Events
Welcome EveningA social aperitivo for new parents and teachers held in the school Dining Hall about 3 weeks into the beginning of term
Bonfire Night
A traditional English Bonfire held on a Friday evening close to November 5th at Campo Schuster. This is a fund raiser and a social event for the whole family. There is plenty of food and drink, some games and an excuse to ‘dress up’ in Halloween costumes if you choose. The children make guys to be thrown on the bonfire.
Christmas Fair
Christmas fun for the whole family! Held on a Friday afternoon in early December. Kids can visit Santa’s Grotto, make christmas cards. Parents and kids alike can buy last minutes gift items from the many stall holders, tombolas for all and have afternoon tea with holiday delicacies.
Blackbird Day
Blackbird Day is an opportunity for our children to think of giving and to consider others who are in need. It is usually on the last Friday of January. We choose a charity to donate to and school children bring in a box of non-perishable food. A pyramid or mountain of colourful boxes is built. In the past we have also collected writing, drawing and colouring materials for a school in Africa.
Carnival Costume Second Hand Sale
Parents can donate second hand Carnival Costumes, cleaned and in good condition. They are displayed in the courtyard (weather permitting) or the dining hall before Carnival and sold at reasonable prices.
International Evening
This is a social evening for parents, teachers and staff held either before or after Easter. Parents of all the nationalities that comprise our school are asked to contribute food from their country or region. The evening starts out with a cocktail “al fresco” (weather permitting) and then the dinner is held in the two halls downstairs where the food is set out buffet style according to country or region. We usually have some kind of entertainment such as a disco or live music. This is a great opportunity to eat well and get to know other parents and teachers. The ticket price covers the cost of the event and discounts are given to those who contribute a dish.
Summer Fete
This is held every two years on a Friday evening at the end of May or in June and includes music fun and games for all. There is also a raffle with prizes as well as a second hand bookstall, a toy stall and plenty of food and drink. This has always been a great way to end the school year and often a last chance to see all your friends before the summer break, and the annual departure of many of us as we move on to out next posting!!
