Our Stories

“I can honestly say that I’ve made friends for life here at St George’s while we’ve shared amazing learning experiences – such as our school visit to Cern to see the Large Hadron Collider, which sparked my interest in STEM subjects. From nuclear research to fundamental particles and antimatter behaviour, what struck me was how physicists, computer scientists and engineers globally collaborate to solve the most complex problems. AH RMPS (Religious, Moral and Philosophical Studies) is another subject I’ve loved studying – particularly the cosmological arguments of Aquinas, Leibniz and Al Ghazali, combining the science of the Big Bang with philosophical and religious beliefs. Outside the classroom, I’ve been proud to represent Scotland in show-jumping – winning a team gold with three friends at the Summer Home Pony International series was my best performance so far. It doesn’t always go your way – horses have their own emotion so off-days are out of your control. But this has taught me resilience and teamwork which massively influences my academic life.”
