This week, members of the school Debate Club and students who had shown ability and enthusiasm in our recent World Children’s Day debates were invited to take part in a discussion day in Obuda, hosted by the Clean Air Action Group NGO. Our students really got a lot out of the day and were able to see how professionals on many levels engage with environmental issues and influence policy making. We heard from, and put questions to, individual activists, local and international NGOs, and Anna Lara, a European Commission Policymaker. Students had also done research and gave thorough presentations on environmental challenges and solutions in countries in our region.
Organiser Gábor Bendik commented of our students: “Their interest is impressive. I'm sure that the decision makers of the future were sitting in the room, so it is important that they are sensitive to this topic”. The Debate Club is very keen to be involved in other events of this nature in future as they work towards fulfilling the potential that Gábor saw in them.

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.
