IB Visual Arts Exhibition

On Monday 26 April the Palacio de Congresos in Marbella was host to a fabulous exhibition of different forms of art created by our sixth-formers over their 2 years of IB. Each pupil’s work had been examined in situ by the IB examiner, curator at the Reina Sofia Art Gallery. They Mayoress of Marbella, Angeles Muñoz, opened the exhibition with words of praise for Aloha College’s strong position in the community, and for its constant encouragement of pupils’ talent and creativity. All those present agreed that the SNAPJAM exhibition, prepared by Sophie, Natasha, Ana, Philip, Jaime, Anita and Marta was an inspiration to all.

Open Day Aloha College

On Thursday 29 April parents were thrilled to be able to see their children involved in classroom activities, or watch the teaching going on higher up the school. Junior parents as yet unacquainted with Senior School, were highly satisfied to witness the standards of teaching and learning going on there.
