Well i go to a private school too, i wouldn't call it posh though. If i told them i was in the World Schools O Champs they'd pretend they knew what the f*ck i was going on about, pat me on the back, and say well done. 400 quid out of them would NEVER be possible!
But, if i'd gotten into the World Schools Netball Champs or something, football or basketball maybe, they'd think i was amazing, announce it to the whole school or something like that. Still, I don't think any money would be exchanged...
That's the problem. The only sports they recognise are netball, football, basketball and possibly rugby. Cross country and o are really not appreciated. Cross country would be by my tutor, she's into running, she's been the world vets biathlon champion for 5 years running! And they do recognise that, but not nearly enough, she's a world champion for f*cks sake!!!
Canada....I'm hoping to go to Banff for the skiing. I'll stay for 6 months and work there, so eventually i'll make money from my trip!

rachel - i'm going to australia in summer 2005 for 3 weeks which should be great fun - its a hockey tour but we only play 7 matches. were going to singapore on the way!
my school has said they will pay half of the world schools money which is great news!! they recognise o a lot because our school does well at the britishschools and stuff.

Australi-A?
Jo- which part of Australia are you going to? do you know whats schools your playing against, -my school always sends a team to all the big international inter-schools things. Maybe I will actually meet someone on this board, and know who I'm talking to

well we're going to Sydney, Cairns and i think possibly Perth but definately the first two. i don't know what schools we're playing yet, i could see if i can find out though. it isn't a big inter schools thing we're going to its just a tour organised by our school for my age group. its quite a while to go yet - summer 2005 but i need the time to fundraise! what's the name of your school because my teacher might then know if she recognises it
