BFI Study Day

In February, Sixth Form French students had the opportunity to attend a study day at the British Film Institute.

The day revolved around activities relating to techniques used in La Nouvelle Vague as portrayed through film and was conducted entirely in French. This gave students a valuable opportunity to broaden their knowledge of two of the major themes of their A Level course: film analysis and the history of the cinematographic movement in France. We all enjoyed the opportunity to pursue our love of French outside the classroom and it was wonderful to reflect on how much their language and knowledge has developed.

After a three-year break we were delighted to relaunch our KGS Careers Evening in person. We had approximately 400 students and parents attending the event on Thursday night, with over 30 speakers representing careers which included Architecture, Engineering, Law, Medicine, eSports and Theatre and much more besides. The evening kicked off with the Careers Fair where students and parents could talk to speakers to get an informal overview of a career area followed by the group presentations which gave students an excellent insight into career opportunities and a broader careers education.

Particular thanks must go to those who helped make the evening such a success. KGS parents continue to be a central part of the evening, without whose support the event would not provide such a wide range of inspirational and motivating careers talks – thank you so much for the help you offered. We also thoroughly enjoyed being able to welcome back several Old Kingstonians for the evening and greatly appreciate how much they give back to the School. Finally, thank you to the staff and Prefects who were involved. The whole evening requires such a large number of people to give of their time and expertise and this was greatly appreciated by all those involved, the students in particular.

We loved how the projections and lights told the story of some of Cezanne’s most famous works and how they moved around us on the floors and curved walls.
