    It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of Ms. Lorraine Hird, whose children were students of the British Section and participated in many activities. Lorraine ran the Summer School in 2011 and will be remembered fondly by all parents and students who were involved. The Association extends its warmest condolences to Lorraine’s family.

    Reine Leriche will be stepping down from her role as Secretary of the Association. The officers and all the participants in the General Assembly thanked her for her dedicated service over the previous three years.

  • The english library

    All students from the Collège British Section can gather in the English Library which is

    9A94

    situated in Room F00 aka Mrs Chicaud’s classroom. They can borrow books and DVDs in

     English on Mondays and Fridays from 12.00 to 1.00 pm.

     The library is staffed by volunteer parents and their schedule is put together by Mrs Delépine.

     

    9AA7For one hour, the students can settle down with a book or play board games…in English, of course!

     

    The library is visited steadily but it gets busier on rainy days.

     

    All reading levels are catered to. The large book selection goes from easy picture books to Thomas

     

    Hardy’s novels and Shakespeare’s plays!

     Often borrowed DVDs include movies based on Charles Dickens and Jane Austen’s novels as well as Roald Dahl’s books, who is favoured by younger students. Harry Potter is as successful as ever.
