At this time of year, we say goodbye to a number of staff; three staff in particular should be mentioned: Lin Robinson – English Teacher at the Olney campus; Lin who was in charge of English at Olney, and then moved into a new role of Training Teachers, is retiring this summer. She has worked at Ousedale for 13 years. Doug Abrams – Head of Computing and IT, who has led the department for the last 14 years, and throughout his time at Ousedale helped with the technical side of productions, has taken up a new post at the Webber School after 14 years. Finally, Dave Hurley, who has worked at Ousedale for a staggering 31 years; his dedication to PE teaching and extra-curricular PE in particular will be very hard to replace. Dave is retiring from teaching. We wish all three the very best for the future. As you look through this edition I am reminded of our vision statement ‘to enhance and develop our exceptional learning community for all students’. I feel this focus on enriching lives combined with great teaching and exam preparation is what makes Ousedale special; I hope you feel we have made the vision a reality. We look forward to the summer exams results. Sue Carbert | Headteacher Message from Paul McFadden, Deputy Headteacher As we come to the end of another academic year there is much to celebrate and reflect on.

    www.smartymagazine.com Meeting with Gaël Charbau, artistic director of the Nuit Blanche 2018, art critic and curator by Chloé Guennou& smArty "to share this journey into today's art with as many people as possible." As the 17th Nuit Blanche is about to unveil itself to Parisians, Gaël Charbau, on the occasion of the opening of one of the highlights of the event, the exhibition marking the 10th anniversary of the Collège des Bernardins, which he also curates, went back over the DNA of this formidable dream machine dear to Parisians. Sprinkled with "constellations" according to the red thread he has imagined, this Nuit Blanche 2018 is set in the heart of the capital's emblematic places, some more enigmatic than others. Abdelkader Benchamma for the 10th anniversary of the Collège des Bernardins and the Nuit Blanche (Sleepless Night) The installation, coupled with a number of events, celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Collège des Bernardins, contemporary art having always been present over the years. If during my previous police stations we had, with the director of cultural programming, Hervé de Vaublanc, rather concentrated on the former sacristy, we wanted to reinvest the space of the Nave. A rather majestic space through this Cistercian architecture and the work deployed, of Abdelkader Benchamma both part of the 10 years of the College and the Nuit Blanche. Entitled "Echoes of the Birth of Worlds", it is based on the work of an astro-physicist priest, Georges Lemaître (1894-1966), one of the first to theorize the big bang, which earned him some mockery from other scientists at the time, whereas today this theory is recognized as fundamental in laying the groundwork for the birth of humanity.
