Congratulations to Bethany Parkhouse of
Year 12 who will be enjoying a 2 week study
visit to Hamelin (the “Pied Piper” town!) in
August where she will stay with a host family.
There was a lot of competition for places
and she will be joined by 11 other people
from all around the UK and Ireland. She will
attend a German school for part of the time
and upon returning will have to give a presentation
to a primary school about Germany
and her trip. She is not supposed to speak
English whilst there so it should do wonders
for her spoken German! We wish her the best
of luck!
Hannah White of Year 11 has an obvious
flair for languages! She is currently studying
Welsh, French,
Mandarin Chinese,
Japanese, Korean,
Russian, Polish,
Italian and
Thai. She has secured
a place in Atlantic
College in
Hong Kong where
she will study the
International Baccalaureate
and study
Cantonese Chinese,
to add to her impressive repertoire. Due to
the cultural diversity of the college, only 2
places have been offered to British students
this year, and Hannah is one of them! She
was selected on merit by the National Committee
of Britain, and underwent a rigorous
process of application forms, selective interview
and nomination to the college. Hannah
is contemplating studying international relations
in the future. Congratulations Hannah,
we wish you well for the years ahead!
Silva Brindle (7T) went to Paris during the
Whitsun holidays and wrote a wonderfully
detailed diary about her trip which she shared
with her teacher and class. Silva was particularly
enthralled by Paris’ vast array of artistic
and cultural sights.
Our A level students await their results to
finalise their future plans. Cameron Jones has
applied for an internship in Buenos Aires as
part of his gap year and then hopes to do a degree
in Spanish and Russian. Beth Morgan,
who recently received the Myerscough
Schwenk A-Level Languages Cup at the
Awards Ceremony, is eagerly anticipating
starting her degree in French and linguistics at
Southampton University. Best wishes to all
those receiving their results and heading off to
different destinations.
Libero Tassinari (7X) spent ten days in Foix,
near Toulouse in the Pyrenees in the south of
France visiting a French family. He travelled
independently, attended school with his partner
and experienced complete immersion in the
language, attending lessons in French. He also
took part in school activities and trips. Both
culturally and
linguistically it
was an invaluable
experience.
Bravo,
Libero!
