Pupils from Nursery to Year 13, all dressed in white, celebrated World Peace Day on 21 September.

The Curriculum Enrichment and Sports Programmes are well under way, with an increased variety of activities this year.

We are pleased to welcome several new members of staff to the Aloha College team: In the Junior School we have Ms Nicol O’Shaughnessy as Deputy Headteacher and Year 3 teacher and in the Senior School we have been joined by Ms Rysia Kaminski

Year Six began the year with their Welcome Assembly. The children began by forming the word WELCOME out of body shapes which looked effective as they were dressed all in white .They then said hello and welcome in many different languages and we learnt that there are as many as forty two different nationalities in Aloha College. A PowerPoint presentation followed which told the audience about the history of the Union Jack flag of Great Britain and also the story behind the Spanish flag. The presentation continued with several very interesting facts about various countries that the children had researched themselves, backed up by photographs. The assembly finished with a song, performed by all the students, which gave the cautionary message that we should all take care of our precious planet. As a treat for all the children in the Junior School and the teachers, the pupils of Year Six had all brought in some home made food from their countries which they later distributed to everyone.

Over the summer a variety of work was carried out in school, the most noticeable being the new cushioned surfaces on both the Junior School basketball pitch and the Senior School pitch, essential to the ongoing development of our Sports Programme.

Aloha is pleased to welcome all its pupils to the new school year, especially the 109 new pupils – 26 from Foundation Stage, 43 from the rest of the Junior School, and 40 from Senior School (including 13 new pupils in IB) who have started since 1 September.

Summer school pupils explored the “jungle” at Selwo Adventure Park where more than 2000 animals live in the heart of nature. They enjoyed all sorts of activities and were able to see Kanvar, the only Asian elephant born in Spain

Once again Aloha College marked the end of the academic year by celebrating achievement in its traditional Prize-giving and Graduation Ceremony. A total of 47 pupils from Year 13 (the second year of the International Baccalaureate Programme) received their Graduation Certificate on Friday 25 June at the Palacio de Congresos in Marbella.

This year all of year 6 went on a residential trip to El Chorro, Camp site, in Malaga. Whilst we were there we went through a series of activities! We did many fun activities like: obstacle courses, orienteering, swimming, zip lining and more.

The pupils of Year 1 were thrilled at the variety of plants and animals that they saw during their visit.
