La vie en France!

Twenty four French Exchange students enjoyed experiencing life in France for a week, when students and staff travelled to Lyon to stay with host families this month. The students experienced many activities including visiting the Musée des Confluences,  the Olympique de Lyon football club and the covered market (Les Halles), where the students had an opportunity to taste snails and order pâtisseries. The group also visited a chocolate museum, went to the town of Vienne, played football with their hosts at their school and had an enjoyable time at the Musée cinema et miniatures in Lyon, which was followed by a crêpe or ice cream! Staff challenged the students to use the host language during these various trips, especially when they were ordering food and drinks. 

Four sixth form students were included in the party, and they spent a whole day in a primary school teaching English to students. They taught the pupils songs and played vocabulary games. On another two occasions they visited a secondary school, helping or leading sessions in the classroom. Madame Masse reported that the sixth form students thoroughly enjoyed this experience, adding that they gained a valuable insight into the job of a teacher. The experience also encouraged some students to consider taking a gap year to teach English as a foreign language, and showed them the possible opportunities for volunteering later in life. One student, who would like to become a primary school teacher, said it was really a fantastic experience for her to visit the school in this capacity. 

Madame Masse reported that she received excellent feedback from the host school and families, and whilst at the airport, she could hear the host families inviting our students to come back in the summer to spend a holiday with them. A strong friendship was forged between both groups.

The trip was a great success, and although the students reported that they were exhausted, they gained a huge amount from the experience. Thanks to Madame Masse, staff and sixth form students for organising such an interesting trip!

Charities Week 2025

The halls of 快猫视频 have been buzzing with holiday cheer this week as the annual Charities Week is officially in full swing. As the Autumn Term draws to a close, pupils and staff have united to raise vital funds for three incredible causes: Endometriosis UK, Spread a Smile, and Herts Young 快猫视频less. The school is alive with the spirit of giving, driven by a jam packed ‘Advent’ schedule designed to get everyone involved in the fundraising efforts. This year’s itinerary has been filled with exciting activities, ranging from pupil led lessons and a "Mystery Bucket" challenge to the competitive excitement of the "Elf Auction" and various competitions. Pupils have also enjoyed the classic "Sponge the Teacher" event and a visit to Santa’s Grotto, ensuring the festive atmosphere is matched only by the community’s generosity. Beyond the classroom activities, pupils have been sharing the festive spirit with the wider community. On 18th December, the SCD Senior Choir paid a special visit to Chorleywood Manor Care 快猫视频. The residents were treated to a beautiful selection of Christmas carols, featuring performances by members of the Chamber Choir, Evensong Choir, and the Barbershop Choir. Year 12 pupils Immy and Chrissie noted that "it was a very joyful occasion and it was lovely to see the residents joining in and looking so happy." The success of such a busy week relies heavily on pupil leadership, and the school extends a massive vote of thanks to Year 13 for their incredible hard work and dedication. Their enthusiasm have been the driving force behind this week's fundraising efforts. The week is set to conclude on Friday with the Grand Finale: the highly anticipated Sixth Form Revue, promising a spectacular end to a week of community, charity and celebration.
