SCHOOL HIGHLIGHT:

SCHOOL HIGHLIGHT: BOHUNT SIXTH FORM

Bohunt Sixth Form is still evolving in some areas but remains consistently a place that is welcoming and ambitious. Already students have a clear sense of where they want to be after A levels and most of our students have already booked or attended some university activities.

Two of our Religious Studies Students Lily Ayo and Isabelle Hauffe visited Auschwitz as part of the Lessons from Auschwitz Project with the Holocaust memorial trust. This is what they had to share about their experience:

“Having the opportunity to be part of the Lessons From Auschwitz Project has widened our thoughts and taught us lessons that we would have never learnt in the classroom. This experience will be remembered for the rest of our lives and should never be forgotten.”

A group of A level English Literature students, accompanied by some prospective Literature students from Year 11, visited the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford on 19th April to watch an acclaimed performance of The Kite Runner. The evening proved to be an excellent opportunity for the students to develop their understanding and appreciation of this superb novel.

On Wednesday 31st January students from Bohunt Sixth Form on the Aspire to Oxbridge programme visited Mansfield College Oxford. The students met current Oxford University students and were involved in an academic taster day. The absorbing day gave them an insight into the process of applying to Oxbridge and a taste of life as a student at Oxford.

Sixth Form students attended a Model United Nations debate at Gordon’s School in Surrey. Resolutions on prisoners’ rights and illicit substances were considered. It was a great opportunity to experience a ‘conference-style’ debate, and to meet some experienced and enthusiastic Gordon’s debaters.

Art students developing 3D outcomes: Alongside personal project development students have been developing skills and techniques in a variety of media. Most recently we are exploring the use of clay for three dimensional outcomes. Initial experiences in core methods such as throwing, modelling, coiling and slab construction have been fantastic. Students have already started to be ambitious and push the boundaries of what is achievable in this media.
