Lewis School Diary - August 2005

August was a busy month at the school.

 

At the start of the month, the school was inspected by the British Council. Accredited language schools like the Lewis School are regularly inspected to ensure quality standards in all aspects of the service we provide. We will get a full report in November. I am pleased to say we were complimented on our 'excellent' website!

We are currently creating a new look for our brochure, and as a result, Tom and Julia were often seen wielding the school camera this month! Many thanks to all those who volunteered to be in the photo shoots, such as Philippe, Alba, Silvia, Juan, Raffa, Adolfo and Giorgio pictured left, enjoying a picnic in the park opposite the school.


Our social programme took advantage of the (mostly!) sunny weather with barbecue parties on our patios, excursions to London, Brighton and Oxford, and another great day windsurfing and canoeing amongst this month's activities. Meanwhile, the nation has been gripped by a thrilling series of cricket matches between England and the world's current number one team, Australia. This has led to a Lewis School first: students being interested in cricket and even starting to understand the rules!

A great day to be out on the water.

August was also the end of the Junior Centre, so it was time to say goodbye to Peter, Esther and the Junior team, and of course to all our Junior students, several of whom were here for their second or third summer with us. We will be welcoming some out of season Junior groups in September.

 

Another very important farewell this month was to Andrew and Jung A - click here to read more. We also welcomed Welfare Officer Suzie and teachers Jonathan and Louise.
