# Ko Sai

Ko Sai (Thai: เกาะทราย, pronounced) is one of the gulf islands of Thailand. It lies on the west side of the Gulf of Thailand, about 2 km off-shore.

## Geography

Ko Sai is the largest of a group of three rocky islets also known as "Pran Rocks", off the fishing village of Khao Takiab, just south of Hua Hin. This area belongs administratively to Prachuap Khiri Khan Province.
Ko Sai has a maximum length of 0.4 km and its highest point reaches 35 m. Ko Sai vaguely resembles a sitting lion when seen from shore. Local tour operators call it "Lion Island" (Ko Singto) and organize regular sightseeing and snorkeling excursions to visit it.

### Adjacent islands

Two smaller islets are close to Ko Sai:
* Ko Sadao (เกาะสะเดา), south of Ko Sai. Its highest point 15m. This island is called "Ko Tao" (Turtle Island) by the travel agencies in the area, but it should not be confused with Ko Tao in Surat Thani Province.
* Ko Khi Nok (เกาะขี้นก), is the smallest of the group. It is just a few hundred metres to the east of Ko Sadao. This is the lowest island and its name in Thai means "Guano Island". Its highest point is only 3 m and, unlike the other two islets, it barely has any vegetation. Ko Khi Nok is called "Ko Nok" (Bird Island) by the local tour organizers, but like the other alternative names above, it is not to be found in official documents.

# Belhaven Hill School

Belhaven Hill School is an independent, co-educational preparatory school for boarding and day pupils aged 5 to 13 in Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland. Set in 20 acres of beautiful grounds, Belhaven Hill has an idyllic, coastal setting which both children and staff treat as their playground and home.
The current headmaster is Olly Langton.
Founded in 1923 by Brian Simms, Belhaven Hill has a long and proud history, growing from its humble beginnings with a handful of pupils and two staff in an old private house on Belhaven Hill. Set in 20 acres of beautiful grounds, Belhaven has an idyllic, coastal setting which both children and staff treat as their playground and home.
The core values of the school are Courtesy, Courage and Creativity and these are embedded in everything they do. Children are encouraged to be brave and give everything a go, thinking of others all the time.

## The school's centenary

On Thursday, 4 May 2023 the School was 100 years old. There were many celebrations to mark this centenary year including a Centenary Concert held in St. Mary's Church, Haddington and a Centenary Ball for former pupils and friends on Saturday, 27 May 2023.

## School expansion

Building on the expertise gathered over several years since the start of the Form 6 class (for 7 year olds), the school has extended education to 5 and 6 year olds (the pre-prep). The pre-prep is small, only thirty children, with ten in each year group so that the children will receive focused teaching, tailored to each individual's particular needs at the very start of their education, allowing them to progress at the speed that suits them and develop a love of learning.

## Be Creative, Be Courageous

Belhaven Hill runs a full programme of fun, challenging activities and they are an integral part of providing an all-round education. "Have a go" is often heard at Belhaven and, with support and encouragement, our boys and girls learn that the key to success lies within themselves. On offer for the Summer term are: Advanced Art, Entrepreneurship, Swimming, Lawn Games, Repair Workshop, Gardening, Creative Writing, Outdoor Cooking, Beach Walking, Fencing, Squash, Football, Trash Fashion, Wookie Special, Song Writing, Rock Pooling, Archery and Outdoor Survival.

# Francisco da Veiga Beirão

Francisco António da Veiga Beirão (24 July 1841, in Lisbon – 11 November 1916, in Paço de Arcos), commonly known as Francisco da Veiga Beirão (Portuguese pronunciation:), or Veiga Beirão, was a Portuguese politician of the late period of the Constitutional Monarchy. He served as President of the Ministry (Prime Minister), being the second last before the 5 October republican coup d'état that established the Portuguese First Republic. He was a professor at the Industrial Institute and president of Lawyers Association of Lisbon. He was also a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences and of the Institut de Droit International and the Real Academía de Jurisprudencia y Legislación de Madrid. He had a law degree, from the University of Coimbra.
He started his political life in the Reformist Party and was a deputy in the Cortes from 1880 to 1904. However he maintained a certain distance from party-politics. He also served as Minister of Justice (29 February 1886 – 14 January 1890) and of Foreign Affairs (1898). He was the author of the regulating code for the creation and functioning of commercial societies in Portugal (1888).
On 22 December 1909 he was named President of the Ministry (Prime Minister) by young king Manuel II of Portugal.

He was followed by António Teixeira de Sousa, the last Prime Minister of the constitutional monarchy.
After the proclamation of the Portuguese Republic on 5 October 1910 he abandoned political life and continued working as a lawyer and attorney.
