2015 Welcome Meal

What a wonderful time we had at our

2015 annual Welcome Meal

last night.  Including my marvellous student helpers

(Aiste, Amira, Andrew, Basel, Eadom, Marcello,

Mohamed, Mr Sharsheer & Naomi)

54 students from 23 different nations attended the event!! 

Nations represented were: Belgium, China, Cyprus, Ecuador, Egypt, Ethiopia, France, Ghana, Hungary. Italy, India, Jordan, Kenya, Lithuania, Mauritius, Nigeria, Pakistan, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Thailand, Uganda and the UK.

Between our main course and tea & cakes we had a quiz. After some arguing over scoring, for which the adjudicators needed to be consulted, our winning team was announced.

There are a plethora of people to thank. People, without whom, this event simply couldn't happen.  The names are many and I'm afraid of missing someone but my thanks go to all those who provided home baking, those who transported students to and from the venue, all those lovely ladies who beavered away in the kitchen, and those from both St Mary's Island and St Mark's churches who helped to make the students feel so welcomed. Thanks also go to St Mary's Island Primary school for the use of their hall. Last but by no means least, a very special thank you to Janet Mann - you're a star!!!
