Foreword and Thank You I cannot believe it has been six years since we launched the Foundation. We look back with pride at what has been achieved and are excited for the future. We are focussing on the ‘Field of Dreams’ project this year which you will be hearing about very soon! Catching up and re-engaging with our Old Girls’ is always great fun but the fundraising side is not the easiest part of this role and can be exhausting. However when you get a call from someone who wants to help it’s fantastic. Knowing our efforts are helping students and Old Girls’ is most rewarding. Our bursary programme continues to grow and with your help we can do even more! Thank you to everyone who attends our events and supports our students and Island-wide learning through the Foundation. Thank you to Mr Howarth for all his support and may I take this opportunity to thank Mrs Howarth. Mrs Howarth’s second hand uniform sales have provided the Foundation with over £1500 in 2016. These funds are vital to help with the running costs of the Foundation. We are most grateful as realise this does take a lot of work! Thank you to Philip Taylor, our Chair and members of the Foundation who are proactively helping us with our fund raising objectives. Bob Hassell, Alex Fearn, Jane Delap, Pippa Bastiman and welcome new members Alison Morgan, Julian Box and Laura Perez. A huge thank you to Sarah Robins who has been our Honorary Secretary since the Foundation launch. We miss you Sarah. Also to Shelagh Herbert who left us in 2016. Thank you both for all your wisdom. Our wonderful patron, Sally and Pip of course for their counsel and guidance. A wonderful resource to draw on and always a most enjoyable cup of tea! This magazine would not have a Notifications section if it wasn’t for the diligence of our wonderful Margaret Stone and Dr Sue Taylor. We don’t know what we would do without you both!

A message from our Patron Mrs Sally Le Brocq, OBE Pip and I continue to be so proud to be involved with the JCG Foundation. It continues to grow from strength to strength. As it moves in to Phase 2 of its evolution, fund raising for the wonderful field that has been secured, also providing a more robust bursary programme, we must not forget the support the Foundation provides for ‘our girls!’ and the support past pupils are now showing the Foundation.
Mrs Sally Le Brocq, OBE
You may remember Kelly Gomes, Class of 2016. We were lucky to meet Kelly at Grainville when she volunteered to join the Foundation’s Hawksford Debate. Kelly joined JCG for 6th form and is now studying Romance Languages at University. Whenever she is home for the holidays she contacts Leanda and asks if she can help with any Foundation activity. Kelly we are so proud of you!
Vaishali Shah, Class of 1986 Vaishali first spoke at JCG’s Women of Substance Day. As Head of Marketing for Minerva Trust and Corporate Services, Vaishali has been instrumental in bringing Minerva to JCG Foundation as a Corporate Partner for the third year running. Everything the Foundation does has to be self-funded. We are indebted to Minerva who covered the cost of the design and print of the Foundation’s ‘Gift Campaign’ brochure. Vaishali has facilitated an introduction for an Old Girl’s daughter to find work experience in India, which was most successful. Vaishali has also most recently joined the Ambassador Team for LEAP, the Foundation’s Leadership and Entrepreneurship Accelerator Programme taking place in Summer 2017. Courtney Bell, Class of 2013, another Foundation Girl. Courtney was desperate to find a way to infiltrate the very difficult Fashion marketing world. A quick call from Leanda to Gerald Voisin saw Courtney join Emily, Head of Marketing (another JCG Old Girl.) These two JCG not so Old Girls’ launched The White Company, Joules and Jo Malone within Voisins in the space of 6th months! Ella Tennant, Class of 2015 is studying at Oxford Brookes University. Ella contacted the Foundation who found her work experience with JCG Foundation Corporate Partner, Viberts. Vibert’s kindly sponsored the design and production of the Foundation’s ‘Leaving a Legacy’ brochure and also the JCG Foundation Loyalty Cards too. We are very proud to let you know that Viberts are so thrilled with Ella’s work they are providing her with a full bursary to become an Advocate!

