Unfortunately, the time has come for staff and students at Carisbrooke College to say goodbye to Miss Ban – our wonderful Chinese language assistant. 

After joining us last September, Miss Ban has spent the year helping students in all year groups with their Mandarin studies. She has worked in both KS3 and KS4 classes and has proved invaluable in every lesson she has been in. She was of particular assistance to the year 11s in the lead up to their GCSE spoken and written exams, offering help with both vocabulary and grammar and providing essential feedback to each of them.

Despite her calm and quiet personality, Miss Ban commands respect and many students have benefitted immensely this year from her reliability and professionalism. Although next week will be her last here with us before she returns to China, everyone at Carisbrooke hopes she’ll stay in touch with us for many years to come.

Thank you for all your hard work this year, Josie, and we wish you all the best with whatever comes next.

山 中 相 送 罷
日 暮 掩 柴 扉
春 草 明 年 綠
王 孫 歸 不 歸
