Continental Breakfast & Languages Quiz

On Wednesday, Third Year pupils enjoyed a continental breakfast and languages quiz. The competition was very close and the top two teams were only separated by ONE point! The winning team of Zara, Tristan, Oliver, Finley, Fergus and Jessie enjoyed a delicious chocolate prize - well done!

‘Love Languages’ Poster Competition

There has also been a ‘Love Languages’ poster competition this week, with pupils tasked with showcasing different languages and cultures from around the world and many creative and inspired posters were entered.

First prize went to Maisie in 1G for her eco-friendly presentation on cardboard and the convivial messages around languages including different cultures, eating amazing food and travelling the world making friends.
