Every trip to Arise School creates many new memories for us, especially of the children who now have this opportunity of an education. Having returned home this week after our most recent trip, we just wanted to share a few of those memories with you.

Tying the Knot at Arise!

21st July 2017


Since its very early days, part of the philosophy of Arise School has been that the school facilities and grounds should be available as a community resource when not in use as a school.
