Starting ‘big school’ for the first time

Starting ‘big school’ for the first time

Back to school

At the beginning of the year, we welcomed no fewer than 18 new children to our Home – seven of them have just started school for the first time. We also had two children starting high school. They grow up so fast!

As you can imagine, early January was a whirlwind of activity … enrolling the new kids in school, sorting out uniforms, making sure everyone has sharp new pencils, erasers, pens, crayons, rulers and notebooks.

A big thank you to our wonderful friends and supporters for helping to make sure each and every child has everything they need to succeed in the classroom and on the sports field this year.
