The Mayor of Hillingdon Cllr Roy Chamdal, Mayoress Reeta Chamdal, and Cllr Susan O'Brien visited our Academy along with Rajinder Singh (Skipping Sikh) to speak to our students/pupils about the benefits of healthy living, exercise, and doing Seva (selfless service) for the community.
After an assembly led by our students, the Mayor spent some time speaking with our students about their education and future ambitions and aspirations, Skipping Sikh and his wife Hula Hoop Kaur participated in outdoor activities with our pupils in GNSA Primary and Nanaksar Primary. The pupils were very excited to meet Skipping Sikh and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.
'It was an amazing experience to be able to talk and give a tour to Mr Mayor and the Mayoress, as well as Councillor Susan O'Brien. They visited our school along with the highly respected Skipping Sikh and his family, who has continued to raise money for the NHS through skipping during the lockdown. We first sat down with them and discussed our school and its incredible progress and staff, as well as our future careers.
The Mayor gave us some valuable advice and told us his background and his journey to where he is now. Following this, we made our way to the Gurdwara, where GNSA Primary pupils performed Shabads and Kirtan. The Mayor and Skipping Singh gave empowering speeches to the children, and were then escorted to the primary building. We as Sixth Formers feel incredibly lucky to have been able to talk to and spend time with the Mayor, Mayoress, and Councillor O'Brien as well as Skipping Sikh. It was an amazing morning and something that only a few people are able to do.'
Thank you once again to everyone.
