The Lambrookian - Issue 4 OLD LAMBROOKIANS Catching up with our Old Lambrookians' first term at Senior School We are proud of each and every one of our Lambrook pupils and all that they go on to achieve. Leaving Lambrook and moving on to Senior School is a big step and as a school, we thoroughly prepare and equip our pupils for this next stage of their academic journey. 32
After a half term settling into their new respective schools, we caught up with four Old Lambrookians to find out how life at Senior School had been so far. l Former Head Boy, Seb is now at Abingdon School in Oxfordshire l Star of the Stage, Amelie is now at Marlborough College l All-round sportsman Sylvester has headed to Eton College l Also an all-rounder in the pool and on the sports field, Emily is at Charterhouse What has been the highlight of your time at your new school so far? Seb: I have loved the sporting aspect as I have been playing loads of rugby for the U14A team. However, what I have enjoyed most is definitely making new friends and getting to know new teachers, my house mistress and other students in my house. Amelie: My highlight of Marlborough College so far has been meeting new people and making friends on the sports pitch, in the classroom, or even around the breakfast table. Sylvester: My highlight of Eton so far must be the first time we arrived. I got to meet new people who I now have gotten to know so well, as well as having the opportunity to explore new interests. Emily: My highlight at Charterhouse has to be the sport. It is really fun to play with people I have known for a couple of months. I have made so many great new friends and I can’t wait to make many more through sport. I have also enjoyed House singing very much. Particularly because I've met so many girls in the older years who are all super nice and our performance was really fun. Which academic lessons are you particularly enjoying? Seb: I am loving history because we are learning about the French Revolution which is really interesting. I have also just started Spanish which I recommend! Emily: During this term, I have really enjoyed Spanish and French because my teachers are so kind and understanding. I have never taken Spanish before but I am picking it up quite quickly because the lessons are really entertaining, making me want to learn more. What have you enjoyed getting involved in outside of lessons? Seb: I have loved playing lots of sport as there is so much on offer. At the moment I am playing rugby, some hockey and I have a gym session a week. I’m planning to get involved in the school magazine in the summer term. Amelie: Outside of the curriculum, I am loving ‘Drawing on location’ which is an art club. This also lets me discover more parts of Marlborough and made me feel more at home whilst drawing. As well as this, I love hockey because I enjoy getting on the sports pitch and running around. It has been great to see some of my Lambrook friends at competitive fixtures against other schools! Are you boarding? What is that like? Amelie: I am fully boarding at Marlborough and I'm really enjoying it because you settle in very easily, since you're with your friends the whole time. Boarding also allows you to make better friendships with your housemates. Sylvester: At Eton we all have to board, but I feel like it is the most important part of school life. It’s a step up because we are given a lot of freedom and independences. We are given our own rooms, however, we still see our housemates all the time. It feels like a family home to be honest. What, for you, are the differences between Prep School and Senior School? Amelie: The differences between Lambrook and larger schools are that the campus is much larger so it's easier to get lost, (I know that from personal experience!) as well as there being a lot more people. The Lambrookian - Issue 4 Emily: Senior School is so much bigger than my old Prep School, partly because there are so many age ranges. At Senior School you are given so much more responsibility to keep active, eat well and keep yourself busy. I have made so many friends at Charterhouse whilst still keeping in contact with my old friends from Lambrook. Is there anything that you miss about Prep School? Seb: Mostly I miss my old friends. As I was the only person from Lambrook to go to Abingdon I have had to make double the effort to keep in touch with old Lambrookians! Emily: I definitely miss the sports fixtures at Lambrook. I also miss my lifelong friends and teachers who made my time at Lambrook so memorable. Being at Charterhouse makes me look back and see how lucky I was to go to such an amazing school which then opened so many opportunities for me at Charterhouse. How did Lambrook prepare you for your move to Senior School? Seb: Other than the academic subjects and breadth of extra-curricular activities, Lambrook has given me the selfconfidence and self-belief to go forward into a new environment and with that, the resilience to meet the new challenges of Senior School life. Amelie: Lambrook prepared me for Senior School very well. We had various talks about how to prepare yourself for Senior School which I found very useful. I particularly enjoyed it when old Lambrook pupils came in to discuss moving on forward to Senior School. Lambrook prepared me so well for Senior School and I'm so grateful because it has made my transition to Marlborough very smooth - thanks to Lambrook! 33
