Four Year 10 pupils from Bolton School formed part of the Guard
of Honour before the England v New Zealand International Rugby Test
Match at Twickenham.
Two boys, Will Doyle and Andrew Hughes, and two girls,
Natasha Williams and Ruth Brown, were given the honour thanks to
Bolton School's outstanding charity efforts for the SOS Kit Aid
programme, a charity which collects sports kit and redistributes it
to underprivileged children in South Africa. The four were chosen
to represent Bolton School at the match where they got to meet Mr
Ed Balls, the Secretary for Schools. They then formed the Guard of
Honour alongside Mr Paul Fernside, Head of Rugby at Bolton School,
and 12 other youngsters and their teachers from schools across the
country who contributed most significantly to the Kid Aid
appeal.
Forming part of the Guard of Honour was only part of the reward
for the pupils, as back in the Summer Term they flew out to South
Africa for the trip of a lifetime, to coach in townships and watch
the Second Test Match between The British and Irish Lions and South
Africa, the World Champions, in Pretoria.
