Students from Salesian College Battersea returned to Turin this summer to visit the Places where Don Bosco lived and worked.

Fr John Dickson led the visit and he was accompanied by Kevin Regan and Paul Dunne (Assistant Headteachers at Battersea) and Michael Georgiou, the School Chaplain. Dennis Johnson, Head of Religious Studies and Ashley Deeble, Head of Design Technology joined the group as the visit also incorporated a visit to the Agnelli School and both departments were keen to share ideas with colleagues from Agnelli.

The students were part of the Student Leadership team at Battersea and they look forward to receiving a return visit from the Agnelli students In January, 2010. The partnership between Battersea and the Salesian Agnelli School, Turin has helped The Salesian College in Battersea secure International Award Status.

Thanks to Mr Kevin Regan for the report and photograph.
