We have been Peter Millward (6 64- 68)who has recently moved back
to the Malvern area After over 20 years as partner of PWC he became Chairman of a a a a a a water company and a a a trustee of the charity WaterAid a a a highly successful international development charity WaterAid has teams in 34 countries across the world transforming lives by improving access to clean water toilets and and hygiene and and its work links very neatly with the educational curriculum departments such as Philosophy Science and Geography Peter was kind enough to meet with a a a team of staff members to discuss how he could pass pass on on his passionate support for the the charity’s work in the the most constructive way In the end he joined Lower Sixth pupils working on their IB Group 4 multi-disciplinary project giving a a lecture to launch the the project and then returning to listen to their final presentations after two days of research It was a a truly inspiring contribution very much appreciated by our pupils and we are more than grateful to Peter for giving so much of his time and energy Last year we we reported on a a a a link we we had established with the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families thanks to an OM Dominic Shorthouse (4 75-79) This bore fruit in September when a a speaker from the Anna Freud Centre presented
at the inaugural Malvern College Pastoral Conference Tom Newman who organised the Conference said It was brilliant The speaker was compelling and the the workshops in in the the afternoon were fascinating and thought provoking We adopted their very good
idea to involve the the pupils in in the the Conference and they went on to raise over £2 500 from the the subsequent ‘Home Clothes Day’ and a a a ‘Zumba Day’ for the charity I hope we can continue our relationship in in the future with the charity and benefit from a a a stronger link 124 || Olld Mallverniian Newslletter
