Year 13 have been moving through their final unit on Organic Chemistry and performed a practical to extract limonene from, you’ve guessed it, oranges. (It is also in lemons, but oranges make the laboratory smell nicer!) They used simple distillation to collect the oil from the orange peel, and then performed a test to prove that it was what they expected it to be - it was.

Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of participating in the Nord Anglia Snowsport Expedition in the breathtaking region of Villars-sur-Ollon, in the Swiss Alps. This was the very first year our school organised an expedition like this, so it was definitely a one-of-a-kind experience.
Our Year 2 school trip to the Children's Railway this week was a great experience. We started our journey at Hűvösvölgy and made our way up to Széchenyi-hegy.
