Goodbye Winchester

It's official. It's over. Michael has just left and it never ceases to amaze me how everything that has been our lives for the past few weeks can be packed up into half a van. The campus has reverted back to what it looked like before the signs and posters and colours and life were added to it, and it is easy to imagine that all the fun, excitement, laughter and learning that has occurred here in the past three weeks never happened. We know it did though. Those of us here, know what an incredible three weeks this has been; how far some of our students have come. What friendships have been forged and what plans have been made.

Thank you students for being such bright young things. I always say that working with young poeple keeps you youthful. Their energy and aspirations are a huge propelling force for us all. Thank you teachers for you ceaseless imagination and drive to do what you do so very very well. Thank you activity leaders for bringing such creativity and inspiration to the campus. Thank you my team; you are incredible and I have loved every second working with you. Thank you everyone at Winchester Enterprises and at the college for your patience and support. Most of all though, thank you Discovery Summer; every year you manage to bring so many people together and create something that touches us all.

Have a wonderful summer everyone and please stay in touch through the Winchester 2012 Discovery Summer facebook page. I will keep you updated with all the information I get from our sponsored child so follow us there.

See you next summer!

Leo
