Over the weekend some of our boys went to help prepare presents for this year’s gift box appeal.The annual gift box project is a project where students choose to participate by donating either money or items. This includes items like toothbrush, soap, school supplies, socks, toys, chocolate and etc. Essential items that make their lives easier. The boxes are sent to needy children in orphanages, schools and hospitals in Eastern Europe who are living below poverty.
This is a great event and the boys were delighted to be part of this. It shows that we as a community are willing to help and do something nice for other people, no matter what country or background they come from.
This also means that some of our boys have completed their individual projects for the second Wellbeing Pillar – Protecting against bullying and promoting diversity.

And we have finally set up our community service project: cycling as much as possible, raising funds for World Bicycle Relief, an NGO that takes bicycles to under developed populations in Africa in need of easy long-distance transport. Watch the boys cycle for a good cause !
Francisco was our brave first cyclist, he didn’t even break a sweat ! A modern day Hercules
Albion was our second next hero. An Achilles without the pesky foot !!
Boris cycled quite fast in such a short span. Getting too close to the sun aren’t you Daedalus !!
Max struggled quite a lot after his 2 minutes on the bike. Looks like our Odysseus needs some more training before reaching Ithaca.
Iyewona proves that slow and steady… is sometimes only slow and steady. Careful Pheidippides will speed past you , blink and you’ll miss it !
