We're building a wall for the Mwereni School in Tanzania!
In the picture above 1 brick represents 100 raised by the Southbank community. We have a long way to go to reach the required £80,000, so please get involved if you can we want to see the whole wall out of the grey and in glorious technicolour!
Why a wall?
In Tanzania, those who believe in witchcraft may seek to harm people with Albinism. Albinism is a genetic disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of pigment in skin, hair and eyes. Complications include vision defects and susceptibility to skin cancer. In the past three years, in Tanzania, over 60 people with Albinism have been killed and others violently assaulted.
The Mwereni School is home to many students who have this genetic condition. By building a simple wall around the perimeter of the school site, we can help to protect those within it.
ISSA Girls Basketball Champions 2012
For the first time in Southbank's history a basketball team has triumphed at an International Schools Sports Association tournament (ISSA). With ten teams participating from all over Europe (and eight of the schools having a larger enrolment, not to mention that Southbank is the only school participating without their own school gym!) the girls from Southbank were outstanding in their performance and team spirit.
Congratulations to Caroline (Capt), Frida, Tessa, Malak, Mary, Emma, Katie, Claudia and Mizuki. Coach Philomena Clancy and Team Manager Sam Stone.

30th Anniversary Celebrations
Here's a recap of our wonderful 30th Anniversary celebration event held in the summer. Thanks to everyone who joined us on that warm, sunny day.
Westminster GIN Club making a difference
Southbank Westminster students who joined the school's GIN Club (Global Issues Network) participated in an initiative which donated 32 bags of clothing they have collected for children in Nepal. The school's Travel Club will be supporting this initiative by transporting the clothing to Nepal during their Spring Break trip. The clothing is being donated to an NGO called Early Childhood Development Centre. Eight of the GIN Club members attended a four day conference on global issues in Luxembourg, they can be seen here in a workshop that explores the issue of phone technology and cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
