Trip to Chester
Sunday 13th Sept 09

On Sunday 13th September all the students from Lugard House visited the historic Roman city of Chester. Leaving Rossall School at 10am we arrived in Chester ready for lunch. 

.

The sun was shining and the streets were busy with people enjoying a relaxing Sunday, sitting in cafes, shopping and enjoying the sun. We walked around the city centre and saw the cathedral, the town hall and the famous wall surrounding the city centre.  

.

The students had the afternoon to themselves to enjoy the cultural sights of the city, go to the cafes and do some shopping.  Some of our students found it strange that the shops were open on a Sunday, a tradition not typical in their home countries. 

.

We enjoyed a walk by the river where there was a traditional English brass band playing in the bandstand. Many people were relaxing by the river, going on boat trips and strolling along the river bank.

.

We returned to Rossall School in the later afternoon, ready for dinner. 

.

A great day out was enjoyed by all.

Happy New Year

Chinese New Year

 

On Thursday 11th February the ISC held a Chinese New Year party to celebrate the Year of the Tiger.  A traditional chinese banquet was laid on by a local chinese restaurant.  Students and teachers enjoyed a feast of traditional dumplings, spare ribs, spicy beef, noodles and rice and many more chinese specialities. Delicious!
 
The ISC was decorated with red walls, the colour for luck in China.  This symbolises good luck to all for the forthcoming year. Chinese lanterns were hung across the rooms and the walls were covered with pictured of tigers. 
 
The meal was followed by a traditional chinese dragon dance through the grounds of Rossall.  This was led by Mr Clinton Baker and all the students helped carry the dragon round the school.  This was a great spectacle!
 
Finally the students held a disco in the ISC hall and danced the evening away.

The Climbing Trip:
Preston’s West View Leisure Centre. 

Climbing is a physically and mentally challenging sport that anyone can try out. Once you’ve had that first taste of success you’ll be hooked and determined to go higher next time.

Preston Indoor Climbing Facility is a great place to get started in climbing. It is often used for National Climbing Competitions and as a result the centre is top quality.
