A great part of the year 13 syllabus is contemporary and 20th century literature. However, “the past must be acknowledged” - Jozsef Attila. This is what inspired our very difficult and intense day with the year 13 Hungarian Literature group in the Holocaust Museum and the House of Terrors. After reading the works of Miklós Miklós Radnóti, Jenő Rejtő, Antal Szerb and George Faludy, the museums could help us interpret and live through their works even better.
“Visiting the House of Terrors let me better understand George Faludy’s living conditions in prison, which we read about in his book, ‘My Happy Days in Hell.’” (Ádám)
“Reading about the individual experiences of people who survived the concentration camps gave us a deeper insight into the true brutality of WWII.” (Szoni)
“The Holocaust Museum allowed us to gain valuable insight on this part of History.” (Bálint)
“Visiting the Holocaust Museum and the House of Terrors allowed me to compare the literary works we studied to other people experiences, which made me realize that the background didn’t matter if you were the enemy of the current regime you suffered in ‘Hell’.” (Milán)

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

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.
