At the Honours Function on 18 October 2007, we celebrated the achievements of our pupils and acknowledged the contribution they have made to the success of the College. Mr Peter Laburn, our guest speaker, gave an interesting perspective on the global trends and the impact it is going to have on education. The rise of “China” and the colonising of Africa by these countries could have far-reaching implications on the way we do business and, in particular, on education.
