and Reflection
“I have been attending these
Round Square events…… since 1990 and I can truthfully say that none has been
better organized and none has
challenged me more to consider the relevance of what I am doing and my school
is doing”
“It is heartening to see the
IDEALS pillars of Round Square so truly embedded at the centre of school
life”

“. . .your incredible
teamwork in delivering an outstanding Conference experience for all the
delegates to the 2010 Round Square International Conference,”
“ I wanted
to express my sincere congratulations and appreciation for your efforts over
the past two years to bring about an incredible experience for all of us who were
lucky enough to attend.
I
am sure that you will receive many emails of congratulations and thanks. It would be entirely appropriate if you
did so given the great enjoyment and stimulation your
Conference provided for all of us.
The warmth of the hospitality, the depth of the program, the visibility
of Students at the centre of both the organisation and delivery of the
Conference and the support of delegates and their varying and no doubt
sometimes demanding needs, were all met and achieved with a smile and an
effective outcome.”
“Rest assured that the memory of Thailand 2010
will live long and strong in the minds of us all and when those of us who have
been lucky enough to attend multiple conferences reflect on our experience this
year, we will be able to do so with a great sense of enjoyment and warmth
which, as a consequence, should ensure that your pride in being a central part
of the organisation of it lives long also.”

“I have now attended 3 RS conferences and this
one was the best!
The Phi Phi project was a great experience and
the kids all really benefitted from it!
I really liked the fact that the emphasis was
on Service and so it was appropriate that we did a project in the week before
and didn’t go sightseeing!”

“Just a quick note of congratulations to you
and the team for an outstanding effort in producing such an
unique Conference. You promised it in previous years and you certainly
delivered it. Anna and I are delighted with the way the Project and Conference
have brought our "quiet lads" out of themselves.
We had a session yesterday where they just
wanted to keep on reminiscing and that wasn't how many conquests they had!!”

Conference, and I just want to add my thanks and congratulations to the dozens,
maybe hundreds, that ought to be pouring into you right now.”

very, very difficult to even match, let alone try to beat, by the next host.”

the execution of it all - all were magnificent. You must be very proud indeed of your
