OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP
Meet our Headteacher,
Jon Wayth
With extensive experience and a passion for education, Jon Wayth brings a wealth of knowledge to El Limonar International School Villamartín.
His leadership embodies a commitment to fostering holistic growth and a dynamic learning environment for students.
“As Headteacher of ELIS Villamartín, as a teacher and as a parent, I base my work on a single, fundamental belief: children can, and will receive many gifts in life, but the only one that will truly stay with them forever is a high-quality education. We clearly see that the education we provide for our students must, first and foremost, open as many doors as possible for their lives after school has finished.”

Technology with purpose 💻💚
A few weeks ago, we donated computer equipment to Aidemar, an association devoted to supporting the care and personal development of people with disabilities in the Region of Murcia.
Today, we’re happy to share these images kindly sent to us from the Aidemar Day Centre in San Pedro del Pinatar and the SEPAD Centre (Service for the Promotion of Personal Autonomy) in San Javier, where the donated equipment is already being used in classrooms as a learning tool.
It’s truly rewarding to see these resources put to such good use. Our sincere thanks go to Aidemar for the incredible work they do every day. We are proud to keep connecting education, values and community! 💫

🎨 In January, we had the pleasure of welcoming Nicola Eastaugh, who led an inspiring weaving workshop with our GCSE and A-Level Art & Design students. 🧶 Students had an amazing time exploring weaving looms, experimenting with different techniques and working with a wide range of materials. 🌈
They were challenged to think about colours that represented their feelings about their environment, leading to some stunning pieces of artwork. ✨ These beautiful creations have now come together to form a gorgeous display within our school! 🎉
Even better – this work will soon be exhibited at the Park of Nations, so the local community can admire the incredible talent of our students.
🌍🎨 We’re so proud of what they’ve achieved!
🎨 En enero, tuvimos el placer de recibir a Nicola Eastaugh, quien dirigió un inspirador taller de tejido artístico con nuestros estudiantes de Arte y Diseño de GCSE y A-Level. 🧶 Los estudiantes tuvieron una experiencia fantástica explorando los telares, experimentando con diferentes técnicas y trabajando con una gran variedad de materiales. 🌈
Se les retó a pensar en los colores que representaban sus sentimientos sobre su entorno, lo que dio lugar a piezas de arte impresionantes. ✨ Estas hermosas creaciones ahora se han unido para formar una preciosa exposición dentro de nuestro colegio. 🎉
Lo mejor de todo: ¡este trabajo pronto se exhibirá en el Parque de las Naciones, para que la comunidad local también pueda admirar el increíble talento de nuestros estudiantes!
🌍🎨 Estamos muy orgullosos de lo que han logrado.
