Bardale High's two learners and Maths teacher are so looking forward to being in Cheshire on the Wirral soon!

Please Please Please Home Affairs in Pretoria can you get those passport through today... These talented Mfuleni learners have so much to look forward to but the burden of all the paper work - ID documents, and the ream of information for the UK visa is a very daunting process. Wirral Boys and Girls Grammar schools and Poole Grammar have a full program ahead for Bardale, Sans Souci and The Cape Academy as well as three twins from Windhoek in Namibia. The UK twin learners have fundraised for two learners per school to accompany a teacher.  Thank you to Oonah, Mike and Andy in the UK who lead the Afritwin program in each school, despite a huge own workload!
