12 5th grade students spent a weekend within the walls of Ford Castle, an old castle from 1278, at a new Round Square International Conference organised by Westfied School in New Castle. “Finding Friends and Facing Fears” is the theme of the conference, which brings together children from schools on four continents. Divided into 8 teams named after famous UK castles, they took part in a variety of activities that challenged them to overcome their fears. We are delighted that Paradis students prove their team-working skills and that they put into practice the leadership qualities acquired at our school.
