Dear Alumni, Former Parents, Former Staff and Friends of the School,

Dr Jane Goodall DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace, will visit Solihull School to deliver an educational lecture on Monday 13 November at 6.30 pm.

Jane is the world’s foremost ethologist, a globally renowned conservationist & author, and much more. Her latest book is outstanding and welcome. It also underpins the title of her lecture: Reasons for Hope. You can read more about that, and her, here:

Dr Goodall’s globetrotting schedule is such that, for most of us, this represents a once in a lifetime opportunity to hear from her in person. Her commitments span the globe, and her lectures are regularly sold out (as they currently are across the US), wherever she speaks.

A very generous sponsor will cover Jane’s speaking fee & double all proceeds of our event ticket sales, donating them to the Jane Goodall Institute & her outstanding education programme for young Eco minded activists - Roots & Shoots, which Jane will talk about on the night. Roots & Shoots is now active in 115 countries.

Jane will also share stories about her life, her reasons for hope, and why she believes it is up to each one of us to decide what kind of difference we want to make through our daily actions.

Booking

Tickets are £10 per adult and £5 per child, and  can be reserved here: https://www.trybooking.co.uk/CRUA

Do please join us on the evening, it’s a wonderful opportunity for our school community to experience something special together. We are keen for our children to go on to do great good in the world and Jane is a world-leading light in showing us, and them,  how it can be done.

Warmest wishes,

Mark Penney, Head of the Preparatory School
