stice. The main building (pictured) is just as unique on the inside as the outside with many little corridors and winding staircases (sorry Harry Potter fans but there aren't any moving staircases, or talking hats that I saw). The first room we went in was a conference type room used for debates but the walls were huge book cases and there was an enormous fireplace in it as well. The Chapel is a good size but not huge, but it is really neat nonetheless. I will get my meals provided for me everyday in the main building as well. For a small fee of 8,000 pounds per semester (there are 3 in a year) you can send your children here and they can be apart of an alumni list that includes the likes of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.As for the Physical Education department, it is situated in a health club that is on the campus. I am allowed to use any of the facilities and take part in any of the classes. They have 3 AstroTurf fields
spread throughout the campus and a number of grass fields as well. I will be teaching younger pupils in the mornings on an 8 day rotation and coaching/refing/score keeping the older pupils in the afternoon in a variety of sports (rugby, lacrosse, cricket, etc.). I am basically expected to be at the school from 8 am to 6 pm and to help out where ever possible with whatever sports need help. The school has a week off in February so I will get that
as well, with such long days I may already need the break after only two weeks of placement. Needless to say it is all pretty exciting! I start tomorrow morning. Just thought I would give everyone an update I have attached the websites for both the school and the Health Club if you want to take a look! The School:
