Welcome Back Olivia: Old Stokian Flies Stoke Flag

Olivia Monro, Old Stokian 2020, will rejoin the Stoke fold this summer as she flies across the world on a Stoke College adventure.

Olivia, together with Patrick, Year 13, is to undertake a summer internship at two prestigious Chinese colleges. UWC and CWA Changshu are both schools of Stoke College Director, Mark Wang and this will be the first opportunity for a Stoke College internship of this kind.

Olivia and Patrick will be providing deeply appreciated support to the students of these schools in their English, as well as delivering lessons on British Culture.

They will be partipating in a range of very enjoyable activities, not least because of the close proximity to a lake that provides many leisure opportunities.

After their internship, Patrick and Olivia will be visiting numerous sightseeing locations, including the bustling metropolis of Shanghai and the ‘Venice of the East’, Suzhou.

“I’m thrilled to be taking up this opportunity this summer. I am so lucky that my school have been able to support my studies, even during my University chapter”, Olivia Monro.

Olivia joined Stoke College in Year 8. She then went on to study English Literature and Mandarin at Exeter. We wish her the very best with this exciting venture and look forward to hearing about it.
