In my line of work I have taken tourists, tour operators, photographers and media from all over the world around this beautiful city I call home. This past week I got to do a different kind of group. A group of grade 6 schoolkids from St Dominic Priory in the city. At first I didn’t really know what to expect and was slightly hesitant but as I was asked by a very good friend I decided to give it a bash. I was pleasantly surprised by what I encountered. A well behaved bunch of kids who went to each place with enthusiasm and amazement. Some of the places we went you could clearly see that only a handful of them had been there. The oooh’s and wow’s when we went into the Public Library was audible and there I realised that not all kids were as fortunate as mine to have somebody take them to these places. (See Kids Adventure – Exploring PE’s history). In the picture the group is posing at the Prester John Monument behind the City Hall.
Looks like great fun. What lucky kids!
