Stringer Alumni: Where are they now? Finn Joughin - published in Sussex Bylines. Ex-student Finn Joughin (2020) who some of you may remember from plauong the pigeon loving Ronald in ‘The Wooden Frock’ wrote the article below which was published in Sussex Bylines. https://sussexbylines.co.uk/lockdown-in-manchester-how-not-to-run-a-university/ Finn said of the experience, ‘Indeed it is me. I never thought I’d be a published author but they were very keen on getting younger writers and it actually turned out to be pretty fun.’ Finn Joughin is currently studying for his A-levels at BHASVIC college in Brighton. Though new to journalism, he hopes to publish more works in the future. Ms Ettinger | Head of Drama
Ex student Caitlin Rothery recently won The National Flash Fiction Youth Competition 2021. The annual National Flash Fiction Youth Competition, founded in 2013, is organized by the Department of English and the International Flash Fiction Association (IFFA). You can read Caitlin’s short story ‘Company’ on the opposite page. The prize was £100 of National Book Tokens and publication on this website and in the April issue of Flash: The International Short-Short Story Magazine. We are really proud of Caitlin who (with Rebecca Tilley) wrote our lower school play ‘Affliction’ in 2017, when she was in year 9! The two of them were part of the audition process and attended every rehearsal, co-directing with Ms Butler and working with the cast in the transference of their script from page to stage. Caitlin is currently studying at BHASVIC, It’s great to see her creative spark continuing to glow.
