SIXTH FORM NEWS

Hello everyone and welcome to the last half term of the year!

I cannot believe how quickly the year has gone...

The buzz in the Sixth Form has been strong after the long exam week last week. Congratulations to everyone for finishing their exams; just one last push until summer! It is so lovely to have had the sun the last few days, despite the heat, and to see everyone relaxing outside on the grass.

Speaking of the buzz, we had a very busy common room on Tuesday when we hosted the Year 10 ‘Day in the Life of a Sixth Former’ event. Our wonderful Upper School Prefect, Erika D, wrote about the day:

“On Tuesday this week the Year 10s spent a day in the life of a Sixth Former. The Year 10s tried out some taster A Level lessons, such as Business and Psychology, and they made full use of the common room and Sixth Form facilities. The Year 12s and Year 13s were very excited to welcome them, and we all enjoyed a BBQ on the grass for lunch. I hope the Year 10s enjoyed their day with us and look forward to becoming a Sixth Form pupil themselves.”

Our fantastic Values Prefect, Q and her committee Anna, Carlie and Amelie, along with the Head Girl Team, are gearing up for Values Week next week. There will be plenty of activities on offer, such as Finding Neo, daily scrabble competition, a pilgrimage to Guildford Cathedral and, of course, the famous ‘Breakeoke’ with Dr McShane every break-time. The Sixth Form are looking forward to wearing their 2023 Values Week t-shirts, designed by Lily K in Year 13.

Our Head Girl, Jadwiga KL, and our Deputy Head Girl, Ariella W, were interviewed this afternoon by the Prep School Head Girl Team for the June episode of the Intellect Dissect Podcast. They had lots of fun and we are really excited to send it to you soon.

I hope that everyone has a fabulous week and I look forward to writing to you next week.

VALUES WEEK!!

To celebrate our Value of theYear we are, in the best traditions, about to embark on VALUES WEEK starting next Monday.

What better way to celebrate this year’s value of INTELLECT than with the greatest contest in what is quite possibly the greatest game on Earth. SCRABBLE

This isn’t just any old game of SCRABBLE. This is the ultimate, souped up, hyped up, super exciting week-long FESTIVAL OF SCRABBLE.

The Eco council will be participating in an Eco trip to Brighton and the English department are hosting a Literary Evening on Thursday 22 June.

Parents are also invited to join us for FINDING NEO, a Cluedo inspired mystery event! Book your place by clicking on the flyer!

We will also have a READATHON of War and Peace running throughout the week in support of "The New Dawn African Girl Charity.”You can make donations by clicking the image below!
