Des cantiques de Noël, de la bonne chère, une ambiance amicale pour honorer la fête traditionnelle.
There will be no Highgate Coffee & Computers session on 16 December.
Highgate School has amazing computer facilities, and the friendly students will be there to help sort out your problems. There will also be coffee/tea and cake.
Please note the volunteers at these sessions are pupils from the school, ranging in age from 11 to 18 years old. The School has a duty of care to these young people and would be very grateful if you could be mindful of maintaining appropriate interaction with them. Please consider issues such as your language, your expectations regarding the type of matter you raise with the pupils, and the sort of information that the pupils may see on your documents or particular webpages.
If you have any queries then please don’t hesitate to raise them with the members of staff at the session.
If you plan to come, it would be helpful to know, though it is not obligatory.
We look forward to seeing you this Friday!

A small, friendly Christmas fair set in the beautiful surroundings of Highgate’s Literary & Scientific Institution offering a wide range of antiques and local crafts as well as items from Indie Books (publishers of From Syria With Love), culinary crafts from Kitchen Provisions, hand-made cards from Save Me I’m Wild, children’s clothing from Olive Pip Clothing plus jewellery and textiles from Antonia Graham.
For food-lovers, there will be a Cookbook Swap Shop where you can bring a cookbook from home and swap it for a new one, wine tasting and a literary-themed pop-up Cafe serving cakes, sweets and snacks such as Proust’s Madeleines, Geoffrey Chaucer’s Apple Pie, Walt Whitman’s Coffee Cake, Sausage Rolls from Harry Potter and Turkish Delight from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. For children, there will be a Scavenger Hunt (with goodie bags from Rude Health’s new kids’ range) and a Craft Room where they can create hand-made Christmas cards themed around well known Christmas books.
A fun evening with good food and drink, talking French, to celebrate Epiphany “à la française”.
Would you like a bit of friendly help with your phone, laptop or tablet? Just head to the Highgate School Library for an afternoon of free, informal one-to-one computer familiarisation sessions over a nice cup of coffee. We do tea as well. And cake!
If you don’t yet possess any electronic gadgets, don’t worry, we do and we’d love you to come and play with them.
“This is so wonderful! It’s easy – when you know how! Thank you” says 75 year old Highgate Coffee & Computers friend, who has just worked out how to move all his pictures from his phone to his tablet.
