On November 30th we visited the Fiumei Road cemetery with the Year 12 Hungarian group in beautiful snowfall. The graveyard is the most important cemetery in Hungary, called the National Graveyard. Many notable public figures of the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century are buried here. The mausoleums of the cemetery are fully protected as monuments, some of which are open to visitors, and we were able to see the mausoleums of Batthyány, Deák and Kossuth, whose interiors are built in sophisticated, artistic styles, some of them the size of a small house. They were usually designed by well-known architects of the time by family members of the deceased.
We had recently finished our study of Endre Ady, so it was only natural to visit his grave. We were also lucky enough to visit the grave of one of Ady's most famous muses, Leda, who is buried not far from Ady.
In the quiet snowfall, we walked with due respect and curiosity in memory of the famous Hungarian. (Trisztan)

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.
