A Letter from Dr. Marina Hitchen to the Unity High School Community - 16th September 2014

Hi

One of your students joined my school in Jeddah today which brought back memories. Good to see all the pictures on this site and if you have any new ones please get them up here. Not so good to hear that the school is once again facing some problems. This was sadly inevitable and such a pity parents did not act sooner to take back the school for the rightful owners. We also have some more documents about the sale of the school to Bishop Gwynne (receipts and such like) and his transference to the Trustees. I am sure many of you would find them interesting and hopefully we can post them up soon. There are also some nice photos including one of Clergy House. Please work to try to bring justice to Bishop Gwynne and all those missionaries and teachers who built your school into the best school in Africa. Do not let them down. They and your children deserve so much more.

I have to say that I do miss Khartoum and there are so very few schools with the history that Unity has. I will be visiting soon and hope to catch up with some of you then. Good Luck.

Dr. Marina Hitchen

    Dear Dr. Marina,
    We are very pleased to know that you will be visiting soon. Please advise on exact date of arrival as we have so much to talk about.
    You truly were one of the best principals the Unity had ever had and we just want you to know that you are so missed.
    Honestly can't wait for your arrival. Hope it will be soon.
    Warm regards,
    Samar Bolis

An Email Received from Razan Elshazili of @womenofsudan Instagram Account - 5th August 2020

Hello,   Hope you are well. My name is Razan Elshazali, and I'm the owner of @womenofsudan on Instagram. I used to go to Unity High School as a student, however, I do not think we ever crossed paths. I just wanted to thank you infinitely for your work on the UHS archives. It makes me so happy knowing our vast visual history is preserved, digitalised and easily accessible. I use the website regularly to find content for my page and future website, so I really just wanted to contact you to let you know, on behalf of everyone that has ever attended Unity, that we appreciate your efforts immensely! Thank you for your dedication and for your time. Reply from Steve Gooch: Dear Razan, Thank you so much for your email which is very much appreciated. The Unity High School Archive has been a labour of love for many years now, though somewhat silent in recent years. I am glad that you find it to be of use. There are other materials still to be posted to the Archive that have been collected ov...

An Email Exchange Between the Principal Dr Marina Hitchen and the Ex-Trustee Rev. Charles Bonsall - March to May 2011

The following is an email exchange between the Principal; Dr. Marina Hitchen and the former school Trustee Charles Bonsall. Although it was originally decided to honour the request of Charles Bonsall not to publish his correspondence in full so as to protect Pat Clague's reputation, this decision was reversed when it was discovered that Bonsall's testimony could not be fully relied upon and that he had lied over his signing of the 1995 Trustee appointing letter, which can be found here: A Letter Purporting to be From a Meeting of the Trustees in Which New Trustees Were Appointed - 7th June 1995 . Any future correspondence between Dr Marina and Charles Bonsall will be added here as it becomes available. Dear Sir, I thought you would like to look at the archive file we have set up for Unity High School and its history. I know you have all worked very hard to preserve documents in Durham University but they are not accessible to all those interested in the school. Here is the link...
