Year 13

One of the main highlights of my years at Bolton School has definitely been the variety of trips. From weekends to Patterdale to study trips to Spain, there’s always something to get involved in. Sport has also been a large part of my time here, and without the school I probably never would have learned to love lacrosse! However, the best part for me was the opportunity of being Head Girl in my final year, as having such an important role at such a great school has made my time here extremely memorable. Priya Guhathakurta C2 Caroline Blair and Maya Drummond reached the National Final of the Joutes Oratoires Lycéennes, a Frenchlanguage debate competition. The final was held at the Institut français du Royaume-Uni in London on 20 March, or International Francophonie Day: a date when countries around the world celebrate speaking French through cultural events honouring the language. The Bolton School team won their first debate against King’s College School, Wimbledon, arguing against the motion ‘Voting should be compulsory’. However, they lost their second debate against Westminster while supporting the motion ‘Multilingualism is a barrier to the unity of a nation’. Both girls enjoyed the day and received a very generous goody bag. I have enjoyed coordinating the school’s medical society this year. It gave me the chance to develop my own medical knowledge as well as helping others. I have been lucky enough to work alongside a dedicated team who have been extremely supportive in my application for medical school. Jennie Maher A1
