Thank you for your reply.

Hi Yvonne and Alain, thanks for your comments regarding Henry Cressy and the presentation the boys put together. The only information they had was the link on the main page to Henry's AIF information which did not list his date of birth. Chloe one of the members of this site would be glad to hear from you and would pass on the relevant details regarding his date of birth. Please feel free to contact her through this site. We will be continuing the project with the students over the next 10 weeks so feel free to be active participants in the site. The boys did a fabulous job given they only had 2 weeks to put something together and had very few resources and we were in the middle of mid year exams! It was a very exhausting but rewarding process. All the best, Michael
