Posted: 07 July 2019

Arrivals Day

It’s been a busy few days and we are pleased to announce that (after some delays) all students have now arrived safely in Morocco. All students were met by our wonderful team of adult leaders at the airport and escorted back to the hotel to relax, play cards and get to know the rest of the team.

About the team

Our project team is led by Carlos from UWC, Singapore supported by Courtney from St. Mildred’s-Lightbourn, Michelle from Woodleigh School, Freddy from Colegio Gran Bretaña, Ambikesh from the Doon School, Shelley from Bishop’s College, Brenton from Westminster School, Scott from St Philip’s College and Tui our nurse from Ashbury College.

We are excited to have a total of 62 Round Square students from schools across the globe join us on this project including; Ashbury College, Ballarat Grammar, Bayview Glen, Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School, Cate School, Chadwick School, Christ’s College, Colegio De Inglaterra, Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Enka Schools, Felsted School, Fountain Valley School Of Colorado, Glenlyon Norfolk School, Gordonstoun School, Hackley School, Herlufsholm Skole, King’s Academy, Mayo College, Radford College, Roedean School, Schule Schloss Salem, Stiftung Louisenlund, St Cyprian’s School, St. Philip’s College, Transylvania College, The Athenian School, The Doon School, The Marvelwood School, UWCSEA, Vidya Devi Jindal School, Vivek High School and Wyoming Seminary.

Day one

After a much needed good nights rest the team started their day with a hearty breakfast, followed by a little shopping to grab any last minuet necessities. “Students are feeling good and all are in good spirits,” mentioned adult leader Michelle.

In the afternoon the whole team transferred to the local community, which will be their new home for the best part of two weeks. They received a warm welcome and an induction to the project, house rules and a delicious, traditional lunch – which spanned nearly three hours!

Happy Birthday

And finally, a very happy birthday to Sille from the whole RSIS team and everyone at Round Square. The team celebrated her birthday this morning over breakfast with a yummy cake! We hope it was a birthday to remember.
