Finally we did our Spring Term exams last weekend.  The pandemic has not beaten us and having had the summer off, we’ve just completed the half hour private sessions, the two weeks of sessions owing from the Spring Term and now the exams.

So it’s goodbye to our wonderful Gold Medal students who’ve been joyous to work with … and have developed their skills to a high level along the way.  Arnav S, Arnav T, Ashrith, Elil, Maham, Parmeet, Rachana, Ransen, Rishitha, Rowena, Tarun and Tejas (happily Rowena remains as an assistant in the Ferrari group at Sindlesham Court). 

Here are some of their speeches that met the syllabus requirement for Political or Cultural speeches … they ranged from the NHS to Venezuelan  

Hyper Inflation, Immigration: enriching or harming world culture? The Kashmir Conflict, Homelessness in the UK, The Indian Dowry System, Teenage alcoholism, Should the Voting Age be Lowered? The Caste System in India … Tackling Knifecrime in the UK … and for their own choice, we had some equally inspired speeches on Being British Indian, the Rubik’s Cube, The World of Photography, Friends, Chocolate, Animée, The Playstation, Hollywood v Bollywood – and more! 

Goodbye and good luck to them all!
