Throughout the year, we organize various activities that incorporate the use of English. Here are some of the ones that have been carried out in recent years:
Last December 13th, we celebrated the most magical Open Day at our school! It was a fantastic event where our Mercedarias students had a blast casting spells, crafting their own wands, and even dueling in an exciting game of Quidditch. All of this happened while they explored different bilingual subjects taught at our school.
It was a unique and unforgettable experience for both our students and teachers.
Here’s a short video capturing the magic of this amazing day!
El pasado 13 de diciembre se celebró en nuestro centro el Open Day más mágico. Fue una jornada de puertas abiertas en la que nuestros alumnos de las Mercedarias se lo pasaron en grande realizando conjuros, fabricando su propia varita e incluso batiéndose en duelo en un emocionante partido de Quidditch. Todo esto mientras descubrían diferentes asignaturas bilingües que se trabajan en nuestro centro.
Fue una experiencia única e inolvidable tanto para ellos como para nosotros.

This year, for the very first time, we organized Erasmus Days at our school—a full week dedicated to promoting the values of cultural exchange, European identity, and international learning. Through this initiative, we were able to inspire our students with the spirit of the Erasmus+ programme, showing them the importance of learning beyond borders.
Students from all levels of Secondary Education (ESO) and even our Higher Vocational Training students from Early Childhood Education (CFGS) got involved. Throughout the week, a wide variety of activities took place, including poetry readings in different languages and the creation of posters to showcase and spread awareness about the actions and values supported by the Erasmus+ programme.
It has been an enriching and motivating experience for our whole school community!
