What's happening @SlemishCollege
Tea or Coffee?
I like tea!
Favourite Snack?
A can of Pringles, or a bar of chocolate.
Favourite Book or Film?
I really enjoyed Lee Child’s – “Jack Reacher: Killing Floor.”
Which House is the best?
I’m a member of one of our two new houses - Beryan, but I’m a former member of the Comgall nation, (my favourite is Beryan- don’t tell Mr Hodgson!)
What subjects are you studying?
I study Biology, Maths and Physics.
What does being Students’ Council President mean to you?
I am grateful for the role of Students’ Council President, as I know I make a difference at the school with the student body. I am proud to ensure that Student Voice is heard at all levels in Slemish College, and appreciate the importance the staff and governors give to this.
How has integrated education shaped my educational experience?
Integrated Education has been so beneficial to me as I wouldn’t have met some of my closest friends, who come from so many different backgrounds. It has built my confidence in dealing with all sorts of people, and this has allowed me to represent my school and country through being appointed as a Duke of Edinburgh Youth Ambassador at high profile events. A key highlight was giving a speech at Hillsborough Castle, to Duke of Edinburgh leaders and the Duke of Edinburgh himself.
How have I changed/grown since Year 8?
Since Year 8 I’ve become more social and I’ve gained more confidence in my leadership and public speaking skills.
Who or what has inspired me the most at Slemish?
Taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award at Slemish has inspired me to push past my limits and always give my best.
What is one piece of advice that you would give to a Year 8?
Don’t be afraid. Joining the ‘big’ school is not at all scary – honestly!
What’s next for you after Slemish?
I’m planning to go to university to study Engineering at either Queen’s or Ulster.
How has Slemish prepared you for adult life?
Actually, the many Life Ed classes we have here have helped me with interview skills and also, and most importantly - how to be a good person!
One thing you’ll miss after leaving Slemish?
I’ll miss the teachers.
One word to sum up Slemish?
Community.
