Advice for the Sixth Form You should regard the Sixth Form as an opportunity to broaden your academic interests and deepen your intellectual instincts. An opportunity to think, to explore, and to grow. Do not stand at the side watching; get involved and be busy. Five things you should try to be: • Curious • Organised • Ambitious • Creative • Hardworking Five things you should try to do: • Learn Independently – don’t wait to be told what to do • Take Advice – don’t be held back by your own self-regard • Collaborate – work with your friends – listen – talk • Reflect – be aware of the world beyond the College gates • Work Hard – good universities are highly competitive – you will need the best grades possible You may notice that hard work appears in both lists; this is not an accident. Good luck.
