As is tradition at Princess Helena, the day after our London trip gives everybody a well deserved lie-in before the end of course photo is taken on our sunken lawn. A massive thankyou to Lorenzo for offering up his brilliant photography skills (and his camera) to take the photo!

With  the second week of PHC2 being well under way, we thought it was about time to take some class photos!

We’re halfway through the second course at PHC which means one thing – afternoon tea!!

Our students were treated to a quintissentially British treat by our Course Director, Laine.

As part of our excursion to St Albans, our students competed in “the potato challenge” where they had to use their newly improved English skills to swap a potato with other items. When they had swapped, they then needed to keep swapping with a prize going to the best team!

We had some great performances, with multiple groups turning their potatoe into things worth more than £10! However, our clear winners were able to turn their potato into a Cath Kidston bag – worth £40!!

Slightly late post, but on Monday evening our students participated in a scavenger hunt! We thought this was a good way for the students to find their way around their new surroundings while having fun at the same time!

With the sun shining at Princess Helena, our students were able to choose leaf paintng as one of our afternoon activities – taking place in our beautiful lavender garden! We can’t decide if we like the artwork or the view more!

Wednesday night saw our end of course disco! Here are some top snaps taken by our great student photographer, Emma!
