Coffee, tea and conversation

A good number of parents joined us this morning for the traditional Coffee Morning at the end of the rentrée week. It was the opportunity for parents to get to know others in their child's year, to ask practical questions and to integrate into the community. A big thank you to Rayanne and Gitte (contact parents) who organised this event and to Antoine from the Board of Parents who attended.

Welcome back to school

One of only four student ambassadors at the event, she participated in the ceremony reading the poem Our Heroes by Pam Williams followed by a translation of the poem in French.

Sienna’s reading was particularly moving, executed with...
