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.
Cici Chan, Manager of Hong Kong Overseas Studies Centre, Hong Kong
Hong Kong Overseas Studies Centre is one of Bright World's longest serving agencies and for the past 5 years has unfailingly won the place of top agent for Bright World Education and Bright World Guardianships. From day 1 of our existence, the team at HKOSC have always supported us so closely. We have placed hundreds of Hong Kong students successfully into UK boarding schools together over the years and have acted as UK guardian to many of them too, staying in touch and making sure that their entire stay in the UK is a positive one.
We were so delighted, therefore that one of our favourite member of staff, Cici Chan, who has been with the company for as long as we can remember, won our prize. Well done Cici. You deserve this as we love working with you and you are so professional always.
We were also delighted that the other prize was won by Winsome, the Manager of HKOSC's Macau office. Below is a picture of Winsome winning her prize.
We raise a glass to you all and here's to another successful year in 2010.
