From the Swiss Alps via Kenya to Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, two Aiglon staff and an alumnus are embarking on a five-day trek - a Summit of Service - to raise funds for the Starehe Boys’ and Girls’ Centre Endowment Fund and for the Aiglon Scholarship Programme.

Aiglon’s oracy programme is more than an optional extra or an end-of-year performance skill. It is a form of cognitive training that encompasses classroom life as well as student culture. It helps children learn to talk, learn through talk and understand how talk itself shapes their understanding of the world.

And what a lot there was to celebrate: not just 75 years of success, but also the opening of new campus buildings and the extraordinary contributions of volunteers and donors.
