad, the end of year show and award ceremony to prepare not to mention the expeditions, charity events and special boarding activities, the eight weeks will fly by!

This week the students and staff will be voting for the prefects for the third term. The students will have access to the on-line voting page and they will also be able to follow the results as they come in showing who the next prefects may be  for their return from the Easter holidays. They have worked hard to prepare posters for the school in order to make sure the students participate.The results will be seen on Friday!
