Les Philosophes Garden Party

June 27, 2018

Les Philosophes enjoyed their traditional summer garden party in the Headmaster’s Garden and were blessed with beautiful weather to match the mood.

It was a lovely informal occasion with students and staff alike reading favourite poems, speeches and passages to the society followed by a buffet supper. The new student secretaries were announced for the next academic year; Zara Nimmo and Stefan Dezyk.

Les Philosophes is a sixth form society with membership a reward to those who achieve excellent exam results. Guest speakers are invited in once a month or so to talk on a wide variety of topics. This year, subjects have ranged from Einstein’s legacy and the relationship between science and religion to the Holocaust and Israeli-Palestinian crisis with exploration of Eurasia and the future of journalism covered as well.

By layering and tilting fluid paints, they created unique marbled effects, building confidence and creativity. Each finished piece is a striking reflection of individuality and expressive, contemporary art techniques.
