It is just two weeks into First Term and a number of students especially in Senior One and Senior Five are still trying to adapt to their new schools. It is the first time some students are joining a boarding school. Some have never washed their clothes since they were born but have no way out this time.

Others are worried about the long distance between home and school, while some are more worried about eating posho and beans every day. Indeed each child has their own fears and justifiably so.
