You do that by looking at the notice boards, first of all. If there's a lot going on, it ought to be evident from the notice boards. There will be lists of everything that's happening, there will be lists of children who are participating in things. You will see that that is there, and then when you talk to other parents they will be complaining about how much they have to take their children to and from school late because they are always doing other activities. The enthusiam should be there in the children. You need, when you go around the schools, to find some chance just to chat openly to children to ask them what they really like about the school, what's the most fun things they do, and if there are things really happening in the extracurricular after school activities. Those should be being mentioned.
