🌟 SWISS GOODBYE 🌟

Our lovely students from Switzerland have enjoyed a year at Wyke as part of their Bilingual Matura year abroad. During this time, they've studied four full A-levels and an EPQ - a heavy workload that they have taken in stride.

This cohort contains some of the most capable, friendly, and independent students we have had the pleasure of having as part of our amazing community! We hope you've all enjoyed your year exploring the country and its culture with Wyke at the heart of it all!

Our Coordinator for our Vaud students wished them a final farewell in French: "Merci tellement de tous vos efforts cette année. Ça m’a fait plaisir de faire votre connaissance et je vous souhaite bonne chance dans tout ce que vous ferez à l’avenir."
