Girls Enjoying Success

Last week was another busy week of sport for the Junior School. All of our Year 6 pupils headed up the road to Highgate, where everyone took part in four hard-fought quarters of Netball. A fantastic opportunity to put their skills to the test and enjoy some competitive play! On Friday, some of our Hockey players took part in the highly competitive IAPS Hockey Tournament. The team gained valuable experience, played plenty of hockey and of course, enjoyed Haileybury’s fabulous lunch!

Senior School Students enjoyed a bumper Languages and Heritage Week. Two engaging assemblies explored inclusion and the benefits of language learning, revealing many secret linguists among our staff. Our younger students enjoyed an introduction to WoLLoW. They explored the origins of languages and the connection between them, as well as learning more about their peers’ heritage. They also took part in the find-the-word Lanyard Challenge with staff. Students from all years demonstrated their versatility in multi-tasking: counting in any language other than English while hula hooping with the champion Linguist-Hulahooper setting a new Channing record at nine minutes! Year 10 and Year 12 students participated in the Goethe Institut’s Kinotage (Film Days). A Level Germanists interviewed Mr Meier about techno music and live concerts in Germany. Hispanists debated Spanish immigration policy. In French, students explored whether it is always possible to resist, complementing their study of La Résistance. Students excelled in the Bake a Landmark competition. Delicious landmarks, including an Acropolis, a Japanese shrine and the winning Greek Temple were sold in aid of our school charity, the Alzheimer’s Society.
