Many congratulations must go to two of our Year 13 girls who have just gained very prestigious international placements.
Friends Kathyrn Parker and Clara Fong have recently heard that they have both been successful in their applications to spend time in China. Kathryn is one of only one hundred school leavers nationally to become a member of the Prime Minister’s Global Fellowship, a fully funded programme initiated last year by Gordon Brown to allow young people to spend six weeks in either China, Brazil or India working in schools, staying with a host family and undertaking a research project within a global business in the country. On her return, Kathryn will hopefully have the chance to meet Mr Brown to report back her findings before pursuing her university career.
Meanwhile, Clara is planning a separate trip to Shanghai as she was the only student in Norfolk to be awarded an internship in accountants PricewaterhouseCooper’s Shanghai office. Clara will head out to China in the Autumn term where she will follow a Mandarin Chinese course organised by the British Council whilst she also teaches English to students in our Shanghai partner school, Nanyang High. In the New Year, she will take up a three month placement with PWC for the rest of her very special gap year.
We wish both students every success for their time in China and their future studies and look forward to hearing about their experiences in their blogs which will appear on this site later in the year.
