During International Week, Year 5 and 6 were raising money for the Twinning Toilets charity working in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The aim was to raise enough money to provide 6 families with a toilet and clean sanitation. We hoped to twin with each of the six primary school toilets and have managed to raise 186,000 Huf – this should be enough to provide 7 families with this potentially life changing opportunity.
In Year 3 and 4, we were raising for a digital literacy program for the Tanodahalozat in Batonyterenye in Nograd county charity. We have managed to raise 177,000 Huf to help them with this. In addition to the literacy program, Early Years, Year 1 and 2 students donated a van full of food (including cooking oil, flour, pasta, tinned goods and chocolate treats) for the more immediate needs the families supported by this organisation need.
A huge thank you to everyone who has generously helped to support families in need both here in Hungary and internationally.
The Junior Changemakers
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.
