SCHOOL COUNCILSTUDENT VOICEThe heart of every school is the student body. With so many different voicesin this vibrant and diverse school community, it is imperative that every voiceis heard through the medium of the school council. Accepting opinions andideas allows for us to improve the lives of the school's foundations; thepupils.Alex Palfreman - Chair of the 6th Form Student CouncilMy name is Temoore Ali Zulfiqar and I am a student here at St Bonaventure’s6th Form.Last year when I was in the same position as you, I had no idea what collegeI wanted to go to and what subjects I wanted to study. I decided to go to theSt Bonaventure’s Open Day because my cousin had attended andrecommended it to me. He is now in his third year of Medicine at St George'sUniversity of London.I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from the St. Bonaventure's Open Day butas soon as I got there I felt welcome and the atmosphere created was veryfriendly and supportive. I managed to speak to a lot of teachers andstudents, and they really helped guide me to choose the correct courses todo whether or not I chose them as my 6th Form.Of all the Open Days I went to, I felt most comfortable at St Bonaventure’sand I felt that out of all of the colleges and 6th Forms I visited that StBonaventure’s was the best choice for me.I was fortunate enough to be offered a place and it is an amazing set up. Thequality of teaching here is second to none, every single teacher doeseverything they possibly can so you can achieve your best and push you soyou can achieve the best you possibly can.Choosing St Bonaventure’s was one of the hardest decisions I have ever hadto make as your whole life depends on how well you do in your A-Levels. Iam very happy I chose to come to St Bonaventure’s as I believe it's the bestplace I can be to help me get into a top Russell Group University and startme on my chosen career path.16 17
