From Peter Connew.

IN view of regular comments, many justified, with regard to the poor behaviour of young people today, I would like to make a positive comment in a particular case.

My wife and I travelled back to Jersey last Friday on Condor from St Malo. Travelling on the same boat was a party of 50 or so Year 6 pupils from Rouge Bouillon School. We couldn’t help but notice their behaviour lunching outside the terminal at St Malo, during check in and throughout the crossing.

The demeanour and behaviour of these youngsters, all excited after a stay in France and now returning home, was exemplary and an absolute credit to their teachers and their school.

The accompanying teachers were clearly well respected by the children. Travelling back with this group was markedly different from some experiences we have had in the past when in the company of groups of similar aged French schoolchildren whose teachers were nowhere to be seen.

It was certainly a pleasure to be seated close to such a large group of happy schoolchildren.
