LEADER The start of the new school year often means a lot of new projects, a lot. So what about a high school newspaper? A newspa-per that would talk about our high school, this place where a thousand of pupils and a hundred of adults su-p e r v i s i n g t h e m (teachers, educators, administrative staff and cleaning opera-tive) meet everyday. This is the point of this paper. It will be avail-able every 6 weeks on the high school web-site and a few copies will be at the school library (CDI). We will talk about the high school news, its school outings and cultural projects, its sports re-sults and we will bring up the main local, na-tional and international news. This newspaper is written in English because it is produced by the 2nde Euro class. We hope you will be there for the next is-sues and maybe you will be interviewed by our team of journal-ists!

Sommaire Leader Mrs Miaria’s interview Lisa’s and lea’s interview The migrants The storm Paris manga MDL Sports Biarritz’s Festival The project « Expression im-médiate »

On October, we met Mrs Miara, the new headmaster of LAD who took her job on the start of this new school year. She was delighted to meet us.We started our interview by asking her a few questions about her professional career. We learnt that she has done a lot of duties in education. She started her career as a philosophy teacher when she was 23 years. Then, 5 years later, she became Chief Education Adviser (CPE) and eventually she has been a headmaster for 10 years. We were curious about her decision to work in Saint Jean d'Angély: "I have chosen St Jean d'Angély because I think it's a beautiful city in a beautiful and sunny region, and there are many good restaurants" she told us. "I am very happy, I have met a team of dynamic teachers in my new school". She added that she would like to know the students a little bit more. We asked her to choose one word to define this start of school year. In her opinion, the best word to qualify these past few weeks is ...."Welcoming". She added: "Here, I feel useful, it's very rewarding, people are nice and warm." We wanted to know more about her. So we ended this interview with a more private question about her youth. When she was a teenager, she was living in Les Ardennes (North of France) and she wanted to become a journalist. But when she started to study philosophy, she changed her mind and started considering to be a philosophy teacher. She never left school ever since!

important year. I have exams at the end of the year, so, I must work hard and be organized. Lea:I thought that I would be lost. I come from Royan, so I didn't know anybody. But it is better now…

→ Was it a moment that you looked forward to ? Lisa : Yes, I missed my friends and I was really ex-cited to see them again. Lea: Really no !(laugh) I feared lessons (bio,etc...) because it is all new to me. → Did you think about it during the holidays ? Lisa : Yes, I thought a lot about the BAC. I was stressed. Lea : No, not at all. A little bite more at the end of the holidays, the last week. → How did you prepare to go back to school ? Lisa : I During the holidays, I read my lessons (of 1ere) because I knew that I'll use them in Term. Lea: I wasn't prepared. I didn't revise anything… → Are there things that are stressing you out or that you fear for this year, based on the first weeks of class ? Lisa: I stress for the exam because it's very impor-tant and I must go to Paris to be a model so I won't have so much time to study... Lea: No, I wasn't stressed because ASSP is cooler and more interesting than last year. → According to you what is positive and nega-tive in going back to school ? (wake up early, new people, new teachers...)

Lisa : The bad side is that it is the end of the holi-days and the work and the good side is to see my friends, choose outfit and resume habits. Lea: The positive side is to meet new people and negative side is to be away from my home. I'm in boarding school this year. → Have you made resolutions for this school year ? (work more regularly...) Lisa :Yes, I'll work regularly and read my lessons

every day. Lea: Hummm... work harder and more regu-larly. → You're in Term, do you have any advice for those who enter in the lower classes? (in 2nd for example) Lisa : Yes, have fun, enjoy and make new

friends because 2nd is easier than 1ere and Term. → You're in 2nd professional, why did you choose to follow a professional course? (school way, competences...) Lea: I chose this class because contact with people is really my passion, helping people is my voca-tion; I did my 3eme twice last year to do what I wanted this year. I do internships and it is cool → What are your goals for this year? Lisa : Having the BAC, after that, I'll be free. Lea: simply to have a successful year. → What was your best and your worst moment of going back to school?

Storm near Matha Near Matha, on Wednesday 10th of October 2015, at around 5 pm, there was a huge storm and even a tor-nado ! This storm was very impressive and did a lot of damage. Thirty houses were destroyed but miraculously, there was no victim. Sonnac was the most damaged zone. It was a EF2 intensity storm, that means a strong one. Storms form from the brutal meeting between hot air and cold air.

We have met a victim of the storm and she has accepted to answer us. Her name is Ilona Grué and she is in TES2 . She lives in Liboreau and she was present during the storm. Her house was damaged, her shed was destroyed and there was other damage. She was im-pressed but she was less shocked than other people and she was reassured because no one was hurt. H. Charpentier, L. Dubois and T. Jourdain

Migration of Syrians

You have all seen this photo, of a little boy who was drown on a beach. It shocked everyone. He was from Syria, that’s where most of the migrants come from, there are 8 thousand migrants that come to Europe almost everyday, among them 18,5% are Syrians. They left their native country be-cause of the civil war. This conflict started in 2011. Most of them tried to go to England but hardly any of them could get though security be-cause there are lots of security checkpoints. So they ended up going to other European countries, like France. But they have nowhere to stay for most of them because they used all their money to come to Europe but now they’re stuck and have no-where to go. The Syrians need Europe’s help and yours. Thanks for reading this article .

The MDL On October 8th 2015, the high school voted to choose the president of the «MDL». There were two teams, the blue team and the yellow one with two different programs. At the end of the day, all the students voted for these two teams, and the winner was the yellow team. But what is the MDL ? Since 1990, in every high school, there has been a Maison Des Lycéens. In the start of the year, students give ten euros to join the MDL, and that makes the budget of the MDL for the year. If you are in the MDL, you can benefit of many things : a television, a pool (billiard table), a table football, an fair trade bar, a home-cinema and a music room. And finally, you can take part in cultural ou-tings, shows and concerts of different artists.

BIARRITZ'S FESTIVAL Early in the morning, on the 30th of September, a bus filled with 46 students and teachers left St Jean for the city of Biarritz. The two classes of 1ère and Terminal L went to Biarritz to the annual Latin-American film festival. At the festival, the students saw many movies from lots of different countries: Mexico, Chili, Ecuador, Brazil, Guatemala and Argentina. There were different kinds of movies : documentaries, comedies and dramas. They met the author Luis Sepulueda, a novelist from Chili but some students didn't understand the interview and the movies. In the evening, the students had free time to walk around and explore the festival village. They tasted typical latin-american food such as Argentinian empanadas. They had also a bit of free time each day to explore the city and do some shopping. Lauren Easum, a student of 1ère L said : « Biarritz is a very nice and pleasant city and all the students enjoyed the trip and would go again next year. »
