Young Professionals Programme
We kicked off the week with a well-deserved lazy Tuesday. After a busy first week, the kids enjoyed sleeping in, catching up on laundry, and relaxing at their own pace—many said they’d never felt so free! Wednesday brought renewed energy with lessons, an Oxford city excursion, and the lively Talent Show. From singing and dancing to musical performances, students impressed with their creativity and confidence, cheered on by a supportive crowd.
Thursday featured a student favourite: Counsellors Court. Kids got to “punish” staff they found too strict— but only if they made a strong case. Punishments ranged from cold water buckets to whipped cream pies and flour showers.
Friday shifted to a more serious tone with Professional Workshops. Students explored real-world workplaces related to their courses, gaining valuable insight into potential career paths.
We ended the week with a memorable day trip to London—exploring iconic landmarks, touring Buckingham Palace, and soaking in the city’s vibrant energy. Amid the fun, students also worked hard in lessons and focused on their projects, making the most of every opportunity.
