Belgium trip thank-you

It has been an absolute pleasure and privilege to take these wonderful pupils to Belgium this week.
They have performed two incredible concerts at Ghent and Blankenberge and we are all so incredibly
proud of them all.

All 43 pupils have been a credit to Gillespies (and 2 from Boroughmuir!) and have set the bar high for the next trip, whenever that may be.

P & O staff commented on how fantastic the pupils were and that 'they were the best group ever' on the ferry. (Personally, I think this was due to staff dancing!)  Actually, it was the impeccable manners and behaviour of all the pupils that impressed ship staff.

Most especially, all pupils have really become a big family unit and have bonded as such over the 5 days.  

I hope that enduring friendships have been made.

As group leader, I have thoroughly enjoyed the tour and know I speak for all staff.
Thank you so much to all the pupils, parents and staff for making this such a special trip.

I hope to see you all at the Usher Hall concert on 17th December-keep an eye on the JGHS website for all info on rehearsals!
