the Scholars Programme Graduation

21 May 2024

On Wednesday 15 May, 14 of our Year 12 students attend a Graduation Event to celebrate their achievement in finishing The Scholars Programme at the New College Oxford. The graduation ceremony is designed to feel like a university graduation – students are called up by name, they collect a certificate, and Finley G acted as ‘Spokes-Scholars’, sharing what our students learnt and reflected on their course. The students participated in a campus tour, learnt about university life and finances, and imagine what it might be like to attend a competitive university. Congratulations to everyone for completing the programme with such outstanding results!

The person of the week is Pope Francis. He was focused on championing the rights of the poor and the marginalised. The word of the week is conclave, a private meeting but used in the Catholic Church to mean a meeting of the Cardinals to elect a new pope. #AMDG pic.twitter.com/qm7sRgIpDL

We finished the term with a Tenebrae Service. After each of six readings, a candle was extinguished and the lights turned down. After the seventh reading, the candle was taken out of the chapel, leaving us in darkness and silence to reflect.#AMDG pic.twitter.com/6K9Brdb8kZ
