Brittany Wong - Hong Kong Schools Speech Festival winner!

We would like to share with you a big achievement by Brittany Wong. Brittany is the daughter of our top agent Jimmy in Hong Kong - HKOSC - with whom we advise and place hundreds of students every year into UK boarding schools.

Brittany came first in her group at the recent Hong Kong Schools Speech Festival, which took place last Tuesday - a fine achievement, as she was competing against 60 other students in the same group! Her winning speech was "Jack" by Daphne Kitching, about her pet dog being her best friend.

We think that Brittany will soon be winning scholarships to study in the UK!! Congratulations to Brittany, and her very proud Mummy and Daddy.

James Foster attends the Alphe Education Workshop in St Petersburg

The view from the Astoria Hotel, the venue for the Alphe Education Workshop held last weekend in St Petersburg.




James met many of our existing education agent partners who were all very pleased with the service that Bright World Guardianships has provided this year to our students.

James also met several new agencies and was proud to inform them of our Guardianship Service. He was also pleased to be able to demonstrate online our new Parent Portal that has revolutionised the way we communicate with our parents regarding the progress of their child. For them it is our own private Facebook page onto their pastoral life at school including a brilliant photo gallery keeping parents in touch with what is going on.

The next entry on the Portal will be our Host Family Care Plans - produced each time a student stays with a host family for the first time and to ensure our Child Protection procedures are followed to the letter.

Bright World at the Study World Conference

This is Lana and James, Directors of Bright World Guardianships at the Study World Conference in London - Lana is committing to some advertising spend with a new agent for us in the Ukraine, 'Business Link'.

The photograph was taken by Ekaterina Shapovalova, their client manager. She took this photograph so we would never be able to deny agreeing to the spend!

We very much look forward to working with them in the future, and being UK guardians to their students at UK boarding schools.

Easter greetings

We wanted to take this opportunity of welcoming all our guardianship students back from their Easter holiday. Apart from a few delayed flights all our students have arrived back safe and sound with no glitches. This is due to the fantastic team of drivers that we have and also Jane Forester and Carol Gill's hard work.

Communication with our students and their parents and agents is vital for the smooth running of our guardianship programme, especially if there are delays or flights change.

Thank you to all our students, parents and agents for their help in making this Easter holiday departure and arrival back a huge success.

We are now gearing up for the summer term, host families in place and all arrangements made.

Happy Easter and here's to a lovely warm summer.
