Visitors to The Mitre

From Left to Right in the photograph above:  Melissa Beukes, Guy (1997F), his father Glen and his two daughters, Estelle and Francine.  

The Beukes family visited Bishops on Friday 14 April 2023.  They were on a visit to South Africa from Melbourne, Australia.     

Guy shared with his family the memorable time of his schooling as a pupil in Founders House (1997), as they were taken on a tour through the various places in the House & College.  They were accompanied by Dr Paul Murray and afterwards the party returned to the The Mitre lounge for a Tea.  We enjoyed meeting them at the office and It was good catching up and hearing their exciting news.