Erin Andrews, Class of 2013, keeps in touch with the Foundation and we have watched with interest as she continues her career in Trust. Whilst at Stonehage Fleming, Erin introduced the company to the Foundation. Stonehage Fleming has been a corporate partner for 3 years. Without their support the Coppafeel Breast Cancer Awareness Programme would never have happened. 3000 local school children from 7 schools are breast cancer savvy thanks to Erin keeping in touch and making this happen! Stonehage also sponsored the Philanthropic Lunch Series bringing likeminded people together to discuss how we can raise funds for College. Sharon Joynt, Class of 1990, saw what the Foundation was doing on the Facebook group and got in touch introducing Lysaght Limited as a corporate partner. We were very grateful to Sharon and Lysaght who sponsored the Bio Medical Summer School in 2016 and hope they will continue as a corporate partner for many years to come. Charlotte Parker, Year 12, is enjoying a Pharmacy placement at the Coop thanks to the Foundation’s network. The Foundation has introduced Charlotte to Foundation Girl, Laura Heward, Class of 2013 who is also studying Pharmacy at University and is helping Charlotte as she looks to fly the JCG nest. Kier Mulholland, Class of 2006 contacted the Foundation last year in her role at Edinburgh Expert Valuation and Auction House, Lyon and Turnbull. The Foundation hosted a charming ‘Antiques Roadshow’ event on the Terrace at JCG. Lyon and Turnbull also sponsored the re-launched London Lunch at Tramp in November thanks to Kier re-connecting. Lucy Sanderson, Class of 1997 has most recently offered her honed social media skills to help the Foundation reach those JCG girls on all the various platforms. I prefer a hard copy myself but fantastic that our Old Girls’ are helping the Foundation with all their skills. We are delighted that many Class of 2016 are getting touch and we are successfully linking them up with corporate partners looking for new staff. The Equiom team recently came in to help explain to students the importance of tailoring their CV’s for specific roles and have also offered interview experience to all JCG 6th Form students! We didn’t have that in my day! These are just a few examples of how we, the Foundation is supporting individual past students and how, as Old Girls’ we can support the Foundation. If you do feel you could help on the Foundation’s mentoring programme or introduce your company to the Foundation to support a myriad of programmes benefitting not just JCG Girls but other local students, I would very much encourage you to do so.

A message from our Principal Mr Carl Howarth We were delighted to see so many of you at the 2016 Spring Reunion and were particularly touched that some of you travelled to Jersey especially to attend and welcome home our beloved Library. We look forward to seeing many of you again at the 2017 Spring Reunion which this year will be held at St Brelade’s Bay on Saturday 18th March. Having listened to you, we recognise the need to forge stronger links with our alumni who are living in the UK and were thrilled to be able to re-launch the London Lunch in November last year. It was marvellous to see so many of you, both original JCGA members and recent Alumni who travelled to London from Universities all over the country to be with us. This is testament to the work of the Foundation and its continued endeavours to find you and re-connect with you all. We hope to see you at the 2017 London Lunch. This work is not just important to allow us to stay in touch with you all but also provides us with the opportunity to harness the massive pool of experience in our Alumni. We are most encouraged, through the Foundation’s initiatives, how many of you have come forward and offered your time to help current student; be it helping individuals with UCAS forms for a specific career area, providing work experience and even bursaries for our students as they join your businesses. A huge thank you to you all! Historically, the JCGA raised £1000 a year. In five years, the Foundation’s activity has increased this to approx £80K a year through its many initiatives and Corporate Partner Programme. The Foundation now also provides four student bursaries and most recently facilitated in providing a significant University bursary for a JCG student to achieve her dreams of being a Doctor. Despite all this great work, in the Alumni Communications Survey last year 41.7% of you said you were not aware that the Foundation is the charitable arm of the College, and many have asked: • Why does JCG have a Foundation? • Why does JCG need to galvanise support from local businesses, parents and alumni? • What benefits does the JCG Foundation bring? I hope that you all received our Leaving a Legacy brochure, the production of which was kindly sponsored by Viberts, which seeks to answer these questions.

