This weekend the students will be in their final days of revision before the school exams begin. It has been a busy term and the last few days are no exception! It is important that the students have the time to study correctly and are able to cover the skills required in order to achieve good results. Within the boarding houses, the study schedules set up help to oversee that the students are as well prepared as possible and that they have the time to do so. It will be  a quiet week in the evenings with set times and places for study time and study periods, we wish our students the best of luck.

This week the students are in exam revision in the evenings and we will be  overseeing their study methods and helping them. Within the school, the Mini section will have open study evenings all week when the students are allowed to study the subjects they choose each evening. The Junior students may also study their own subjects but each evening there is a specific study club with Barry to help the students prepare correctly. After 24 years in La Garenne, 15 teaching and 8 as Head of Academics and now Head of Pastoral, Barry will be able to oversee the study periods and help with any questions the students may have in regards to their studies. Of course, the students may ask for help at any time should they have any questions or require any help, the house parents are always available.

After a long week of lessons, visits and activities, the Junior house has had a quiet Friday evening. The Junior boys chose their film for the evening and also asked for a pizza party, Jean Seb and Alex the school chef organised the evening for them and they had a fantastic time. The Junior girls opted for an evening which was organised by Paula and Maria Sofia, they chose chocolate cookies after dinner with hot chocolate and a 'girly' movie, a great evening was had by all.

With the Christmas period soon upon us, the children and the boarding staff are in full preparation for the festive period. Amongst many traditions at the school, we will have the special day we collect and decorate our tree as a family, followed by a Christmas film and cookies.We will also be preparing the Christmas carol singers for their Saturday performance and not to mention the Christmas party. This evening, the students have already started to choose their secret santa names when they will all exchange gifts with another student, in secret. 

Our next charity event will take a group of students to “Coop" in Collombey on Saturday 11th of November, from 9am to 5pm, to sell cakes, sweets and salty snacks.

To be sure that the funds collected will be as beneficial as possible, parents and all our staff members have kindly been invited to bake cakes, biscuits, sweets, jams or salted products.
