Holocaust Memorial 2020

The RE department took Year 10 students to visit Belsize Square Synagogue to commemorate Holocaust Memorial 2020. During this visit they met with Zahava Kohn who was only a child when she was imprisoned in Bergen-Belsen with her parents. Her account of despair, hope and survival engaged the students and gave them time to reflect. The organisers of the event praised our Year 10s for their fantastic behaviour and attentiveness.

Sociology Conference

Year 13 Sociology students attended a conference and seminar at Goldsmiths University on the Sociology of emotion as a means of analysing stratification. The sessions focused on how wider structures generate particular emotions in individuals, families and communities, helping students to understand the formation of inequalities in more depth.

Phobias

Yr12 Psychology students enjoyed a trip to ZSL London Zoo for a fascinating phobias talk and introduction to hypnotherapy as a cure for arachnophobia! Some students were able to overcome their fear of spiders by holding the tarantula called Rosie! We will be applying our learning to our study of phobias in the psychopathology unit.

A Level Photography

On 23rd January a group of year 12 & 13 students had the opportunity to meet the artist Olivia Rose. Students learnt about her artistic practice and discussed her portraits in a Q&A session. This was a great opportunity for them to learn a whole new range of photographic methods.

Street Doctors

Year 10 and 11 students took part in a session with the charity ‘Street Doctors’ to learn invaluable first aid skills. The session provided a safe space to discuss the issue of violent crime in London and empowered them to become life savers in their own communities.
