We visited the Benedict Abbey in Pannonhalma. Medieval Christian Literature is a part of the year 10 curriculum, so we went to the first Hungarian monastery, and learned about the monks’ lives. In the huge library, we were astonished by the beauty of hand-written and illustrated books as well as an abundance of codexes. As we also learned about the beginnings of Hungarian literature, we viewed the first Latin text containing Hungarian words and the foundation letter of the Tihany Benedict Abbey written in 1055. In Pannonhalma, the monks don’t only teach, but they craft various products out of organic herbs as well as chocolates, so we also tried those.

Year 12 have been spending a lot of time in Sports Hall One over the last week. Not doing sport, although they could tell you the science behind it…
There was a fun packed programme for the secondary students remaining on-site, which followed the 5 Co-Curricular strands. Students were immersed in languages, film-making, STEAM activities and cooking. They learned about children's rights and advocacy, and showed their creative talents through artwork. They hiked in the hills and formed friendships across year groups. See the Firefly page for further details and photographs
It has been a very memorable end of the primary journey for our Year 6 students. This last week of term has been jam packed. On Monday and Tuesday, the students performed the end of year production of ‘Olivia’, on Tuesday morning, there was a year group water fight and on Wednesday afternoon, they finally graduated with a special ceremony.
As a community, we've been actively promoting healthy eating habits through our weekly articles about life in the kitchen. With the summer holidays just a few days away and the heatwave this summer, we must all be more mindful of our fluid intake.
