Mrs Grabowska's 3Lower class in the summer of 1990

Jo Grabowska

Thank you for your kind invitation to the NHEHS OGA Tea Party. I would have loved to come but I was travelling in the Balkans. I am keeping busy in my retirement with family, friends and importantly, grandchildren. I keep in touch with education through my role as Treasurer on the Nursery Management team for St Richards in Chichester. I have also been involved with the Institute of National Remembrance in Poland, researching and archiving documents of The Grabowski/Chlusewicz Family. My husband's family have been recognised as war heroes and the institute is helping research the family history.

Tony Emmerson

Tony is still at the English College in Prague, where after 10 years as Head of Science has spent the last 5 as Senior Deputy Head. He has recently created Teaching Together in Europe, a scheme where UK-based trainee teachers will have placements in schools in Rome and Brussels as well as Prague. Returns to the UK are few - usually either to speak at conferences or to watch cricket - but he is always happy to meet former colleagues and students and catch up on their news.
