hmmm prob one from your teacher and one from the orphanage, unless of course you think you'll get a better one from your teachers :smile:

How would your teachers give you a reference in the summer holidays :s-smilie:

One of each, especially as one is independent of school. School references say you haven't been out into the real world yet and they're usually a bit gooey and don't really say anything. If your volunteer placement people write positively but honestly, then it may actually do more good (Not that I reckon these references will make much difference unless you've killed a baby or something).
