School Teachers


Now that school is out and our regular students are all vacationing around Europe, I'm missing them! Though some of them are a real handful, but they're also a lot of fun. Here are a few pix.

Since I spent most of my Primary School hours with Year 3, I was invited on their field trip to local Roman Ruins.


We have 55 nationalities at school and for International Day they all get excited about dressing up. These are local kids in their traditional costumes. Many of the girls are shadowed by their drivers because of the family gold they wear!


As well as teaching, Jared also organizes most musical events for the school. He arranged for a traditional band to play for International Day. Here you can see the bagpipe-like instrument. There are also several drummers, and they all twirl in circles, making their white skirts billow like dirvishes'.

Jared also directs and/or accompanies musical events, such as the end-of-year Primary Concert.


The past four months were really more than any one person should have been given. Jared truly amazed me (and the administration, staff and students). But it definitely wore us both out.
