South Africa Partnership

When: 3 weeks in the summer holiday
Who: 6/VI
i/c: AJL

August 2009 saw the first stage of a new link with Build the Nations, a South African based charity, and the School of Tomorrow in Shayandima, Limpopo province. This partnership affords the exciting opportunity for Sixth Formers to raise funds for the charity and then spend three weeks at the school itself during the summer holiday. Works include projects in the local area and over the border in Mozambique, such as building/refurbishment of school facilities and bringing essential aid to areas of need. This trip is ideal for boys wishing to carry out some voluntary work overseas whilst experiencing the exciting sights and sounds of a beautiful region of South Africa.

In addition there are potential gap year opportunities associated with this partnership. Recent years have proved hugely successful in terms of the benefits to both Build the Nations and to the boys who have learned so much during the trip.
