This will show you just what an awesome school we have here on Sanday. There may be only about 550 people living here, but just look at the diversity of the school activites etc.

Outstanding, Rosy!!! So many activities and all the students looked fully engaged!

It is highly rated as an excellent school, JK. I am not sure how many pupils there are, but there cant be that many.

Small, but mighty! I watched it twice and enjoyed it even more the 2nd time!

I like the way the older kids help the younger ones. In 1st and 2nd grade I went to a school that was K-8, and I think all the kids benefitted from it.

I have since found out that there are only 54 pupils at this School. Luckily we have had new families moving here in the last few years, which has saved this school from possible closure, as has happened on our neighbouring islands.

Lovely video and lucky kids! Must be wonderful to teach so few.

wow, only 54 kids! I would think that would be more work for the teachers to have to teach so many different grades. My brother went to a one-room schoolhouse for a couple of years and that poor teacher had to teach all 8 grades. But, I believe that they all got a good education.

And here is the previous video made in 2008
