On Tuesday we were very pleased to welcome special guests to our school to celebrate Nelson Mandela Day and the attitude of helping and giving it promotes.Guests at a special assembly included the High Commissioner for South Africa, Anthony Mongalo who spoke about the life of Nelson Mandela, and James Bannatyne, an All White at the recent World Cup in South Africa. James talked about his experiences.
Volunteer Services Abroad workers spoke about their programmes to help others.
After the assembly a group of students played football with James and created three ‘Friendship Cards’ with painted hands to be displayed here, at VSA, and at the South African High Commission.
