Nasser Al-Jaber, 45, a group leader who has had long experience as a cabin crew member with Kuwait Airways explains that the job of the flight attendants and airhostesses is multidimensional and extremely important.

  • All Blacks Balance World Cup Ledger the RWC Final Through the Eyes Of
    All Blacks Balance World Cup Ledger The RWC final through the eyes of a Kiwi in Buenos Aires When the 1987 Rugby World Cup kicked off I was a recent graduate from Victoria University just starting my professional career as a management accountant with the Public Trust Office. I was at Athletic Park to watch the All Blacks convincing win over the Pumas and turned 22 the day the All Blacks beat Scotland in the quarter final. When David Kirk lifted the Webb Ellis Cup at Eden Park I, along with many other Kiwis, expected that our world domination would continue for ever. Twenty Four years later I’m a middle aged man whose hair is going grey. I’m living in Argentina and working as finance and admin manager for New York University’s Buenos Aires study away site. The All Blacks World Cup ledger stands unbalanced with just a single entry in the credit column dating back to 1987. It’s a 5.00am kickoff in Buenos Aires for the RWC final and the sun won’t be appearing for a while as with family and friends we drive down to NZ Ambassador Darryl Dunn’s apartment building in the recycled port district of Puerto Madero. It’s cool and windy as we head inside where an early breakfast of sandwiches, pastries, juice, tea and coffee awaits us. Unlike 24 years ago when I tucked into a plate of Chinese takeaways this time I’m too tense to eat so I chat to the other guests and am then one of the first to take a seat in the building’s 40 seat mini cinema.

Image: Riv via Flickr Creative Commons Sitting in a bar off Queen’s Street in Auckland, I couldn’t feel more English. While my two Welsh companions were getting stopped for photos and hugs, I was getting heckled and jeered. Yet it was during the national anthems of New Zealand and Tonga that I showed how British I am. I stood and showed respect as the anthems were sung. Yet the Kiwis in the bar didn’t seem to pay much attention. Some watched, some sang along, most continued to natter away. And while I was trying to comprehend this attitude that had offended me, the teams were getting ready for the Haka and the Sipi Tau. This is where I saw the error in my judgement. This is where the New Zealanders suddenly stood to attention. The Haka is more than a war cry, it is an embedded part of the All Black culture that Kiwis are obsessed with. After the Tongan Sipi Tau there was applause for what one Maori described as his brothers.

  • 'Icarus' Sister' Takes Flight
    Summer term: Week 4 News 18th May 2018 A note from the Headmaster This newsletter contains a report on the excellent Senior Play, performed last week by a cast of sixth form boys and girls. I would like to congratulate our actors on such an exciting and polished performance. You will also see a report below on our recent cricket fixture at Glamorgan County Cricket Club. This provided a superb opportunity for our team to play on their test ground, and I am very grateful to the Glamorgan staff who offered us such excellent hospitality for the day. A number of parents have been hugely supportive in helping us to develop this partnership with Glamorgan, and I am also immensely grateful to them. Please can I also draw your attention to the FOMs Summer Party, as advertised below. This promises to be a very enjoyable occasion, and thank you to the FOMs parents for their work to prepare for the event, and for their work to support our school. Top stories SENIOR PLAY CAPTIVATES AS ‘ICARUS’ SISTER’ TAKES FLIGHT For two nights last week the drama studio was transformed into a tense and troubling crime scene, as the stage was set for the World Premiere of Icarus’ Sister, written by drama teacher, writer in residence and profes- sional playwright Mr Shakeshaft. This taut crime thriller followed the story of missing teenager Claire Francis whose seemingly loyal group of friends turn against her under police ques- tioning. The race is then on to try and discover the truth of why a young girl would disappear and seemingly no-one, but her father, wants her to come home.
