Great to see our past boarder Sarah visiting again, and sharing about her gap year experience!

Thanks to former MFL student @Royalandprior Sarah for coming in to share of her Gap Year experience in Val d'Isère...immersing herself in the French language and culture. A very enthusiastic and informative talk...🏂🇫🇷🌨❄

♟️🎲 “Vintage” Games Night ♟️🎲

Old but Cool 😎(and not really that old at all!😅) But a real novelty for our boarders to enjoy some of the older games on the shelf, plus some precious 90s and 00s entertainment that just doesn’t loose its appeal! 🤭😂
