March 2012 – Student Led Conferences
We were really excited to pilot student led conferences for the first time in our school. It is a chance for our young learners to reflect on and share their learning with their parents.
The feedback from children, parents and teachers was so positive that we have decided to make this an annual event.

International Day
Every summer we celebrate an international day where parents and children present a country that is dear to them and the children learn about the customs, traditions, culture, sites and gastronomy of some of the countries around the world. A true feast for the senses, this is one of the highlights of every year.
