THE UNION
I think a society tie is a symbol of commitment and devotion “
and perspective, which was amazing to see. So many societies amaze me with their passion and commitment – it’s great to see students having fun and enjoying wider school life. Is there any truth in the idea that sometimes a pupil might attend a society’s meetings just because they are attracted to the society tie? I think a society tie is a symbol of commitment and devotion. Whoever gets the tie must have shown the ability to set an excellent example, contributing knowledge, passion and time, in order to make the society fun for others. I don’t think it would necessarily be a bad thing for a student to attend a society in order to get a tie; I think it shows that the student is ready to work, and ready to give their time and passion to the society. That’s what is most important for me. Do you think the science societies, such as Chemistry Society, are more successful than some other societies, such as the Modern Languages Society? What do you think is the key to creating a successful, or popular, society? To me, the essence of a successful society lies in its ability to create a welcoming environment, and I don’t think that popularity is automatically a measure of a society’s success. As long as a society has a dedicated group of attendees who can comfortably share their ideas, I think that society is successful. An event is successful if it manages to inspire and engage students; it is never about how many people there are in the room.
