This morning we visit our grandson, Nicholas’s new school

This year Nicholas started Grade 1 at the Xavier School which is situated in Greenhills, San Juan, Metro Manila

Xavier School is a private, Catholic, college preparatory school run by the Philippine Province of the Society of Jesus

The school has several thousand students which goes from Kindergarten to year 12

This is Nicholas’s Grade one classroom

It is wonderful that the school has a large sportsground

Nicholas and his mother, Nichelle

By taxi we drop Nicholas and his mother back home to Tivoli Gardens in Mandaluyong

Struggling through the busy traffic in the taxi, we make our way very slowly back to our hotel
