School Trips

Europa Park, Germany

Our recent excursion to Europa-Park and the thrilling waterpark, Rulantica, was a delightful adventure that left our students buzzing with excitement. Europa-Park, renowned for its captivating rides and attractions, provided an exhilarating experience for our students as they explored its various themed areas, from the heart-pounding roller coasters to enchanting shows and cultural exhibits.

The laughter and cheers resonated throughout the park. Rulantica, the adjacent waterpark, offered a refreshing contrast with its water slides, wave pools, and relaxing lounges. This unforgettable trip provided a break from academic routines.

Krakow, Poland

During the academic trip to Krakow, the students had an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the Holocaust, the lives and experiences of those who went through it. Through visiting the remains of the Jewish ghetto, meeting a survivor from Auschwitz, Lidia Maksymowicz, and visiting the camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, the students were able to gain a greater understanding of the experiences of the Jews they had read about in their English lessons, as well as, the historical events that led up to the Holocaust from their History lessons.

Later, the students also had a lot of fun exploring the old town of Kraków, making their own pierogi, tasting Polish and Jewish cuisine with live music, visiting a theme park, the incredible Wieliczka salt mine, and even pushing themselves outside their comfort zone by going to the House of Horrors escape room.

Icebreaker Event

The recent schoolwide icebreaker event was a fantastic showcase of unity and camaraderie as students from across all year groups came together in the spirit of competition and fun.

Divided into our four distinct houses – Lynx, Cerf, Buse, and Bouquetins – our entire school community collaborated and competed in a series of engaging activities that not only broke the ice but also fostered strong bonds and friendships.

It was truly heartwarming to witness students supporting and cheering for one another, transcending age barriers and forging connections that will undoubtedly endure throughout their time here. These events not only promote teamwork but also instil a sense of belonging and pride in our school community.

We are excited to see these relationships flourish as we embark on this journey together, united under the banner of sportsmanship and camaraderie. Congratulations to Team Cerf for their outstanding performance and victory in this memorable event.

Sporting Fixtures

We are excited to share that our boarding students have been actively participating in various sports competitions, representing our school with enthusiasm and dedication. Over the past few weeks, our student-athletes have engaged in football, golf, VTT (mountain biking), and volleyball competitions, showcasing their sportsmanship and teamwork.

These events not only provide valuable opportunities for skill development but also foster a sense of camaraderie among our boarding community. We are incredibly proud of our students' commitment to both their academics and extracurricular activities, and we look forward to continuing our journey of athletic excellence together.

Amongst our incredible results, the CAT A girls managed to finish second in their category in the SGIS volleyball tournament, we finished second in the Golf MLS tournament and one of our bikers finished second in the VTT Verbier competition. Well done to all our athletes.

Outdoor Education

Our outdoor programme is a vital component of our commitment to combatting nature's deficit, reconnecting students with the natural world, and fostering a profound appreciation for the outdoors.

In this programme, students have the opportunity to choose from four exhilarating activities: canyoning, via ferrata, mountain biking, and bridge swinging. These activities not only offer thrilling adventures but also instil a deep sense of environmental stewardship, as students engage with nature in its raw, unspoiled form.

Additionally, we also organise challenging expeditions that take students out of their comfort zones, fostering personal growth and resilience. During these expeditions, students sleep under the stars, surrounded by the pristine wilderness, allowing them to truly immerse themselves in the natural environment.

Alongside activities like mountain biking, paragliding, and hiking, these expeditions provide students with a unique opportunity to push their limits and develop essential life skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, and self-reliance.

Weekend Activities

Our weekends here at le Roc are brimming with exciting activities that cater to diverse interests. For the thrill-seekers, there's the adrenaline-pumping mountain karting, wakeboarding and wakesurfing sessions, where students can ride the waves and improve their water sports skills. And for those in search of retail therapy, there's also shopping, where students can explore the local markets, shopping malls and boutiques.

Those looking for a different kind of adventure can take on the challenging ropes course, navigating obstacles high above the ground in a forest. For strategic minds, lasergame offers an exciting tactical experience that fosters teamwork and strategy.

Finally, relaxation awaits at a nearby swimming pool, walks in the nearby mountains and free time, providing a perfect way to unwind and socialise under the sun.

Our weekend activities ensure that there's something for everyone, fostering a sense of community and making weekends at our school memorable and fulfilling.
