Meet the Year 8 Student Mentors!
Hi everyone, my name is Ellen Kissward. I am currently studying Religion,
Business Studies and Health and Social Care. I am really enjoying my time
as a mentor and I have loved getting to know my Year 8 form class. I
would advise the Year 8s to always try your best. I think if you always try
your best and give 100% in your school work and extracurricular
activities, it will be rewarding in the end- in terms of achievement and
memories. As well as that, I would say always try to have fun and be kind!
Hi, my name is Sophia Sloan and I am the Year 8 mentor for 8/23. I am
currently studying English Literature, History and Biology at AS evel. I love
being a mentor because it’s really nice to see the future students of our
school, how their different personalities shine through and the affect it
has on the dynamic of the class. I would advise the Year 8s that even
though it’s tough for everyone right now: you can’t see your friends, your
grandparents and you can’t have that holiday abroad just yet, remember
that you’re still young. The end is in sight, and you can have all the hugs, the special dinners
made by your grandmother and the football games and chats with your best mates you’ve
dreamed about this past year very soon. And most importantly, remember that the people
in your house right now that you get to see every day: your pets, siblings and parents are
still there for you and you should make sure you appreciate them. Go show them some love.
Hello, my name is Tanisha Thompson and I’m a Year 8 mentor. I’m
currently studying History, Religion and Sociology- all subjects I truly
enjoy. Being a mentor has made me realise the impact that we, as post 16
pupils, can have on the younger students; they idolise us and I’m grateful
to be a role model for my class. The enjoyment of seeing them flourish
throughout the school year has been both rewarding and heart-warming.
