As our Grade 12s start their exams tomorrow for their High School Diploma, we are wishing them the best of luck and are on hand to impart some pearls of wisdom, such as:

This evening we had the Grade 12 Leavers’ Assembly. It was a lovely time to celebrate the successes and achievements of all of our Grade 12s. This year’s prefect team gave individual speeches with words of wisdom for the younger students, and we particularly enjoyed Marine and Lana’s talks.

Here are some photos of our fantastic public speakers!

As our 12 Grade girls are starting their final exams, here are some motivational gifs and memes to help with the fear and stress!

Keep up the effort and you will do brilliantly, girls!!

Yesterday we had the final House Competition of this year – Just Dance.

Marine volunteered to be our dancer and did a fantastic job!

All our girls have now left for the Easter break and have two weeks with their families and friends to relax and unwind before the final stretch before exams and, for some, graduation!

Tonight we had the awards ceremony for the second marking period and we are once again massively proud of our girls!!

Marine won an award for participation in activities!

Lana won an award for her contribution to Boarding House life!

And Ming and Javi did Mies proud by winning the award for the top two GPAs in Grade 12 with huge grades of 3.84 and 3.83 respectively! Fantastic!!

Well done Marine, Lana, Ming and Javi!!

As a House of nine strong, independent young women, our girls look forward to finishing their academic studies, having fulfilling careers AND having the family life they deserve!

Happy International Women’s Day!

We’re off on the February break this weekend! Some of our girls are going home to see family and friends, some are travelling and some are going to Crans Montana for the school ski week.

We hope everyone has a wonderful time and that Marcos doesn’t get too lonely with no one to chat to!

It’s been very cold in Mies recently. Maybe we should buy Marcos a hat and gloves.
