Charity Dinner: Charity Dinner:

The reason why the dinner is like that is because its aim is to raise money for people who does not have anything, not to have a luxurious or a fancy dinner. During the dinner you can buy tickets for the raffle. We have two kinds of raffles; the big one and the small one. In the small one, you can win a small but meaningful gift. If you do not win anything, keep your ticket!! because you have the chance of winning something in the big one. In this last one, the presents are usually a stay in an affordable hotel or a trip. All the money raised, both tickets or the dinner, goes to Cuba. This year 2018 we collected 1,500€. This is the way we help people from Cuba. So do not be shy and join us!

2º BACHILLERATO GRADUATION:

Last Friday 4th of May, the seniors from our school had their Graduation Ceremony to celebrate the end of their school life. I had the opportunity to attend to this event and I can say that it was marvellous. Here’s a brief explanation; The event began with a speech from the teachers where they gave advice to the future university students about the world outside school. Furthermore, teachers did not forget to mention all the crazy things the students did at school. At the end everyone was able to admire the long way the students had come and their experiences and achievements. The evening was followed by a number of speeches made by the student about their experiences at school, especially from those who had been in the school from its beginnings. The students made the speeches really entertaining and it made us all laugh. At the end, the students showed us a video of photos with their experiences throughout the school year which made us really emotional mixing happiness and sadness all at once. To end this fantastic ceremony, we had a great dinner all together. What I’ve learned from this experience is the amazing time you spend at school and how little we realise this.
