Five Chile Visitors

This week came the return visit from Chile. You may remember that Kevin went off on a study visit to Chile in the Autumn term, and this week the principals of the schools he visited there came to visit us at Shimna. So that the principals would have the same range of overview, our fellow Specialist Schools Grosvenor Grammar School, Belfast High School and the Model School, Belfast along with fellow Integrated school, Lagan College, all hosted a visit from the group. The principals also mysterously disappeared into Kevin's house on Tuesday to shout at the television! I wasn't invited! A climb up to Dundrum Castle and a swift constitutional along the promenade helped work up their appetite for a meal at Seasalt. Thursday sees them heading back half way across the world. An added bonus is that Sophie, our French tutor, was able to make contacts to help her find a placement for a year abroad next year as part of her languages degree at Queens.
