Although cousin Lily and I have some common interests we are like chalk and cheese. With an uneasy relationship and fear of the unknown we forge ahead.

Some of the aspects that we will be investigated are: documented cases of other marriages (mergers) profiles of learners supported by case studies teaching techniques in the light of the merger our schools' endeavour to integrate.
