Rest in peace, dear friends A terrible tragedy shook our beautiful, safe community of CransMontana on 1st January 2026.

Expressions of compassion and solidarity flooded in from all over the world, along with hundreds of flowers and messages of comfort.

We pray for those who lost family and friends. We wish courage and promise our support for those who were injured or lost loved ones and are beginning to rebuild their lives.

Le Régent’s Community Pop Choir

We'd love you to join our new Le Régent Community Pop Choir, which is a fun, relaxed communal singing experience.

No need to read music, no auditions, no experience required, no pressure!

We are actually the first school in the world to be using a fantastic platform called “Some Voices”, which is one of the biggest and best pop rock choir groups in the UK. All the songs are pre-recorded for you to listen and learn in your own time, then we practice all together in the assembly hall every Tuesday from 5-6pm. We are already around 20 students, staff and parents and we are already making an amazing sound!

You’ve sung in the stadiums for your favourite sports teams, you’ve sung along at pop and rock concerts. Come and re-experience that special feeling of joy and solidarity that only singing with lots of other people can create.

Grab a friend and come along!

Beautiful People

by Aryan Aswani, IB1

A life full of insecurities A life full of scary eyes goodbyes and ugh a loosened tie Beautiful people full of connection leaving behind a few innocent minds Minds full of innocence grace and happiness The kind of people who are hard-working yet unrecognized Loyal to many but still compromised And kind to all but still sacrificed The secret drivers of this new modern world People who were remembered in their good times But thrown away, forgotten like dust in their bad times Pure survivors who may have no one to rely on But can always be relied upon by others Some might see this as a weakness In its entire truthfulness photos by Albert Siagian IB2 It’s the essence and power of innocence One that is not foolish but mature One that is not desperate but hopeful One that is constantly seeking the good In the people of this imperfect world The kind of people who were not meant to fit in a world full of One-word replies, artificial situationships and snapchat streaks But true seekers of genuine connections and relationships We are rare but not gone Hate us or love us Aryan has written a book!

Respect us or mock us He will present “Through my Eyes” We will survive! on Tuesday 24th February at 14:30 in the Library!
