WHOLE SCHOOL LETTER (22)

YEAR 6 CAMP - CORRECTION
The yellow letter (no.19) sent at the start of January, mistakenly put the Year 6 camp dates as 5 – 9 July, camp week is on Mon 12 – Fri 16 July 2010. Sorry for any confusion.

MY TRIP TO LIBERIA
The Governors have kindly agreed to give me time out of school to visit Liberia in West Africa. I will be going out with SIM (Serving in Mission), the same organisation that Miss Long and Mr Trythall, 2 of our ex-teachers now work for.
With my husband, Will, and a small team we will be assessing the needs of communities in this country, and my particular focus will be education. Following a devastating civil war most schools have been destroyed and only 30% of the children are in school. I am very moved and humbled by the plight of these people where so many are now struggling to make a better life for themselves. I hope that the little I can contribute will be of some help! I will be returning to school on Tuesday 2 February (definitely older and possible wiser!)
