18.09.26 Happy Friday, La Houguette families! 🌟
What a brilliant week we've had across the school. Here are a few highlights from the past few days:

🚶‍♀️ Perelle Walking Bus: A huge well done to all our active travellers who joined us this morning! It was wonderful to see such a fantastic turnout.
📸 50th Anniversary Drone Photo: The children helped us create a very special aerial photograph today. Ask your child how the teachers had to pose—it's going to look amazing once compiled!
🗳️ School Council Elections: Tensions and excitement are high this afternoon as the ballot boxes are officially emptied and the votes are counted. Good luck to all our candidate pupils!
📰 50th Celebrations Press Release: You might have spotted our recent anniversary news on social media. Please share our posts far and wide to help us reach as many La Houguette alumni as possible! https://gov.gg/la-houguette-50
