Roosh and I visited Efter Skolen today. Our host Helle works there. It is a boarding school that specialises in Theatre, Music and Dance. We had the opportunity to speak with the Principal, Vice Principal, teachers and students. They were very welcoming and lovely. Students have very close relationship with their teachers, p and vp. Meal times in school are with their teachers, p and vp. They have contact group of 7-11 students to 1 teacher weekly. The students love it. Students clean their own dishes after every meal and clean the school. We were blessed to tour around the school by 2 lovely students Nina and Zoe. We also have the opportunity to learn dance as we volunteered ourselves as students to be taught during our observation.


We live in a farm house that is as big as the entire land area of NIE.
The walk from our home to school with the signage Malling.
Our host says it is a 5 minutes walk but Roosh and i took nearly 30 minutes to walk. Malling School is about 45 minutes (slow) walk. You don't want to walk fast because there is no walking pathway and you have to walk where the cars drive and sometimes you walk against the direction that the car drives so slow is good and is the way of life :)

 Places where students can hang out during their free time
 Library/ Reading room
 Kitchen for cooking/baking
Nina was also my 'dance teacher' as she taught me how to Hustle.
Students here are 9-10th graders who are passionate for the Arts.
After the 10th grade, they will go to upper secondary school. 










Spent our afternoon decorating our host's place for Christmas with her beautiful youngest daughter Heidi. 

Here are just some of the many photos.
This is a part of one of her house that stretches across the size of four 4-room hdb size flats. Roosh and i felt very loved here, we are very well taken care of.













Roosh should be updating more with the photos in her possession :)