We are all familiar with the much-publicised need for the States of Jersey to make further spending cuts. The States of Jersey Education Department does not have an infinite budget but we strongly believe this should not hinder us from remaining at the forefront of education in the Island and this requires a Capital Investment Programme. JCG ‘Field of Dreams’ Campaign This year we launch the Capital Project Campaign for a new field. We are looking to raise £150,000 by December. This outside area offers JCG and Prep the green space it has historically so desperately lacked and we look forward to sharing our plans for how we are going to make this a reality for the College. We hope you will support in whatever way you can. JCG Foundation Bursary Programme We also believe that any female student who meets our entrance criteria and who wishes to study at JCG should be able to do, irrespective of their financial circumstances. This requires an even more robust Bursary Programme. In recent years, we have seen a significant rise in applications for bursaries. To alleviate some of this need, the JCG Foundation has now secured a University Bursary plus four new bursaries for current students. The Foundation has also received a significant donation to the PTA Trust Fund. This fund was created by the JCG PTA to assist in the short-term payment of school fees or expenses connected with the College for current students should there be a sudden change in a families circumstances, this bursary can ensure there is no additional disruption to our students’ education. However, with your help we can do so much more. Every donation towards our bursary fund will help towards providing a Jersey student with a life-changing educational opportunity. As a member of the JCG Family I hope you will consider investing in our future by contributing to our Legacy Campaign. If you would like to discuss this subject with me please contact my secretary Lisa Biddlecombe on 516208 to arrange a meeting. Thank you for your time and support. Together I truly believe we can make this great College exceptional. Yours sincerely Carl Howarth Principal.

A message from our Editors Jasmine Box and Tirion Jones, Year 12 The opportunity to act as Editors for the JCG Foundation Magazine is one we will not soon forget. For both of us, a career in journalism is a definite possibility and thus working with the JCG Foundation to create this edition was a very enriching and valuable experience. Working as a foundation girl is extremely enjoyable and a fantastic manner of which to contribute to the college. Undoubtedly, the task of contacting past JCG girls and collating all the interviews was an incredibly interesting assignment. As a result, we now have a tremendous understanding about elements of the history of Jersey College for Girls and moreover, feel both motivated and inspired by the lives that the alumni are leading and have led during their time at JCG and beyond. The JCG Foundation creates links between girls of JCG – both past and present. The ability to remain informed of the new movements and successes of fellow JCG girls is essential in our understanding of the evolution of our school. We truly did have so much fun undertaking this project and were able to gather a collection of wonderful memories and achievements of which we are delighted to share with you inside this edition of the JCG Foundation Magazine. We hope that we can endeavour to achieve the same calibre of success and happiness of these ladies interviewed and will one day be able to share our stories and forever remain connected to our roots here at JCG. A huge thank you to Leanda for what has been a brilliant opportunity!
Tirion Jones and Jasmine Box

JCG Foundation News and Successes JCG Foundation News The JCG Foundation continues to grow with 15 corporate partners sponsoring a myriad of programmes and now offering 3 bursaries, two Year 7 to Year 13 and two 6th Form bursaries. We also received a generous donation from a friend of JCG for the JCG Scholarship Emergency Fund. Whilst run separately, Polyphony now falls under the remit of the Foundation. Most recently we were thrilled to be able to facilitate a significant International University bursary for a JCG student.
Gift and Legacy Campaigns Launched at Prize Giving The JCG 6 year plan requires ÂŁ3.5 million. The Foundation has launched the Gift and Legacy Campaigns to support this plan.
We hope you have all received the Legacy Campaign letter and brochure explaining more.
We are all familiar with the much-publicised need for the States of Jersey to make further spending cuts.

The Education Department does not have an infinite budget but we strongly believe this should not hinder us from remaining at the forefront of education in the Island and this requires a capital investment programme. Furthermore we believe that any student who meets our entrance criteria and wishes to study at JCG should be able to do so, irrespective of their financial circumstances. This requires a robust bursary programme. We cannot do any of this without the support of our parents, alumni and other stakeholders.

JCG Foundation News and Successes Philanthropic Lunch Series Following on from the successful Philanthropic Event held at the Royal Yacht in 2015, we have now held a series of Philanthropic Lunches in Mr Howarth’s study. We have invited potential benefactors and corporates. A simple school lunch with like minded souls discussing how they can support us is beginning to bear fruit.

Feedback has been very positive so we will continue to host these lunches in 2017 to give us an opportunity to share the objectives of the Gift and Legacy campaigns.

Foundation Ambassador
Lucy Amelina Sanderson Class of 1997 Creating content for a living is a passion borne from my time at JCG. I am a copywriter and content marketer, keen to support the JCG Foundation in any way I can. Promoting the camaraderie that makes JCG so special is something that really should continue long after the last school term is over, and thanks to the JCG Foundation, this opportunity is very doable. Whether you were a renegade (like me) or an academic with the utmost focus at school - we all have one thing in common and that’s understanding that strong women pull each other up and support one another. The JCG Foundation is kind of all about girl power, and I’m a huge advocate of that!

