With the younger generation and their use of internet and all that it entails,Facebook, Instagram etc, we invited the local police spokesperson who came to explain the dangers and what to look out for. The students enjoyed the talk and were surprised that even though they thought they knew everything, there were a lot of hidden dangers. Did you know that by using Instagram you allow access to all your photographs on your phone! The talk which was in English this time, was enjoyed by all and the students wanted to stay longer but unfortunately we had no more time. We hope that the message got through to them and that they will be more attentive when using their phones,ipads and computers.

This weekend the students will be celebrating Halloween with their friends. To start off the festivities, they will visit Europa Park for the Halloween themed rides. Once they return, they will have a Halloween themed day on Saturday with a Halloween party and scary evening dinner! All the students and staff enjoy the Halloween day and taking part in the costume competition, dressing up and being as scary as possible!

Winter has just started to raise its head again and with the change in the clocks at the weekend, the early evenings have come back. With this in mind, we have been setting up the boarding houses again and the common rooms, adapting them to the time of year. With ping-pong, pool, cooking and PS4 as part of the evening activities sometimes, the students are spoilt for choice, not to mention the themed evenings, parties and reading evenings mixed in.

This term we are still lucky enough to have good weather and we will be able to continue our outdoor expeditions and weekend activities in the mountains. A popular choice with the students, they enjoy taking part in the outdoor walks and camping expeditions, especially when they have to try and put up a tent late at night and find all the pieces in the dark! It is great fun and at the same time develops their character and leadership skills, these will be useful later in life. With the winter soon upon us, the activities are adapted slightly and the students will be able to sleep indoors when on an expedition but with the burning log fires and evening stories, they will continue to have a fantastic experience.
