MIGRATION IN THE WORLD AND HOME

Another Bachillerato Year 2 group is debating these days migration in modern societies: reasons and causes, effects, etc.
No doubt it is a global phenomenon full of tragedies, stereotypes, hopes, etc.

In this short video there is some insight into the issue to know more about it.


NO TO ANIMAL TESTING

These days our Bachillerato Year 2 students are debating about the rights and wrongs of animal testing.
 For decades mice, primates, cats, dogs, rabbits... have been used to test medicines, cosmetics or cleaning products.
It is high time we stop those experiments because there are other alternatives that prevent cruelty, money, time, etc.
Watch this video to find more about it.

2016 SCHOOL EXCHANGE

These days we are starting the arrangements for our 2016 School Exchange with Gerabronn in Germany
Those who follow this blog will remember that we visited Germany last school year so this will be the Second Edition. We all (teachers, students and families) keep very good memories of the first edition and we hope this will be also a success.
 Between 15 and 20 Bachillerato Year 1 students will take part in this amazing experience and two teachers will go with the group. This year the German group will come here to Huelva first at the beginning of May and we will visit them later at the end of June. 
When we have the definite planning of activities to do there we will post them here.
In the meantime here are a couple of videos with some information.
