Saturday was also the day of the Alpage de Barboleusaz , when the cows are taken up to their summer pastures, followed by drinks and soup for the onlookers. The herds were obviously glad to be back in their alpine environment, and the procession, lead by the Head Cow, proudly decked in her finery with a garland of flowers and a magnificent bell, attracted a large and enthusiastic crowd. The Three Peaks Team left on Wednesday to do their thing in Scotland - the team consists of Lower Sixth formers Borja Aguirre, Piotr Wozniak, Alexia Hentsch, Vivianne Romang, Ilija Talev, Nick Ferguson, Eren Tigrel and Gijs van Dedem. Good luck to all. When I visited them yesterday evening Hugh Clarke was just preparing their Sweet and Sour Chicken evening meal - they were evidently having great fun.
Posters are now out, and final preparations slotting neatly into place.
Pics and a review of the concert to follow. Glorious Sunshine T he morale on campus has been really high this week, helped by a week's solid sunshine. Tim Chen and Lana Elias gave superb piano solo performances of pieces by Rachmaninov and Debussy respectively. Thanks to all at Florimont for hosting the event, and for the super souvenir sculpture with which the participating schools were presented. On the academic front A-level and GCSEs started this week with the Aural and practical exams.
