Marist attack!

On Friday 15^th of November, we met all the Headmasters of the French Marist schools. They came from Toulon, Paris, etc. They meet up every two years in a different Marist institution. This year, it was the turn of Sainte-Marie...

We talked to three of the Headmasters, including Mr Philippe Chodorge, the Headmaster of Sainte-Marie from 1999 to 2006 (he is now at Saint-Vincent in Senlis).

This day was their “discovery day”.

They went first to see the “DIL” and they found it very innovative.

Then they went to a meeting in a classroom where Mrs. Messager and three pupils explained the system of academic families and they asked lots of questions about the origins of the names of the families and how we can win points.

There were other presentations during the morning including one by our favorite DNL teacher about the international Workshop, and also a great video about the 2013 Sportsday by Guillaume Robert (in TS).

Finally, they went to a meeting in the CDI, where they discovered different projects like the literary award, the readers’ week, and the reading space where authors come to talk to the pupils. Mrs. Mouton, the librarian, also introduced the project on the Middle Ages, and the collection of letters from WWI.

The Headteachers told us that our school had nice architecture, beautiful projects, and friendly people. We found them very nice too!
