Terminales in London
Our Terminales spent two intense days in London to see a live performance of the Shakespeare play they are studying: Hamlet. There was also some time for sightseeing and a second play: The Weir. The London trip helped us gain new perspectives. From the production of Hamlet to broadening our cultural horizons at Tate Britain, the experience reinforced our bonds and helped us make lasting memories. The trip showed us London from so many different angles, and it’s one we’ll never forget. Our London trip was truly ‘tintabulous’ — a perfect way to wrap up our last year together. -...

Pygmalion a big success
Based on the play 'Pygmalion' by George Bernard Shaw, the play followed Dr Higgins’ bet about whether he could pass off common-as-muck Eliza Doolittle as a stunning duchess, all through changing her language and appearance. The cast was excellent in their roles: from the arrogant Dr Higgins to the endearing Eliza. With a cast of more than 30 students expertly directed by Mr Tillier, the enthusiastic audience in the Fontainebleau theatre exulted on two consecutive nights. A big thank you to all the parent volunteers who contributed to the stunning costumes, original dances and great songs.
