German Immersion Trip 2025

Written by Leo K, Year 10

 

Recently I went on a school immersion trip to Berlin and it was an amazing and unforgettable experience. During the trip, we visited many famous landmarks including the TV Tower, the Berlin Wall, the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag building, each of which helped me learn about Germany’s history and culture. One of the most interesting moments was our visit to the Berlin wall, as it made the experience feel so meaningful. We also had the opportunity to try a wide range of traditional German food such as Currywurst, which was surprisingly delicious and very different from what I usually eat at home. As well as learning about Berlin, the trip allowed me to make friends for life and get to know people I had not spoken to much before. We went to the German school of our pen pals twice and also did activities with them in the centre of Berlin, including a scavenger hunt and a party on the last night. Overall, the Berlin immersion trip was an incredible opportunity that helped me gain new experiences, memories and a greater appreciation for another culture.

Charities Week 2025

The halls of ¿ìèÊÓÆµ 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 ¿ìèÊÓÆµless. 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 ¿ìèÊÓÆµ. 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.
