On Friday 5th July Ms Whitworth and Mr Harris took 28 students from Year 7,8 and 9 down to London to visit a variety of places of worship. First stop was the Buddhapadipa Temple where students were splashed with some holy water to wake them up after the journey down and to prepare them to learn about the Buddhist way of life. This stop also included a brief meditation and an act of bowing towards the teachers as a thank you and sign of respect (Ms Whitworth is now considering incorporating this into her daily classroom routine).

They then headed to the East London Mosque to learn about the five pillars and how the mosque stands as a community centre too, welcoming people from all over the world (as well as London!). The evening was then topped off with a visit to the theatre to watch Wicked, a musical which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

On Saturday morning the group heading over to the beautiful Neasden mandir where students were lucky enough to witness the Aarti ceremony.

All of the students were an absolute credit to the school, and we very proud of the conduct of each and every one of them.
