Prep School Achievements


Our Prep School Speech Day took place this afternoon; a brilliant afternoon celebrating our pupils' achievements over the last year. It was a little smaller than usual, with only Prep 6 parents attending, but we hope everyone enjoyed it.

Thank you to our fantastic guest speaker, writer and producer Jonny Kurzman, who spoke to the children about creativity and the importance of taking risks and putting ourselves out there. At the end of his talk, he recited the iconic 1997 Apple advert, 'Think different' which still resonates today and which we have included below.

Congratulations to all those that won prizes, well done to the performers who recited and played brilliantly and GOOD LUCK to all of our Prep 6 pupils as they move up to the Senior School in September.

 

'Here’s to the crazy ones,

The misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes…

The ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules…

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things…

They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.'

— Steve Jobs, 1997
