Happy Half term to all our students and host families

The first wave of our guardian students who have a two week half term broke up last Friday. The second wave will be going during this week and most break up on Friday this week. We wish all our students who are flying home a lovely week at home and a safe journey.

All those staying here, we hope you enjoy the comforts of your host family and home cooking. For those who are going to their Bright World Host Family for the very first time, we hope you enjoy it. Of course, it will be strange the first time but we plan for you to stay with this family every time you have a school break and you don't go home so the idea is that gradually it really does become your home from home and you actually look forward to going there!

Thank you to all our lovely host families who take such good care of our guardianship students.
