Here is a brief synopsis of what has been happening on the Social Services scene this term.

At the beginning of term, the Social Services Committee welcomed Mr David Chapuis who will be helping Madame Barbara Chambovey in running Social Services activities at St. George's.

On September 13, students from Years 12 and 13, accompanied by Mr Chapuis, participated in the Global Harmony Workshop given by Mr Dajani in Lausanne.  Thank you to Mr Dajani for the interesting workshop and for his time. The students thoroughly enjoyed the day.

In November, Bonfire Night was held. This proved to be a very successful event, raising 2,423 chf for our charities.  Thanks to all those who contributed cakes, bric-à-brac and books, making this a very enjoyable occasion. Well done too, to the Houses who produced excellent "Guys" for the Bonfire.  The Inter-House "Guy" competition was won on this occasion by Atalanta House.

In December, Mr Chapuis organised the Cartons du Coeur activity for a local non-profitable association that helps people in need in the Montreux and Vevey area.  Thank you all for your generosity.  It was much appreciated.

Close to the end of term the "Swim for Terri" campaign took place which was organised by a parent, Mrs Bosshart and Head of PE, Miss Jan Byng.  24 swimmers took part in a sponsored swim and raised the sum of 4,744.50 chf for Terri, a young burns victim from the UK. More information about Terri and the campaign can be found in the "Swim for Terri" part of the website.
