Five girls from Eighth and one from Seventh have won the ABSCH Cross-Country Tournament for the second year in a row. The tournament, which took place in Casablanca on Saturday, May 12, was organized by Caernarfon School. Our six students belong to the Junior Category, which is how the Association of British Schools in Chile (ABSCH) brackets pupils born in 1998 and 1999.

This team were second in their category both in Fifth and Sixth grades, but when they reached Seventh in 2011 they won the Cross-Country Tournament outright. They have now repeated their feat.

Many congratulations to our athletes on a job well done.

The shield, which will be ours to keep for a year, will hang in a place of honour in our Middle School offices.

Javiera Parada and Isidora Palma from 4° Medio represented Redland in the ESU Public Speaking Competition 2012 at Universidad de Los Andes on the 23rd of April. Javiera presented her speech “Balance equals Success” and Isidora Palma “Our Inner Fight”. Congratulations two these excellent students!

Los libros te llevan a la Tierra de los Sueños.

Del 17 al 20 de abril se celebró La Semana del Libro en el Junior School.
Gracias a la valiosa colaboración de más de 20 apoderados, la bibioteca se disfrazó de la Tierra de los Sueños, con estrellas, nubes y libros que cobraron vida. Durante la semana todos los cursos desde pre-kinder a 4º básico pasaron a la biblioteca para escuchar unos cuentacuentos presentados por los papás y mamás.

En el patio del Junior School se instalaron siete editoriales para vender libros en inglés y español a los alumnos y sus familias. Todo culminó el viernes 20 con el Día Internacional del Libro, en el que se disfrazó todo el colegio y se hizo un assembly especial para agradecer a todos que colaboraron.
