Remove pupils, from the U15 Rugby and Netball teams, enjoyed a rich and vibrant tour to the UAE, training under the October sun, learning about acclimatisation and recovery and playing fixtures against local teams.

Pupils also got to make the most of the trip by enjoying plenty of sightseeing and participating in activities beyond their sports, such as visiting a Waterpark and experiencing Dubai's desert.

Mill Hill Scientists were fortunate to receive a bespoke, personalised talk from a genuine CERN scientist, the son of Mill Hill’s own Mrs Arnold, about the work being undertaken at CERN, the home of the Large Hadron Collider. An excursion to Lausanne’s Swiss Plasma Center, the world leader in fusion research, was another genuine highlight, as pupils stepped foot in the laboratories where actual fusion occurs.

The fascinating trip offered a genuine glimpse into the exciting world of science and the vast range of careers in the subject.

Mill Hill Sixth Form pupils were dazzled by the world of television, film and media in a breath-taking trip to the home of US cinema. Pupils visited Warner Brothers’ Studios, experiencing the cut and thrust of the enormous and multiple sound stages and studios.

Pupils spent time directing and making their own horror films and even watched the live filming of ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show’, watching how the on-screen magic comes together.

This week, Lower School German pupils have been soaking up the culture and history of Aachen, the city where the Holy Roman Emperor was traditionally crowned.

Besides a historical tour of the Altstadt and the obligatory experience of the world famous Weihnachtsmarkt, where many delicious snacks were tasted and handcrafted presents were purchased, the highlight for pupils was time spent in our partner school, the Maria Magdalena Gesamtchule, following real lessons in German.
