Meet the new senior student leadership team!

With the current Year 11 students studying hard for their GCSE exams it’s time to put in place our brand new year 10 student leadership team. The process, led by Ms Gyngell involved a whole school vote, submission of CV’s and letters of applications as well as being interviewed by a panel of teaching staff and the year 11 senior prefects before being awarded the posts.

We are consequently delighted to introduce the new Head Boy and Head Girl, Nile Jones & Shannon King along with their deputies James Habineza & Keris Self.  Becoming a senior student leader is a great achievement and the entire prefect team goes through a training course before being allowed to start their duties. We have every confidence that this group of mature and confident individuals will do a great job in the coming year. Good Luck!

Pride in a visit

Former Oathall student Camella Main returned to Oathall this month to talk to year 8 students about her recent voluntary work overseas.

She returned to Oathall to share her experiences of working as a volunteer in hospitals, orphanages and schools in northern Tanzania. Camella spoke warmly of the way that her time at Oathall had developed her skills and confidence and she went on to encourage the year 8 audience to strive and achieve and to take up every opportunity available to them.

‘Youth Speaks’ – next stop National Finals for Oathall Students.

Following on from their success at the district finals our senior public speaking team attended the South East regional finals at Chessington Community College on Sunday 25th March.

Andrew Pearcy, Tom Hother and Dan Kingdom once again delivered superb speeches. Speaking against a strong field of students from mainly independant schools their performances shone out and we can report that they were once again victorious! The team now go through to the National Finals which will be held in Wrexham, Wales at the end of April.

This is a fantastic achievement for our team; they have worked hard on their speeches and have consistently risen to the occasion. We are extremely proud of their achievements and wish them all the very best in the finals.
