Primary

Word from the Primary Head

Class photos started to be taken in France in the 1860s at the same time as photography started to become democratic. They were at their most popular from the 1960s to the 1980s once colour photography kicked in. Now they are an institution in schools all over the world. Posing styles have evolved - once upon a time, the children were photographed looking serious and severe, smiles started to appear around 1945 and now they are more and more expressive. From 1968, children started to show their personality through their clothes, abandoning the traditional apron - in one year the change in clothing styles is remarkable. The arrival of digital photography in the 1990s means class photos can be easily shared with friends and family, but it has put the brakes on the tradition of framed school photos taking pride of place on the mantelpiece.

We are delighted to be participating in the tradition and creating memories with our school photos sessions this week and last.

Ms Carine Capel

Secondary

A word from the secondary assistant head

It’s a short but important week - especially for our Terminale students who are going to start making their post-Bac choices for universities in France on the Parcoursup platform. They have until the 12th of March to make their choices and they will be guided along the way by their form tutor, Mr Boutet and by our academic advisor, Ms Motch. The 1ere students are almost done with the first round of continuous assessment for the reformed Bac 2021. 

With Chinese New Year just around the corner, I wish you and your families an excellent year of the rat.

祝大家今年表現鼠一鼠二!
 

Mr Franck Lefèvre
