Waldegrave School Summer Magazine 2024

Students interested in studying medicine, veterinary or dentistry met professionals at a speed networking event giving them an invaluable opportunity to explore a variety of healthcare professions. Professions included a GPs, Occupational Therapist, Podiatrist, Ophthalmologist, Pharmacologist and physiotherapist. “It was great to get insider knowledge about being a vet and also how the application process works. I got some very useful tips!” - Charlotte E “I learnt about many medical professions I had never considered which has helped me narrow down what I might like to study. Hearing about their different routes and experiences was very interesting.” - Sofia D The whole of Year 12 went to St. Mary’s University to find out more about life as a student. Students attended a lecture in a subject they are interested in, found out about student finance and toured the campus. For some students this was their first experience of a university, kick-starting the process of working out if and which type of university is right for them and what to look out for when they attend open days in the next few months. “It was really interesting to see a campus university as I hadn’t before now.” - Rosie Paynter “It was great to see the sports facilities and experience student life” - Aroon W The trip to Thorpe Park was a well earned reward after the very busy and intense week. The torrential rain did not dampen the Year 12s’ spirit who made the most of the rollercoasters and spending time with their friends. “A great bonding experience!” - Sofia L
