Today the student group (Alfred, Blair, Harry, Annie, Elena and Lughano) accompanied by Fr. Phillip Nkunika, Parish Priest also School Director and Mr Ken Mughogho, Head Teacher, started off on their journey to Scotland. The first leg is a road journey from Mzuzu to Lilongwe, the capital to catch the flight at 2.15am. on Friday morning. The students have never been in an aeroplane. Now they will experience 3 flights; Lilongwe to Nairobi, Kenya, then onto Amsterdam in Holland and lastly onward bound to Glasgow, Scotland. Everyone was very excited this morning. The students are thrilled to have the opportunity to meet their Scottish friends at St. Matthew's Academy in Saltcoats and I know they won't be disappointed. The group have been practising their traditional dances so hopefully many people will have the opportunity to see them.
I am very excited for them and I can't wait to hear their stories when they return to Mzuzu. This is a chance of a lifetime to strengthen the school partnership and it will be a wonderful educational and personal exerience for each of them. Meanwhile, with the school we have set up a blog for anyone wishing to find out more about St. Peter's Secondary here in Mzuzu. Just look up:-
