Last night I had a Pizza Party with the Development Department at our school so that they could meet and get to know the First Years who are on scholarship from the school. Though I was selected by my national committee I’m on half scholarship via the school. I found out last night I’m sponsored by the past students, a few hundred of them give between 10 to 20 pounds a month for students to attend the school. One of the girls in my house is sponsored by the teachers who give part of their salary to allow one student to come (her name is Sara from Jordan, she is also from a national committee and didn’t realize this). There should be about 25 of us I think in the group but last night there were only eleven at the meeting, quite a few students haven’t yet arrived because of VISA issues.
It was really nice to meet part of the Development Department, they all seem very kind and have told us at any point we are welcome to come and visit their office. They also mentioned that when big events happen they usually ask us first if we’d like to be apart of them. I don’t want to type the wrong royal family out but they mentioned that for the 50th anniversary a royal family may be coming to the College and we’d be the first people that they’d ask to do tours of the grounds etc. Which would be awesome.
