The Madagascar 2012 Expedition will follow 14 years of world travel and community projects organised by The Coopers' Company and Coborn School. In 2012 a group of 34 year 12 and 13 students will spend one month in Madagascar, with the aim of completing the building of a secondary school block in the Merina village of Andranosoa. Pupils will also spend time experiencing the vulnerable wildlife, people and landscapes of what is a unique country by travelling to the west coast via a 3 day canoe journey along the Tsiribihina river, visiting the Tsingy de Bemaraha, Kirindy Forest and the Avenue de Baobab. As a team, we are hoping to raise £20,000 to cover costs for the charity project. The aim of this blog is to provide information about Madagascar, the team and the fund-raising project. Please visit the pages shown on the right to learn more about the expedition.

PARENTS' MEETING TUESDAY 6TH DECEMBER 7-8PM DINING ROOM

Tuesday 6th December
Dining Room
19.00-20.00

We would like to hold a parents meeting to run through our proposals for Christmas fundraising and give out a kit list from which you may give your relatives a hint for a Christmas present. All students and parents will need to attend unless you are going along to the Christmas concert.

We will be organising the rota for bag packing at Waitrose on the 10th so please come prepared with at least 2 hours that you can give up on this day. We will also be asking for volunteers to go out with the rotary club/round table for their Christmas fundraising.

On sale before and after the meeting will be our luxury Christmas cards in packs of 5 or 10. We will also be selling raffle tickets for the signed England shirt, bracelets and jewellery. Make sure you bring some money along!
