Friday 24 May 2024 Celebrating Sixth Form Life - By Leah Ward (U6) I picked up the clarinet at 10 years old with the Cyprus Music Service, and at the time I considered it a fun hobby. I enjoyed playing in ensembles and was a member of the St John's brass band in Episkopi, and with the music service took my grade 2 and grade 3 exams. However, moving to a new school took away my motivation to learn and perform. This, mixed with the Covid-19 pandemic and a six month break from weekly music lessons seemed to be my final straw; I was ready to quit. My motivation to continue was non-existent, until one evening in the summer of 2020, my dad and I took a bike ride down to the RAF base and sat on a bench by the hangars, where he told me about the RAF band, a career path I had never considered before. It was a turning point for me, and the first thing I said to my music teacher when returning to school was that I was going to join the band, no matter how hard I needed to work.Since then, my determination hasn't once faltered. The best decision I made was to joi

Thursday 16 May 2024 Celebrating Sixth Form Life - by Yemisi Akande (L6) It was an honour and thrilling opportunity to represent England, over the summer, at the 2023 commonwealth Youth Games in Trinidad and Tobago in the 100m and the mixed 4x100m relay. In my events, 100m, I came 6th in the final with a personal best of 11.6s and the mixed 4x100m, taking first leg and coming home with a silver medal. Being able to spend two weeks competing abroad, with other athletes my age, doing the sport I love, and in a beautiful and welcoming country, was a moment I’d never forget.

Tuesday 7 May 2024 Viasat Beyond: Space UK STEM innovation competition - Mesha Tennyson (U6) Viasat is a global satellite communications company operating in space, and, in this unique competition, I had to develop ideas to help space stay sustainable, safe, and equitable by tackling the exponential growth of space debris. There were three phases which have been in the running since October 2023. I had to give my answers to two questions: Why this issue was important to me? & What is my potential solution? I then proceeded to the second phase where I had to create a 60 second video about my idea. Next, Phase three; me and four others were invited to pitch our ideas to an esteemed panel of judges at the Viasat London HQ. I was guided by amazing mentors from the company, and I met so many inspiring people at this event. I placed 3rd out of 1,200 and won £1,875 as an educational grant! I have also won a work experience week with the other four amazing contestants in the summer to look forward to.
