Mummy was only allowed to show them where to meet Josh - and then leave !
The boys sang a number of songs and then all 4 Houses performed a Haka before the grandparents were treated to morning tea. The boys then took their 'special' people back to their classrooms to show them their work, over to the library and to the DCM room (computer room).
From all accounts from Grandma, Granney Cranney, Uncle Apples & Aunty Margaret ... they all simply loved the morning and could not speak more highly of Scots College, the boys, the facilities, the morning .. and, of course, Joshua.
In fact, the following day, a hand-written thankyou letter arrived in the mail to Joshua from Uncle Apples & Aunty Margaret that read ...
"Dear Joshua ... what an adventure and thrill it was for us to visit you at your school, and what a school it is! We thoroughly enjoyed attending, meeting your teachers and pals, and seeing where you spend so much time.
It was very difficult for us at your age - there was a war on and bombs were falling and fires everywhere; quite exciting really for a 7 year old, but a very frightening and serious time.
Enjoy your school days Josh - they are important - but more than anything, be happy and relish the chance your Mum and Dad have given you at Scots. It was a real pleasure and honour to be with you today - thank you so much for inviting us.
