Year 11 Assembly
This Wednesday, we welcomed guest speaker Erika Eliasson-Norris, published author and Founder and CEO of Beyond Governance, for a special Year 11 assembly.
Erika shared her path from a quiet and shy student in Ware to the boardroom. Her high-energy presentation delivered a powerful message on the importance of resilience, recognising one’s own potential and dreaming big.
Following the recent mock exams results, Erika also offered invaluable advice and recommended a selection of books to help our students develop strong habits, confidence, and communication skills.
