The mission team took classes daily and focused on the different components of the armour previously men- tioned, as well as answering questions. The team made themselves available in the afternoons and evenings. WORLD BOOK DAY AND EXTREME READING The Peterhouse Group of Schools celebrated World Book Day in a number of ways. Peterhouse Girls dressed up as their favourite story book characters while staff members imagined themselves as Little Miss and Mister Men characters. Peterhouse Boys decided to introduce an Extreme Reading Challenge. Members of staff encouraged their students to read in unorthodox places, let the characters in their books come to life in front of them, be adventurous as possible, and then submit a photo of themselves and their antics. This caused great amusement when the photos were submitted and staff had a chance to see what they had got up to. Even The Rector, Mr Howard Blackett, was surprised to see that a group of readers had invaded his office at some point. Springvale House decided to dress up and have an extreme reading challenge – not surprisingly many children decided that their Natural History Museum was a great place to be as hyenas and giraffes made nice props. CAREERS FAIR We hosted a Careers' Fair this term with the event supported by a large number of universities/agents from various corners of the globe (including Exeter University, UK) and was attended by pupils in the 5th and 6th forms from PHB, PHG and other local schools. It was organised by Jenny Kirkman, our Careers' Officer, who deliv- ers careers' advice (from the first floor of the Megahey Centre) helping pupils to gain access to universities in the UK, USA,. Canada, Europe, South Africa, Australia, new Zealand etc. ...Our hope is that the fun lled days managed to reignite the spirit of reading amongst our learners... D BLOCK BASE CAMP Indeed, you can get to see how strong, creative, resilient, humorous and gutsy boys really are when they are outside – doing what young boys can do best – making rafts, making fires, shooting targets with pellet guns, abseiling off rock faces and scrambling up kopjes to observe the views below. Even the boys surprised themselves on this Basecamp and were ‘better ships that they ever imagined’ – some enjoyed camping for the first time, walked further than they thought they could, cooked their own supper on an open fire, ate no Finally the day had come and everyone was excited, My tuck for a few days (and survived), learnt knots and how to friends and I were tremendously delighted. make shelters!

Although it is early season, there is a great biodiversity in the area and we had amazing birding with particularly good sightings of raptors which pupils learned to identify – our bird list came to over 100. We spent time catching specimens in the river bed and pans and had some interesting new discoveries – every- one with reference books out and identifying invertebrates. One day was spent walking up the Ruckomechi River where it leaves the escarpment – a rugged and very in- teresting adventure. The night sky was perfect for stars with no light pollution and we had a special evening sit- ting in the river bed with our binoculars identifying the constellations. The cherry on the top was a leopard sighting on the last evening – although we heard lions they were in the distance but we certainly got our fill with the elephants – large bulls who were eating a fallen baobab and also Springvale House Visit to Twala several herds with very small calves.

The objectives of Work Package 3 are: 1) to obtain a detailed knowledge about the demand for solar hot water systems in the institutional sector as well as about the technical, social and economic barriers, which hamper the installation of the systems, 2) to come up with recommendations which help to overcome the barriers and which will assist the stakeholders to develop a strategy which facilitates the installation of solar water heaters. This report presents the results of the survey to tackle objective (1). The findings from the survey will be useful in tackling objective (2) of the Work Package.
