Notes

Cyprus as a whole is similar to TLA in that the students at TLA receive a British-style education that attempts to integrate groups of Greek-Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot students in the classroom, yet when they cross the boundary of the school and go back into their society they are faced with the division that has been formalised since 1974 and the affect that has had on the collective imagination of Cypriot society. The ideal of inclusiveness for which the school claims to stand is in contrast to the real divisions that exist in society. The ideal of sport as a tool for inclusiveness is also in contrast to the real problems that sport at TLA faces due to the lack of willingness that some staff have to enact these ideals (Danielle, personal communication, December 20, 2011).
