In these difficult times, its is great for our boys to get together and share these special times. The joy these little house events bring to the boys is apparent when they return to the house and the feeling of team spirit and positivity is clear for all to see after the game. We are very lucky to have these boys and the boys are very lucky to have each other.

Our Student of the week…….. Nico

This Sunday we wanted to highlight some of the amazing work done by one of our students Nihad (Nico) Rustami. Nico has shared some of his drawings with us over the weekend, and his school projects and I am sure you will agree they are very good. Nico has aspirations of being an architect in the future, and he looks to me as if he is on the right path to succeed.

This was another of Nico’s projects from the week, highlighting the times we live in, and the effects of wearing a mask on our perceptions. This is a very powerful project and I think you can agree it is a great piece of artwork.

Sandstorm Ski Day for the Boys

The boys were treated to a very different skiing experience on Saturday, when they traveled to Les Crosets and Morgins to Ski. As we drove through the mountains, and neared the ski resort the sky turned red and began to rain sand.

This phenomenon occurs very rarely, and is caused by sand taken up into the atmosphere from the Sahara desert, falling as rain. The sand caused the sky and the snow to turn red, and was an extremely strange atmosphere to ski in. That said a great day was had by all the students, and they cant wait to get back into the mountains next week.
