SIXTH FORM Albam Exorna Award This is a prize of £1000 generously given by the Dunstonian Association each year. The Award recognizes the Year 13 student who best demonstrates that they have ‘adorned the white’ during their time at St Dunstan’s. In their application, students reflect on their time with the school, thinking about what they have both given and received. The standard has been very high in recent years and therefore this year the Dunstonian Association introduced a runner-up prize of £250. The judges were Alex Brewer, Head of Sixth Form, Chair of the Association, David Edwards and alumni Jemima Davenport and Tom Cleverley-Lynch, who himself won the prize in 2020. The standard was exceptionally high with all the students demonstrating powerful achievements and contributions to the College. Such was the standard that in fact we could not split two runners up, therefore, the £250 was divided equally between Zain Shukur and Willow Fenner. The judges were, however, unanimous about the first prize. This student had not only achieved highly in her career with the College, but she was also winningly reflective of her time with us, and, in the opinion of the judges, entirely fulfilled her blank shield journey. Congratulations to the winner, Denise Spigler.

British Physics Olympiad The Year 12 Physicists entered the British Physics Olympiad in March. This paper set by Oxford University gives students the opportunity to try questions far more challenging than those typically found in the A Level examination by involving calculus and simultaneous equations, plus making students comprehend and infer large amounts of Physics from the questions. Patrick Zheng, Kewen Wang, James Yan and Kofi Mireku all attained Bronze awards, whilst Cameron Spence, Frank Wang and Eric Wang all achieved the impressive Silver award.
