MALAGA 2026: A MEMORABLE SPANISH EXPERIENCE

Our Year 9 to Year 11 Spanish trip to Málaga was a fantastic success, combining language learning, culture and plenty of sunshine

Pupilss enjoyed a rich programme of activities, including a flamenco lesson and show, a visit to Granada and the impressive Alhambra, and guided tours around Málaga. They also took part in Spanish lessons at a local school and even cooked paella, bringing their learning to life beyond the classroom.

With beautiful weather throughout, the girls also made the most of the pool and beach, returning home with a healthy glow and wonderful memories. The trip provided a valuable opportunity to build confidence, independence and real-life language skills.

The pupils were a real credit to the school, and we are incredibly proud of how they embraced every moment of the experience

The NSEA team had some amazing results at the Championship Qualifiers on 26 April. th

Combined Training

Harriet L, Lilly S, Olivia S and Rosie C formed our two combined training teams competing at preliminary dressage and show jumping heights from 80cm to 1M. In combined training, the horses and riders are judged first on their dressage and then go on to a show jumping round, the penalties from both being combined for the final result

The intermediate team won and the open team came second. These are not only fantastic results in themselves but it means both teams have secured their places at the National Championships in October.

In the individual sections, Lilly came third in the 80cm, Rosie won the 90cm, Olivia came third in the 90cm and Harriet fourth in the 1M. These results give the girls individual qualifications in addition to the team ones for the Championships.

Regional Points League Showjumping

Ivy M rode super-fast clear rounds on her pony Teddy to come 3 in the 80 cm and 4 in the 90cm. Both these results gain her individual qualifications for the RPL Championships at Hickstead in August. Rosie C also rode a fantastic debut clear round on her new horse Blue, finishing 8 overall - a great result. rd t h t h

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John

“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going How can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Reflection

Pope Benedict XVI reminds us that Christianity is not first an idea or a moral code, but an encounter with a person. In Deus Caritas Est, he wrote that “God has made himself visible: in Jesus we can see the Father.” In Christ, God steps into our human lives, walks our paths, shares our struggles, and prepares a place for us where love has the final word.

Closing Prayer

Lord Jesus, walk with us in our studies, our friendships, and our daily choices. Teach us to see the Father in your words and actions, and to reflect your love in the way we treat one another. Inspired by St Thérèse of Lisieux, may we learn to follow you in small ways, doing ordinary things with great love May we remember that everything is grace. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen
