World Challenge 3 – Destination Southern Tanzania

1 Comment

The 3rd Johnstone High School World Challenge expedition has been launched at S4 and S5 assemblies and then to interested parents at the Information Evening held in the school on 31st August.

Potential challengers and their parents/guardians now have 2 weeks to decide whether to take the plunge and sign up.

Applications should be completed either online using the designated code provided on the night or by completing a paper application form.

Entry deadline day is September 14th.  Paper forms should be handed to Mr McGivern in the Computing and Business Education department where forms (and the code for online entry) can also be collected if required.

It’s going to be awesome!

Here’s a video of one of the 2 teams who spent 3 weeks in Borneo this summer:

A newsletter of the team’s experiences will be produced shortly and published on the blog.

Bag2School Collection for World Challenge

Leave a comment

Team Borneo have arranged a pick-up with Bag2School, scheduled for the 5th of December 2013.

If you have any old clothes, bedding, hats, shoes, belts, curtains or soft toys then please hand them into the school at the computing department.  Special bags are available for collection on request, but if you have any unwanted items then bring them in to the school in any old bin bag and the team will sort them out appropriately.

Pupils bringing in bags will earn points for their house in the annual house competition.

Thank you for any support in this matter.

Team Nepal have completed the first World Challenge expedition from Johnstone High School. The whole experience proved to be a wonderful success for all involved.  The team made an excellent impact in Nepal, making many friends along the way and contributing in a very positive manner, such as the wonderful work that was done in Nagajuna boarding school.

Read all about their adventures in the newsletter attached at the bottom of this post.  Please feel free to leave a comment about the expedition.

After the tremendous success of this inaugural expedition, it is with great excitement that World Challenge 2 – Team Borneo is launched to pupils currently in S4 and S5, ready for departure come the summer of 2015.
