Our Year 10 students had the privilege of visiting St Hilda’s College, University of Oxford — an inspiring opportunity to experience university life first hand.

The visit included a tour of the college, insightful conversations with current students and staff, and a deeper look into the academic possibilities that lie ahead. It was a day filled with curiosity, ambition, and encouragement — helping our students to start envisioning their own future pathways in higher education.A huge thank you to the team at St Hilda’s for their warm welcome and for investing time in the aspirations of the next generation.#NextGeneration #Opportunity ...
