AROUND THE SIXTH FORM: EXTERNAL TALKS
During our Spring term, Waldegrave has hosted a fantastic variety of external speakers to help inform and broaden the perspectives of our sixth formers. The highlights of the term included James Peterson, mental health advocate, offering advice on resilience and managing stress. This was followed by two talks about working in government; Chris Wright spoke about his experience in leading government departments and at No. 10 Downing Street, while Lucy Owen gave a broader perspective of local and national government job opportunities. Students were also treated to a very interesting talk from Marion Clarke, Head of Forensic Social Work at West London NHS Trust and Broadmoor Hospital. She spoke about social work and the intersection between mental health, criminal justice systems and the law. We also held talks with HSBC and Deloitte about student finances ahead of University and with Samsung about the skills required to get onto careers programs in FTSE 100 companies. We ended the term with a talk from Tim Marshall, British journalist, author, and broadcaster, specialising in foreign affairs and international diplomacy.
