It may have been the last week of term but lessons and societies still continued before the summer holidays started.
For our Year 8 students, each year they celebrate Eurofest, a fair that combines the worlds of business and languages, and Hymers College invites other schools from the community to join in. We were very grateful that Daniel Pashley, OH 1980-90, Head of Swedish Interpreting Unit for the European Commission, offered to speak to our students (from Belgium) about the importance of languages and the countless benefits and applications of languages in the professional world.
Laura French, 1994-2004, a Public Health Consultant helped deliver a 90-minute workshop on medical ethics to our Year 12 medics. The workshop included a discussion about medical ethics, consideration of scenarios that they might encounter in their work and a discussion about health inequalities and how ethical principles translate to population health rather than on an individual level.
With the academic year now over, we would like to say a big thank you to all of our alumni who have supported the students over the last academic year, from in person visits to societies and assemblies, offers of work experience and for those further afield, conversations over video calls. We appreciate all the help and support.
If you feel that you could offer any support to our students in the future, please do get in touch with the Development Office (oldhymerians@hymers.org).