Foundation Girl Feature
Charlotte Parker - My story Year 12
Charlotte Parker Leanda is very supportive and it is lovely to be able to drop in to Foundation HQ to chat to her as she always has great advice and contacts across the Island. Leanda is very passionate about helping both present and former JCG girls. The Foundation is amazing as it has enabled me to get in contact with a former JCG girl, Laura Heward, Class of 2013 who is at Uni studying Pharmacy. Laura was also a Foundation so Leanda put us in touch. This has been a great help to me and I believe the Foundation is a fantastic way to make links with the Alumni of the college.
I feel very privileged to be a student at JCG as is has offered me so many fantastic opportunities. I am hoping to go to University in 2018 and am considering studying Pharmacy. I recently contacted Leanda at the Foundation to ask about getting help with work experience. Leanda is helping me to complete my CV and is planning on introducing me to one of the Island HR companies. She also helped to write a letter of introduction which I was able to send out to several pharmacies. Within a week of the letter being sent, I have been offered a weekly session at the Co-Op pharmacy in St Peter which I will be able to undertake during my Friday enrichment session.
Thank you to the Foundation and especially Leanda for all your hard work! You’re amazing!

Foundation Girl Feature
Megan Murphy - My story Year 12
like me would be honoured to have the opportunity I have. This is why I want to make a difference. As a Foundation Girl I am keen to investigate how I can provide more bursaries. Leanda has created the role of Student Bursary Ambassador and I am very proud to be the first one! I personally feel that I am responsible to give other girls the opportunities I am lucky to be experiencing at JCG regardless of their financial circumstances. From my own experience, I know many girls would love to be standing where I am now but were put off by how much it would cost and the strain on their parents, this is what I'm going to change!
Megan Murphy I first met Leanda at my old school. The Foundation brought the breast cancer awareness charity Coppafeel! www.coppafeel.org to 7 schools in Jersey and we were lucky that Le Rocquier was one of them!
A JCG Bursary costs ÂŁ6,500 a year. A benefactor pays ÂŁ4,500 and the rest is made up by a tax refund from the government. This provides school fees and some money for uniform/trips etc for a student for one year.
I was most impressed that another school were adding value to the wider community working with other schools to promote such an important and possibly life saving topic! 3000 local students are now breast cancer savvy thanks to this project organised by the Foundation.
I want to help make the Foundation raise awareness around the Island and make people aware of the amazing things it does to support students and Old Girls'. People often don't realise the Foundation is the charitable arm of the College which endeavours to make a difference and bring important experiences and knowledge to not only JCG Girls, but all students in Jersey. As JCG Foundation Girls we are all hugely grateful for the opportunities we are so lucky to experience and have so much to thank and praise Leanda for what she does for us.
It was at this assembly I first wondered if I could join JCG for my A Levels. After striving for success in my GCSEs I managed to achieve my dream of joining JCG for my A Levels in September 2016. I have been very lucky to be able to continue my studies here and I know many other girls
I want to make a difference and aspire to inspire other girls around me to do the same.

Interview
Rebecca Pallot Class of 2012
Upon graduating JCG in 2012, I left the Island and moved to Oxford to undertake an engineering apprenticeship with BMW. The apprenticeship was 4 years during which I did some project work for the department I now work in. I was destined to go elsewhere in the business but after a short 3 month stint with them they offered me a full time permanent position. I now work for BMW as a Process Engineer specialising in corrosion protection (anti-rust) at the MINI site at Plant Oxford.
The company have also funded me through an HNC and are now supporting me through a Mechanical Engineering degree. During my time at BMW I was very honoured to receive the Freeman of Oxford Engineering Apprentice Award and have recently been nominated by BMW for the Auto Car Women in Engineering Rising Star Award.

Anne Larbalestier Class of 1964
Back to the School Run It was with great pleasure and not a little pride that I spent a few hours the last weekend in August sewing name tapes on to my youngest grandchildren’s school uniforms. Right, you might think at this point that I am losing it, pride maybe but pleasure? The pride bit comes from the family connection to JCG, my great-aunt had been a pupil at the Jersey Ladies College as it had been known, I am an; old girl’ as is my daughter and now her two little ones are pulips at JC Prep. In fact, Manon is now in proud possession of her two prizes awarded by the College, one from the 1890’s and the other 1900’s, beautiful leather bound books with the school logo on the front. The pleasure bit comes from the fact that I am in Jersey and able to pop round to help with these little chores. We had spent the last few years living in France, most of that time with the house on the ever-increasingly slow French housing market and with an ever-increasingly disabled husband. I had made the decision last Christmas to come home, come what may. Asking my daughter to find somewhere for us to live, not an easy task given the needs of my husband and to liaise with her brother and sister-in-law as to the exact day of departure before the end of August, I packed up the house and dealt with all the niggling details of moving from one house to another and one country to another, and so here I am back in Jersey and that weekend was a real pleasure.

