your students to the Court House today. I hope that you all enjoyed your visit and
that it was a good learning experience for your class. Her Honour, Magistrate Denes, has asked me to pass on her gratitude to
you and your students for their impeccable behaviour and attentiveness
during the Court proceedings today. We hope to see you again. Kind regards,
