Regional Meeting, Lambrook School, London West

Our speaker will be James Shone from ‘I Can and I Am’. https://icanandiam.com/ . He will speak on the topic of ‘Courage’.

Following a sixteen year career in several boarding schools and being a housemaster for twelve of those years, James Shone was appointed as headmaster to Monkton Prep School in 2012.

During his medical assessment a brain tumour was discovered. Over the coming months James underwent two massive operations spending 11 weeks in hospital; the operations saved his life but took most of his sight. Further to this, James had to relinquish a dream job, undergo radiotherapy and then set off into a new future without employment or buoyant health.

James is a man who embodies a positive attitude to life and a determination to turn setbacks into springboards. As a housemaster, this was at the heart of his pastoral message but it is now fundamentally important that he lives this message out everyday himself as well as sharing it with a wider audience.

James is married to Olivia and they have four children. As well as spreading the messages of  ‘I Can & I Am’, James’s passions remain in golf, Liverpool football club, conversing, spending time at the Cornish coast and the good Lord.

TISCA is really pleased to be able to arrange some in-person regional meetings again – and are very grateful to our host schools. Whilst we continue to enjoy some ‘regional’ (actually worldwide) meetings termly via Zoom, it is so good to be able to have fellowship and a meal together in person.

 Our ‘pattern’ remains the same: gather for refreshments between 6.00 and 6.30 pm, have a presentation / discussion / prayer from 6.30 to 7.30 pm, and then enjoy a meal from about 7.45 to 9.00 pm.

Each event is £15.00 per person to cover the costs of refreshments and the meal. Do, please, join us – and let colleagues and friends in neighbouring schools know. 

The event is free for those of the hosting school.
