On Saturday it was the visitor day at Sonrise Boarding School where I spent a lot of time in 2007 as Pam was still chief matron there. I was very excited to see some of the children - there were a couple specially who I remembered very well. Immaculate, in this picture with me made Tracy and I laugh such a lot when we were trying to teach her PE. She was actually quite a naughty girl...and there was no way she was going to exert herself in any way for a PE lesson! She also used to tell us she was 30, and white! At the same time as having this wicked personality she was also quite shy and awkward, but two years down the line, she has really matured and she even tells me she is behaving herself! She was so happy to see me...and she couldn't have been more surprised! The other little girl...who is not so little any more who was happy to see me was Jennifer. She was only in P1 in 2007 and didn't speak brilliant English, but I was able to explain to her that she had the same name as my sister, and Jennie in England wrote her a letter with a photo, and little Jennifer wrote back. She is now in P3 and introduced me to her Mum who had come to visit that day. I remember how she cried when I left - it was lovely to see her again.
Below is a picture of Flora (chief matron at the High School now...when we were there she was in Primary) and Pam. One day we are all hoping that they will work together again...if only Flora can be persuaded to give up working as a school matron, and come and look after younger children...she says when Pam has boarding children she'll consider it. She would just be such an amazing and trustworthy addition to the staff team here.
