Term 3 Lunch Clubs

We encourage all students to get involved in one of the many Lunch Clubs on offer this term. Running throughout the week during the first half of lunchtime, these clubs provide a wonderful opportunity for students to build friendships, explore new interests and develop their skills in a fun, supportive environment.

We are also excited to introduce a new Spanish Board Games Club this term! Students will enjoy playing a variety of board games while practising their Spanish vocabulary and conversation skills in an engaging and relaxed setting.
