Virginia Larby ( Banda LAMDA teacher)
Congratulations to Ginny whose first novel, 'Warrior Boy' written under her pen name Virigina Clay, will be published in 2018. From 2,500 original entries, to a longlist, to a shortlist of five, in The Times/Chicken House Children's Fiction Competition, we are all proud of Ginny and her accomplishments thus far. Ginny is the daughter-in-law of Alumni and her children are in Pegasus Early Years.

These boys literally did that! Six years after leaving The Banda, Taru and Russell have gained their Pilot's Licence and Dudi, his Helicopter Licence. The boys (and their teammates) were successful at all their team sports too as shared below.