There was more to come, I had been enlisted (I volunteered really) to help with the school run once term had started. The car I had in France had been left there, up for sale, it was left had drive and diesel so not really much use here and given the disparity in the size of the roads a big big! So having bought my new car, it was with some trepidation that the second week of term saw me going solo with two small children strapped in to their booster seats in the car with me. I had been a passenger with my daughter the previous week in order to learn the ropes of where to go and where to park, this last never being my forte and not really knowing the length of my car was going to bone of the difficulties to overcome!
carry bags and water bottles and all sorts of things. I also collected junk modelling stuff and that was taken into class when I had a carrier bag full, I was trying to do my bit! Half term and I quietly congratulated myself, so far, so good! It was good not to set the alarm at 6am although that was really only 7am for me, still in French time, but I did miss the company of my two little passengers each morning! The timing being set, by the fact that my son-in-law starts work at 7.30am and my daughter too when she is on an ‘early.’ I am needed to be takeover Granny at 7am! The second half of the term has started well with Jean-Luc now reading his homework book to us, with Manon helping on the difficult works, before she reads hers. Spellings are still checked on a Friday. ‘I Spy’ is played occasionally along with number games. Sometimes Granny gets to read to them from one of their books kept in the car for just such a purpose, then in to school before the first bell goes. Manon new lets me go before the second bell, she has gained confidence to stay and play with her friends while I take Jean-Luc into his class, then back home for a well-earned coffee before starting my day.
The grandchildren, as they do, wound Granny round their little fingers but gradually boundaries were made and they knew what they could and couldn’t get away with! We played ‘I Spy’ and number games and on to simple mental arithmetic en route. With traffic on the school run being bumper to bumper my confidence with my new right-hand drive car on left hand drive roads increased and Manon decided she would read her homework book to us and then, once parked, her spellings for that week were checked!
I am already enjoying Spring term and look forward to Summer, holidays and back to Autumn for as long as I can, or am needed.
The early days of the Autumn term were really lovely, an Indian Summer indeed, so we were able to wait in the playground before the bell went, that was good and I enjoyed seeing them run around and play with all their mates, though of course I was pack horse and asked to
I am pretty certain I am a help to my daughter and son-in-lay, I think my grandchildren are enjoying have Granny around, but I know that they are all making me a VERY HAPPY GRANNY.

Melanie Taylor (known as La Cloche at school) Class of 1970
tantrums. The placatory parental remark was to think about all the interesting documents I would be typing. My response was that I would rather be writing them!
It’s Never too Late to Learn When I was going through my late mother’s papers I found a prospectus for the Jersey College Girls for the year I started at Mont Cantel. I was eight years old and the year was 1961.
Having realised that secretarial skills could provide me with a means of earning a living in England, aged 18 I left the island for London. Before I married I worked for national and international organisations, meeting and working for captains of industry and national and international politicians. Yes, my mother was correct, after I had my first child I did stop work and after my divorce my secretarial skills helped me keep a roof over me and my children’s heads.
Education in the 60s was very different from what it is today, however, the ideals of the school remain unchanged. That prospectus stated the Head’s ambition was to “offer the very best educational experience for every student”. I admit I did not come out with the best results. Perhaps it was because when it came to my O level choices I voiced my intention to study at university. My mother immediately dashed my hopes telling me it was a waste of time educating girls because they would get married, have children and that university changed people and not always for the better. Instead of rising to this parental challenge, I gave up doing any school work (except art) and was a pain both at school and at home. My mother’s vision was that I atttend secretarial college so I “would always have a job”. I flunked all bar two of my O-levels and had to re-sit my failures in order just to get into the local secretarial college. I completed these in the November and finished my A-level art in my one year in the Lower 6th. The revelation that I needed O-levels to be a secretary was a major wake up call that the big wide world did not like little girls who threw
When my boys were wondering what to study after they left school I was determined I was not going to repeat my experience and stamp on their ambitions. They chose what they wanted to study and my second one left home in 1999. A chance reading of a newspaper advert offering part-time degrees gave me an opportunity to study The History of Art, Architecture & Design at Kingston University. Despite only having art A-level I was accepted on to the course and completed my degree in 2005. I then spent a further year studying for a full-time taught Master of Arts degree in medieval and early modern studies at the University of Kent, spending much of the time in Canterbury cathedral library and archives.

