The Blyth School, Community College has links with The Ann van Dyke Cheetah Centre in South Africa. Year 10 student Kieran Holmes arranged the adoption of Dimples one of the animals in the Centre. She is around 8 years old and is described as a “very cheeky girl”. She is part of the Cheetah breeding programme and hopefully some cubs will be born in the coming year.

Her photograph is displayed in the Open Learning Centre.
