SPOTLIGHT ON…

JOHN GALBRAITH, Y13

What gets you out of bed in the morning?

A combination of ambition and competition: doing as much as possible and being the best I can be drives me on.

Why did you choose Bohunt Sixth Form?

I knew I would be able to grow with the Sixth Form: it was a place I felt comfortable in and felt I would be able to do whatever I wanted here in terms of my future ambitions.

What is the best thing about Bohunt Sixth Form?

The community hub. It is so different from the secondary school. We know everyone and each other, like a big family. There are branches of that family, but we are all in it together here!

How do staff help you prepare for life after Bohunt Sixth Form?

There are some excellent seminars that take place in the library, discussions on interesting topics, intellectual debates, personal statement help… I have also helped with Freshers’ Fair organization which has helped with my teambuilding skills.

What advice would you give to prospective Bohunt Sixth Form students?

Know what you want and go for it. Have a clear idea about what you want from your next two years. Visit! Open Evenings are great for getting a feel for the place.

What is your favourite line from a film?

It’s from Mommie Dearest: ‘Barbara, please..!’

I’ve just watched it – it’s brilliant!
