Meet the girls at YHS
Sheena Hogarth, Lily Anderson, paige Moorby, Georgia Lacey, Ellie Moriss, Ellie Ridley,Caitlin Elliott, Jess Pownall and Megan Steel are all excited to be getting involved in this partnership.
I asked them a few questions so that you could find out a bit about them:
Q. Where do you live and what's it like?
A. I live on the outskirts of the City of York in a place called Acomb. I like living here because there are lots of parks but if I want to find some good shops then I would have to travel into the main city centre. (Georgia)
Q. Tell me about your family. Do you have any brothers and sisters?
A. I have two brothers and two sisters. We all live close to the school that I attend. (Lilly)
Q. What is your school like?
York High School is a fairly new school ( made from two other schools joining together) that is situated in the middle of our local community. It is a large brick building with its own sports centre including a swimming pool, climbing wall, astro- turf and gym. Inside the main school there is a library with lots of computers and every classroom has a multi-media whiteboard that helps to make the lessons more interesting. (Ellie)
Q. What would you like to do when you leave school?
A. I would love to be a professional athlete as I am already a sports leader in school. If not I would like to work in the beauty industry. (Caitlin)
Q. What sort of music do you listen to?
A. I like pop music. My favourite group are 'One Direction'. They are amazing!! (Shenna)
Q. What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
A. I like going horseriding and I cycle everywhere which helps me keep fit:) (Caitlin)
Q. What's your favourite food?
A. I like all different types of food but my most favourite food is pizza. (Megan)
Q. Do you have any special talents?
A. I like to sing on the stage and I played an orphan in the school production of Annie recently. (Jess)
and lastly..
Q.Do you like animals and have any pets?
A. Yes, I have a dog, a love bird (which are quite rare in England ) and two fish! (Ellie)
So.. thats all for now. A very brief introduction to the girls but as a group we are excited about getting to make friends from a different country and finding out about our different cultures.
We break up for our Summer holidays next week but are looking forward to speaking on Skype when we come back to school in September:)

Excited to get started!
Hello!
My name is Michaela Cox. I work in the Key Stage 4 Base at York High School offering support to 14-16yr old pupils. I enjoy my work here and am especially excited to be able to get involved in this partnership which I hope will provide opportunities for all involved to:
- Learn and be inspired by how education works in a different country
- Develop leadership skills and put them into practice
- Gain friendships that cross cultural boundaries and positively influence our world view
Welcome To The York High School Trinity College Nabingo Blog
Hello my name is Rod Sims and I am the Deputy Headteacher at York High School. I have been at York High school for 5 years and i am delighted to have the chance to work with Trinity College Nabingo. I am married with two children Jack and Lucy who are 11 and 9 years old. I wanted top be part of this project for several reasons.
1. To know more about what life is like in Uganda
2. To broaden my mind by talking to people from another country
3. To encourage the girls at York High School to have the ambition and confidence to make changes that make the world a better place.
I hope that we will have a lasting and productive relationship with Trinity College
