    We’re a home school with an enterprising streak! We came second in the regional final of the Make Your Mark Challenge in 2007, and have used some of our prize money to get a website business off the ground (see the site www.1stclasswebsites.com). Our enterprises include writing screen plays and novels plus a life coaching business! (see www.totallibertyinternational.com) We are also putting together ‘The ABC’s of Success’- motivational teaching on how to be successful.

At the moment our members are working on several projects involving hairdressing, gardening, boat building, and selling education equipment to help youngsters with ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia etc.
