Where Are They Now? Georgia and Olivia Kynaston Where do you live now? We live in a village called Hampstead Norreys in the south of England, in a county called Berkshire.
What brought you there? My dad decided decided that he wanted to change jobs, and he found one here in England for a holiday company called Thomas Cook.
Where do you go to school? We go to an all girls school called St Gabriel’s Senior School in Newbury which is just down the highway from our house. (Georgia is pictured at right with the school’s Head of Primary, and below with friends.)
What are some differences between your school and Discovery College? Well first, it is an all girls school. The curriculum is completely different as we do the British curriculum as well as the
different sports we play like rounders and tennis. The size is also tiny compared to DC. There are 12 people in a class compared to 31 in Discovery College. (Olivia is pictured below left in front of her school building.)
What types of activities are you involved in? We both take part in girl guides. Olivia also does ballet and swimming— including swimming in competitions, but due to the English weather, the big competitions usually happen only in the summer!
What do you like best about living in your new home? The fresh air of the countryside and the way people take

you under their wing. Our home has a big garden and my room is huge!
How is it different from living in Hong Kong? It is a lot harder to visit my friends because everyone lives further apart and the only way to get there is by car. It has a very different atmosphere and approach when there are newcomers.
