CAN
YOU HELP!! I received this letter from Heidi Ramsay who is "Climbing
Everest!!"
Dear
Wendy
My name is Heidi Ramsay and I have taken over Tamsyn Bond's position
of chair of the BPSA. They are rather large shoes to fill and
I hope I am up to the job. I wondered if the Old Girls would like
to support us in our big fundraising challenge this year which
is climbing Everest albeit via the main stairs. The whole school
will be involved from nursery to 6th form as we climb the stairs
almost 2000 times in a day in order to scale the height of Everest.
Each child will be given a sponsor form and information pack and
we hope to have the whole school even teachers and admin staff
participating in the challenge. We are aiming to raise £8,000
to go towards a large project possibly a new playground/basketball
pitch other suggestions are coming thick and fast. We are looking
outside the school for corporate funding and will be approaching
parents with businesses to make a donation of sponsorship in return
for advertising. We are trying to combine as much education into
the day as possible and have the support of the library for websites,
The Harbour Bookshop in St Ives for books and a donation of 20%
of sales on the day. We are hoping to have cardiac monitoring
in the form of blood pressure and heart rate monitoring from cardio
specialists from Mounts Bay Gym in Newlyn. My own pharmacy in
St Just is aiming to attract £500 in sponsorship from our
wholesalers. We hope to have the support of Culdrose in the form
of personnel and equipment as well as sponsorship if we can swing
it. We hope to make the local tv news as well as the cornishman
etc. We are dedicating the challenge to Sir Edmond Hillary in
honour of his life achievements. As you can see there is a lot
of positive feedback and excitement regarding the challenge. I
hope I have whetted your appetite enough for you to approach the
alumni for both ideas and where possible hard cash! We are also
looking for a well known figure/celebrity who may have connections
to Everest for a photo call and support if you have any ideas.
Kindest Regards
Heidi Ramsay.

AGM
We
again had a wonderful luncheon at the school and enjoyed looking
around the School and the grounds. The weather was a perfect Autumn
afternoon.
Mr
Dobson addressed the meeting and said the school has now grown to
360 pupils and there is a waiting list for some years. The results
again have been exceptional and the pupils are encouraged to expand
their horizons "risk without fear".

THE
BOLITHO SCHOOL
These
photos have come to light of the grounds and we thought you would find
them interesting. Before the building was used as a School it was the
Riviera Palace Hotel and these are postcards sent from the Riviera Palace
Hotel. The first photos shows the steps in front of the building that
are still there today but I am afraid most of the grounds are now sold
off for building.This was a postcard dated 10 September 1907. We are not
sure where the palm trees were situated.
If
you would like anything added to the site, please contact us by clicking
on the email contact above. If you have any articles that you would like
included in this Web Site or in our annual Newsletter we would be only
too pleased to hear from you. Have you met any old school friends and
where did you meet them?
