Happy Halloween! Cloudy weather went unnoticed as the entire campus is full of Halloween atmosphere. We saw a lot of smiling faces get off the school buses in the morning as they showed off their fantastic costumes. Campus was full of vampires, ghosts, goblins, witches and skulls. Many students prepared carved pumpkins and brought them to school. Our lovely LFA Committee spent hours and hours decorating the campus earlier this week and assembled Halloween candy bags for all students.
Patrick will attend the University College of London, known affectionately by its initials, U.C.L. Patrick will join one of the most famous names of universities in England to study Mathematics with Economics.
What a week it has been here at school! We are busy, especially now that all of the new ways of working have become normal, and I am pleased that the students have adapted so quickly and completely. It is magnificent to see the majority of our students back here on campus, and we can’t wait for the return of our remaining children.
On Tuesday, Léman celebrated the Grade 12 students’ graduation ceremony at the Shangri-la hotel in Chengdu. It was a fantastic event and we are all very proud of all of the students’ achievements, not only academically but also their contribution to all areas of school life. The graduating class of 2020 have shown resilience, commitment and dedication throughout the IB Diploma programme and it was a real honour to recognise and celebrate their success.
A brief update from me this week, as I look ahead to a day of interviews at OTOS, the Nord Anglia annual recruitment event. Hiring the very best teachers is our priority and with this in mind I have been speaking with a number of highly experienced and motivated candidates to see who will join our team next year.
Welcome to our first newsletter of 2020! It has been a busy start to our year, and we are looking forward to many exciting events and fantastic learning to come.
