Today, thanks to the tuc shop money earned over the year, Olympus had a family meal in the Boarding House! It is not often the boys are all in the same place at the same time, so it was nice to be together! The students had a great time and it meant they could have small amount of time to relax as a house before the exams start on June 17th!
The CDL Photo Competition results are out and….. our very own Yilun MA has won! An excellent photo – well deserved! Yilun will pick up his prize of an iPad tomorrow.
We are back, and the boys have a been busy over the last three weeks!
Here are a few photos from the two long weekends, our trips to Berlin and Rome, Wakeboarding, Horse Riding, a day trip to Chamonix – Mont Blanc, Golf and preparation for the upcoming end of year exams.
Exams start on the 17th June for the majority of the boys.

On Friday 16, a SOA concert took place in the Eiger auditorium by several students. This SOA concert takes place to gain money for charity – SOA.