JCG FOUNDATION MAGAZINE MARCH 2017:Layout 1 10/03/2017 15:07 Page 35
Manners and open mindedness were very much part of the school ethos in the 60s and these values remain at the centre of the school’s ideals. The instilling of these values will develop confidence in the JCG students of today carrying them into careers where they will develop into the leaders of tomorrow.
Needless to say my mother was surprised at my decision and told me that it was a pointless exercise. Unfortunately she did not live long enough to see me gain a 2:1 BA (Hons), then at the age of 53 be awarded a Master’s of Arts degree with merit. The secretarial skills have been useful in that, as a mature student, I did not have to learn how to use a keyboard or a computer before going to Kingston University, unlike a dentist friend who did the same degree (just for fun) and handwrote all her essays. Being able to do shorthand meant I could take down lectures virtually verbatim.
Despite my best efforts to ignore them, my teachers clearly instilled a sense of ambition, motivation and staying power that has enabled me to achieve success as a mature student. Despite being a reluctant pupil, I hope my later career reflects the College’s values of ‘Aspire, Inquire, Excel and Belong” and demonstrates that it is never too late to learn.
Since graduating from Kent I have taught art history and medieval history for the Workers Education Association. The WEA courses were mostly attended by retired people: learning does not stop have to stop when you leave work. I continue to run an art history group that I started nine years ago, I am a published novelist and write a monthly column on Renaissance art for www.TudorSociety.com. Despite my not taking advantage of the opportunities that school offered, my desire for knowledge was aroused. The school prospectus states that a student will become a rigorous and imaginative thinker. In order to understand and interpret the documents and paintings I study and write about, it is necessary to put myself into the mindset of a Renaissance artist and/or writer.

Interview
Charlotte Connell Class of 2014
Having been lucky enough to be asked to write this piece, it made me reflect on my interest for the discipline of Geography, which led me back to the exceedingly fulfilling time I spent at JCG. When I joined the school as a beady-eyed and extremely eager year 9 student is where I really started engaging with the subject. Volcanos, deserts and the London Olympic games were just a few of the earliest topics to captivate my early adolescent mind; tectonics still being one of my favorite areas of study even now.
As I discovered last September, nothing can really prepare you for the bridge from school life to university, arguably one of the most notable milestones in life. We were all warned about this colossal leap by a plethora of sources, teachers, parents, siblings; but it’s not quite the same until you actually get there. Caterpillars to butterflies, schoolgirls to independent adults; I have found university has already taught me so many valuable life lessons, and it does sound incredibly cliché, but it is in fact the case. My advice to anyone going off to university would be to pick a degree that genuinely interests and excites you. Although a big part of life at higher education is about sports, societies, friends, food and nightlife, your degree will take up most of your time.
Over my years at JCG, I also really enjoyed learning about the diverse local geography that still governs the island today, especially having moved to Jersey from London, which is such a polar opposite to the small and unique island community. I quickly became settled into College life with help from the fortified friendships I made during my time at school, making the move on to university in a large new city only a more daunting prospect.
My arrival to Edinburgh University in September last year was no different to the stereotype, clutching my reams of previous revision notes with the hope that they would act as a starting point for lectures, or be helpful for an assignment or essay. However I can firmly say that I now absolutely love it. It is a city steeped in history, stature and traditions and I have probably spent more time then I should exploring and eating my way around the capital. The studies are rigorous and demanding, but I feel fully engaged in my studies. Adjusting to being ‘spoken at’ in a lecture as
My choice to read Geography at university has stemmed from a desire to know more about the environments that surround me in everyday life and on my travels abroad. One of my great hobbies is travelling and experiencing different cultures and traditions across the world and I believe it is this curiosity that encouraged me to pursue my studies further.

