Plus the very cool TY 2025-2026 hoodies arrived - thanks Mr Eppel!

5th and 6th Year Classics and Drama, Film and Theatre Studies students visit Rome

On the 28th of February the Sixth and Fifth year Classics and Drama, Film and Theatre studies students flew to Rome bright and early. We were flown there by past pupil Greg, First Officer. This added to the excitement of the trip. We visited the Pantheon where we got to see the sun through the oculus and the sheer scale of the building. This was the first time for many of the students seeing the building. We visited the Capitoline museum where we saw many interesting artifacts most notably the statue of Marcus Aurelius and Commodus on the first day.

2nd Years participate in Fast Fashion workshop by repairing clothes

On Tuesday, the 24th of February, the second years took part in a Fast Fashion workshop hosted by Leah Gaynor from Oxfam. There, we learned all about ethical fashion and how companies use greenwashing as a deceptive marketing tactic. We watched a video on clothing waste in the global south, and it is safe to say the statistics were appalling.
