thank you

Dear parents and students,
Mrs Prudden, Mr Stott and I came back from Barcelona Friday morning, safe and sound, together with all the trip students, welcomed by the parents at the ISG parking lot. Unfortunately not all suitcases had arrived in Bahrain and crossing the Saudi border had costed us about 2 hours, but for the rest the trip back home had been comfortable. Thanks to the very positive attitude and responsible behavior of a brilliant group of enjoying and enjoyable students, and an interesting programme, I think we can call the trip a big success. My personal favorites were the football match in the atmospheric Nou Camp stadium, the classical guitar concert in the beautiful concert hall Palau de la Musica Catalana and the Abba musical in Spanish. But even more I enjoyed the students having a great time, pushing their limits, asking spontaneous questions at tours, enthusiastically participating in every event, helping each other, becoming friends or dancing/listening to music performed live. They’ve had a wide range of experiences which will be part of their cultural baggage the rest of their lives.
I’d like to thank especially Mrs Bland, Mrs Prudden, Mr Stott, Mr Hardcastle, Mrs Weaver and Mr Johnson. And of course all the colleagues for the extra work such a trip brings with it. Also I thank the parents for letting their children go on this trip and last but not least the fantastic students themselves! If I forgot to mention somebody, I hereby apologize, but bear in mind that I am thankful to you too.
Muchas gracias!
Willem Snieder.
