The final week of term has been filled with lively events, and I particularly enjoyed the performances by our DP music students for their exams. The audience was treated to an eclectic and exciting range of musical pieces, from Debussy, through to Amy Winehouse and even Guns N’ Roses! Our thanks to Ms Verity for her organisation and for her constant support for all musicians in the school. 

Last week we enjoyed the fruits of the hard work by the students and Arabic Departments, with Arabic Language and Culture Week. Verbal quizzes, food, music, calligraphy, prizes for cultural knowledge and much more allowed everyone to have fun and learn at the same time. This really brought the language and culture to life and we thank all involved. 

Finally, I am delighted to report how brilliant a community event Winterfest was. So many families came to this on Thursday and enjoyed an amazing Talent Show of 55 acts and stalls galore led by students! I was so impressed by the courage of all the students who performed. I would like to thank Ms Amanda and Ms Mary Ann for their organisation and Mr Ranjit and his team, Mr Arun our audio technician and the art and music departments for their superb support. What a way to end the term!

Kind regards and have a wonderful holiday,
