  • A-Level Preparation Courses 1 from Strathallan Worldwide, Strathallan School, Scotland Introduction
    A-Level Preparation Courses 1 From Strathallan Worldwide, Strathallan School, Scotland Introduction Our promise: to know your child as an individual Building on the outstanding success of our Strathallan based A-Level preparation programme – the International Studies Programme or ‘ISP’, now in its third year providing in-school A-Level preparation courses, we are excited to announce a part-time online version for students based overseas: Strathallan Worldwide A-Level Preparation Courses or ‘APCs’. Strathallan School averages 80% A*-B at A-Level and is the winner of the 2020 Independent School of the Year award for International Experience - an award based on knowing our students as individuals. During lockdown in 2020 we delivered over 7000 live lessons online to our students at home and abroad. Our special care of our international students, combined with considerable success through the challenging lockdown period, has led us to the conclusion that we can offer a top-rate UK independent school experience to students who are planning to come to the UK to study key A-Levels in the Sixth Form. Virtual APCs Strathallan Worldwide A-Level Preparation Courses (APCs) enable students to prepare for studying A-Levels in the UK whilst continuing with face-to-face lessons in their schools at home. Students taking APCs will receive live teaching during the evenings in their chosen A-Level subjects along with additional English language support lessons and the help and advice of a personal tutor. Advantages of an APC The number one reason why international students fail to get good grades at A Level is that they have poor English skills - Strathallan Worldwide APCs will directly address this issue.

    RILEY Riley House HOUSE HANDBOOK 2019-20 RILEY HOUSE House Information Booklet 2019/20 1 2 RILEY HOUSE House Information Booklet 2019/20 A warm welcome to Riley! I am delighted that you are joining RileyHouse. We will do all that we can to make your time in Riley a happy and rewarding time. The purpose of this handbook is to help you understand how Riley works and hopefully help answer many of the questions you will likely have ahead of your arrival and during the first few weeks of term. I hope it will help you gain a clearer picture of Riley and the house facilities as well as some of the tutors that you will be meeting. The beginning of a new term can at times seem overwhelming and hectic but you should remember that you are now part of a community, all of whom have been in your position before and everyone is here to help. You will quickly learn the values and ethos of the house — a warm and friendly place based on building positive relationships through kindness, support, tolerance and doing the right thing. Riley is a place to get involved, whether you are a day pupil or boarder This could be through our in-House events such as our Halloween party, decorating the House Christmas tree, our Christmas disco, enjoying pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, dancing at our ‘silent disco’s’, joining in with the MANY birthday celebrations that take place each term, curling up on the sofa for Saturday movie nights, playing board games in the common room.

  • Friends of Holbrook-Palmer Park Submit the Carriage House and Water Tower to the National Register of Historic Places
    Item No. 21 Town of Atherton CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – REGULAR AGENDA TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: LISA COSTA SANDERS, TOWN PLANNER DATE: SEPTEMBER 16, 2015 SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE FRIENDS OF HOLBROOK- PALMER PARK TO SUBMIT THE CARRIAGE HOUSE AND WATER TOWER FOR THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt the Resolution authorizing the Friends of Holbrook Palmer Park to submit the Carriage Housing and Water Tower at Holbrook Palmer Park for the National Register of Historic Places. BACKGROUND Over the last eight years, the Friends have worked to raise public awareness of the significance of the Carriage House and the Water Tower and worked to raise funds to restore both buildings. The Friends retained the services of Christopher VerPlanck to complete a historic evaluation of the Carriage House and the Water Tower, and if authorized by the City Council, to complete the necessary paperwork to register both buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. City Council authorization is required to submit the buildings to the National Register as the buildings are owned by the Town. ANALYSIS The Gen Merrill Carriage Housing and Water Tower, both located in Holbrook-Palmer Park, were part of a rural estate historically known as both the Holbrook-Palmer estate and Elmwood. The Water Tower, constructed in 1883 is a tree-story heavy timber-frame tankhouse built to store groundwater in a large redwood water tank formerly on the top flow. The Carriage House, built in 1897 by Charles Holbrook, is a two-story heavy timber-frame building with a carriage storage room, stables and tack rooms on the first floor with a large hay loft and bunkhouse on the second floor.
