This evening of celebration was very successful for the Chritmas party ,on Friday, Dec. 13^th !

No fewer than three representations were necessary to satisfy the audience who came and was delighted by the Cinderella Pantomime, the show prepared by students of the British Section of middle and high school. The result of this hard work was a wonderful moment spent with our youg actors and actresses, who managed to skillfully mix both British and French culture. We laughed with the two nasty step sisters, sympathized with poor 'Buttons' and the most sensitive of us surely let out a tear during little Cinderella's beautiful song ! A great thank you to the teachers of this talented company ! Thank you and congratulations to Mrs. Rose Quinsley and Mr Bruce Francis for all their involvement in the show as well as to the lively and gifted actors!

All this large audience was brought together around a buffet, prepared in the restaurant of the school, in a warm and festive atmosphere. Thank you to all parents who have made delicious cakes to complement the buffet .

Thank you to Celine , Jean -Pierre, Gilles , Marie- Christine , Sylvie, and all others who have given a helping hand by cutting the cakes, or disguising the children.

Here are some photos of the show ! Christmas Party 2013

Happy New Year !!!

A beautiful late summer sun accompanied the garden party on Sunday, September 22.

It was attended by about two hundred participants Garden tennis club in La Baule. By noon, aperitif allowed everyone to find or get to know. A well stocked and tantalizing buffet awaited the guests who are seated under the pines. It's always a nice moment that sharing friendly! Desserts prepared and brought by the families were as gorgeous as it is delicious. Over coffee, some accordion tunes played by a musician parents have contributed to the party and made me want to dance to the joyous banquet of final year students.
Tennis tournaments have been quick to take over and the sections were-won.
Thank you to the organizers and all those who have lent a hand and helped make this day a success.