JCG FOUNDATION MAGAZINE MARCH 2017:Layout 1 10/03/2017 15:07 Page 37
opposed to being taught in the traditional sense in a classroom also takes a bit of getting used to. Geography at a degree level has greatly developed my quantative, analytical and theoretical skills. It has allowed me to become more immersed in current affairs and helped broaden my knowledge and understanding of events not only closer to home but further afield too. We are lucky at Edinburgh, that in addition to studying one core degree subject, in the first two years you get to choose four extra modules from any degree course. This is an extremely broad selection ranging from criminology to astronomy to a foreign language so there is something for all interests. With exams creeping up in early May, I find it hard to believe I have almost completed my first year at Edinburgh. I’ve had a great start to University life and can really recommend it to anyone.

Interview
Kier Mulholland Class of 2006
From the advice of my mentors, a Masters at the Newcastle University was the next step in Museums Studies. This was key in learning the fundamentals of curatorship and introduced me to my peers in the sector. What subjects did you study at JCG and did these help you within your career? Studying history for A Level has been intrinsic for my career. The guidance and professionalism of Doctor Taylor inspired a curiosity in me that wanted to explore the past. In my current role working at an auction house, I regularly research the provenance of silver and jewellery to not only work out the value but also help develop the story of the object for the new owner.
After finishing your studies at JCG, what did you go on to do? Like all students wishing to gain higher education, the mainland is the first point of call. I decided to travel as far as I could go by going to the far reaches of the British Isles.
The main reason for moving to JCG was primarily the quality of the music department, which I studied throughout A Level. Performing in the production of Guys and Dolls was a fantastic experience and allowed me to integrate with different year groups. The ability to interact with those of different ages and backgrounds is key to building relationships with clients and fellow members of staff in any position.
I read Cultural History as my Undergraduate degree at the University of Aberdeen. It was here that I decided that I wanted to pursue a career in the Arts and volunteered in various cultural organisations including The Aberdeen Maritime Museum and none other than Jersey Museum for a summer undergraduate internship.

JCG FOUNDATION MAGAZINE MARCH 2017:Layout 1 10/03/2017 15:07 Page 39
What qualities and skills did you develop during your time at JCG? There is a huge sense of community at JCG, in my final year, it was Garrett Anderson who won cock house. My mother and cousin were both in Garrett Anderson which also encourages a huge sense of pride. The investment that is made in each student at JCG allows individuality. The reassurance that an education is not just what is learnt in the classroom, allowed me to explore a career that marries both culture and business. How did you end up where you are today? Apart from a lot of dedication and patience, working and volunteering multiple jobs at one time, it is definitely the people that you meet along the way that help shape your career.
“I am delighted to have been able to introduce the JCG Foundation to my employer, Lyon and Turnbull.
Accepting opportunities can be risky, I personally left a job at National Museums Scotland to start an internship with Lyon & Turnbull auctioneers which ultimately lead to my current position. I am now on the career ladder and working towards understanding the collections better and striving to develop Lyon & Turnbull internationally.
We were thrilled to host the Valuation Day at JCG last Summer, sponsor the London Lunch and look forward to working with Leanda going forward to add our support.�

Lauren Hopkins Class of 2016
What did you do after leaving JCG?
What is the fondest memory you have of JCG
Whilst studying for my A-Levels I developed an interest in Marketing, but I knew entry-level jobs were few and far between. I applied for a few different positions in financial companies, but did not feel much passion for them. I then came across a Digital marketing role at a cloud computing company called Calligo. As soon as I walked into the office I knew that it was where I wanted to be. Since starting my role I have not looked back; it has enabled me to grow as a marketer and learn so much about the digital world. My role involves looking after our company’s social media channels, coordinating our events and other various tasks and campaigns. My journey has provided me with so many different skills that I feel will support me throughout my career.
I remember fondly the warm and friendly atmosphere of JCG. All of the staff and students are always willing to help. Due to unforeseen circumstances in my personal life, I found myself struggling to continue with my studies. The staff at JCG went above and beyond to support me throughout the experience and achieve A-Level success, for which I shall be eternally grateful. What subjects did you take while at JCG, which one was your favourite and why? I joined JCG at AS-Level and chose to study Art, Psychology and Finance. My favourite of the three was Psychology. I am fascinated with the way humans interact and why they behave the way they do, which strongly complements my career in Marketing, as the customer experience that we create is key. Having also studied Art my creativity is also a valued skill that aids me in my chosen career.
What life skills did JCG give you and how did they help you later in life? JCG gave me the confidence and independence to choose what I felt was best for my future. It also taught me invaluable organisation and time management skills.
