The annual visit by Trustees included visits to Beacon Schools, possible new Beacon Schools, and organisations who are considering sponsorship of the Beacon Programme.
The Trustees Visit was planned to coincide with the Leadership Day. This year the Trustees were accompanied by Jean Cooke, the new UK Co-ordinator for The Beacon Equity Trust.
The Trustees visited Beacon Schools and met individually with all the Beacon Scholars. Because of prior commitments, some Scholars had one-to-ones with the Trustees at the Leadership Day.
At St. Andrew’s Prep we met our Scholars and said goodbye to Headmaster Mr. Paddy Moss, who is going to a new position in the UK.
After a meeting with the Acting Head of St. Andrew’s Senior School & College, Mr. Andrew Boulle, and Mentor Priscilla Jean Louis, we went on to Pembroke and met Headmistress Mrs. Deborah Boyd-Davis, Mentor Emma Laing and, of course, our Beacon Scholars.
The rest of the week was spent visiting Peponi House, and then in many meetings – with Heads of schools interested in joining as Beacon Schools, and with possible sponsors for both the Schools and University Scholarships.
