Prefects, Josh O and Millie L, spoke in this week's assembly about our current theme of ‘Global Perspectives’, specifically highlighting the World Cup in Qatar. 

Our Spanish Department celebrated ‘Día de los Muertos’ last week; ‘Day of the Dead’ is a Mexican tradition to remember the souls of deceased family members. This celebration allows Mexican families to get together and share exquisite traditional food and spend some time with their loved ones. 

Our Year 8s took part in a European Day of Languages Karaoke Competition. Four energetic classes took part in the challenge with all of them putting in their best effort to attempt to be named winners! Each class had spent a bit of lesson time practising and adding some actions to their performances. 

Year 8 are in the full swing of their Young Leaders qualification and recently they have been learning about Chinese culture. Three of our Chinese sixth form pupils spoke confidently about Chinese festivals, food and the differences between school life here and in China.

At the end of May, our school had the privilege of hosting an exceptional Model United Nations (ROYMUN) conference that ignited minds, fostered critical thinking, and explored the realms of imagination. This two-day event brought together passionate pupils from various schools, immersing them in engaging debates on both "traditional" topics and a Matrix-themed fantasy crisis. 

This half-term delegates have competed at two Model United Nations conferences at Felsted and Cobham Hall. 

Five Year 12 delegates, along with Mrs Routledge and Mr Gurur, made their way to Lady Eleanor Holles School in Hampton, London, at the end of January for their annual LEHMUN Conference. They were to represent Nigeria, Ghana and Saudi Arabia. 

Pupil delegates attended the BMUN (Benenden MUN) conference in Kent earlier this month. After an early departure, 22 delegates, accompanied by Mrs Routledge and Mr Cocker, made the 2.5 hour trip south. Though several of the older delegates had experienced this conference before, for many others it was their first conference. 

Our pupils attended the MUN conference ‘MUNCH’ (Model United Nations Cheadle Hulme) in Manchester at the beginning of the month. Topics such as tectonic plates colliding causing a mass continent to be formed and even implementing a purge was discussed and voted on. 

RHS hosted its own Model United Nations Conference (ROYMUN) last weekend, which included a dinner on the Friday evening followed by two days of conference. Pupils from RHS, Alleyn’s, Felsted and Cheadle Hulme schools all attended.  

Celebrating European Day of Languages – All Week Long!

This summer, a group of 17 pupils embarked on an incredible journey to Ecuador as part of the Social Enterprise Camps International Trips. Their adventure was filled with meaningful community work, cultural experiences, and unforgettable moments in nature.  

We all had a good night’s sleep boarding in Blake with an early rise at 12o'clock in the morning, feeling well rested we headed out, ready for our 6 am take off for our flight to Munich airport. 

On Friday our school took part in Svitlo School's World Record Assembly to raise awareness of the impact of conflict.
