ZOA Lock-in! (A charity event for Zambian Orphans Appeal)

Heather and Azzaya raised lots of sponsorship money for being ‘locked-in’ at school last night. Around 60 students signed up to eat and play games in the same way they would in Zambia. Heather and Azzaya had a great time sleeping overnight in the Cervin Building and the money they raised will go towards the maintaining and running of an orphanage in Zambia, known as the ‘Serenje Orphans Childrens Home’ (SOCH).

BBQ and Swimming Party!

Today was the nicest Sunday! I really liked the swimming pool because it was refreshing! After the pool Mr Usher, our Director of Boarding made us a BBQ with lots of meat and chips-it was amazing! But tonight we have to revise for all our exams tomorrow and that is not very fun. By: (Katia Kalinina G7)

My day was Awesome because there was a lot of meat in the BBQ made by Mr Usher. I love meat! And I love summer too so it was a great day but now I have to study for my Science exam. 🙁    (By: Anna Sedykh G8)
