Our Visit to Physics in Action

/in , , , /by

Our school had the privilege of attending the Physics in Action event, and we’re still buzzing from the experience! This fantastic event brought together some of the brightest minds in physics, and we were thrilled to be a part of it.

The day was filled with five engaging sessions that not only complemented our KS5 curriculum but also showcased the latest research and real-world applications of physics. Our students were fascinated by the practical examples and case studies presented, which helped to bring the subject to life.

But what really stood out for us was the special session on exam success. Our students received invaluable tips and strategies from experienced professionals, which we’re confident will help them achieve their full potential in their upcoming exams.

Overall, our visit to Physics in Action was an enriching experience that left our students motivated and excited about the future of physics. We’re grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of this event and look forward to applying the knowledge and inspiration gained back in our own classrooms.

/in , , , /by

On October 11, 2024, our Global Girl Leaders embarked on an inspiring journey to the Houses of Parliament. This visit followed an incredible conference held at the QE2 Conference Centre, where 400 girls from across the globe came together to celebrate International Day of the Girl.

The conference was a vibrant showcase of youthful energy, ideas, and empowerment, culminating in a special reception at the Houses of Parliament. Our girls had the honour of being welcomed by Mulberry Alumnus Rushanara Ali, who has been a powerful advocate for youth and women’s rights.

The event highlighted the strength and potential of young girls everywhere, emphasising the importance of their voices in shaping a better future. As we reflect on the inspiring messages shared during the conference, we are more motivated than ever to support and uplift the next generation of leaders.

Year10 & Year12 ADT Students Victoria & Albert Museum trip

/in , , /by

On Thursday 3rd October we took 27 3D Design students to the Victoria and Albert Museum to take part in a design workshop.  The artefacts, posters, furniture and products we saw inspired a series of placard designs based on a personal theme of a ‘Design for Change’. 

Students explored how designers communicate bold messages using visual imagery, colour and a slogan. They produced mini placards highlighting an issue that they thought was important to them.

A student in Y12 said “The design collection in the gallery was really innovative and it was interesting to see examples of architectural models of iconic buildings”. 

We are very grateful to the Jack Petchey Foundation who made the day possible. The students were very well behaved and engaged in a creative day out.

 

Year 12 Work Experience at Apple HQ

/in , , /by

It has been a momentous experience for ten Year 12 students when they arrived at the Tech giant Apple HQ on September 23rd and 24th 2024. With them participating and learning, the girls were receptive and happily fascinated with the encoded software and of course were immediately engaged. Tasked to develop an app they took the designs they built in their designated groups on the first day and brought them to life with the help of Swift UI code. They received mentoring from members of the Apple team to guide them through and answer any questions. Overall, each had positive comments and interests were raised in pursuing a future in the field of Software Design X  

Some of the feedback from the girls were expressed as follows:

“It’s been great … It made realise me how easy encoding was with little or no background.” 

“I’ve never done coding before but this might be something on my list as a career”.

“I thought coding was way worse … that it was so hard. But they explained the process well”.
