As part of their Hungarian History and Literature studies, Year 9 Hungarian Students visited the Hospital in the Rock and the Hungarian Museum of Trade and Tourism on Tuesday, 23 May. First, students found out how the hospital worked during World War II and the Revolution of 1956, then, in the second museum they gained an understanding of the role of cafés in 20th century literature. It was a fun and educational day filled with museums, scenic walks and delicious ice-cream.
What our students learnt:
The hospital was very crowded. Originally, they planned it to host 200 patients, but at some points during WWII it had more than 600 patients. - Levi
After a while there wasn't enough bandage in the hospital during WWII, so they had to take some off dead bodies and reuse them. - Jázmin
In the 1900s, the headroom in café houses needed to be at least 4 meters due to the smoke. - Sarah
We saw a music machine called 'Flóra' that was used in a café house more than 200 years ago. - Alex

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.
