Thought for the Week

We regularly discuss world events in school through our ‘thought for the week’ slot, encouraging debate and discussion about the events, however big or small, that impact our lives and the lives of families that are distant from our own experiences. Girls are always encouraged to speak up if they are scared or worried about what they hear in the news, and there is a team of staff that students can go to if they need support at any time. We will put our ‘thought for the week’ topics here, so families can continue conversations at home and feedback is always welcome so please let Mr Scott know if you have any of your own thoughts.

Islington Schools Running League - Race 3

On a very cold Monday 18 afternoon, two Year 7 and two Year 8 students represented EGA running 3 loops of the Emirates Stadium. They were up against all Islington schools and raced together with Year 9, 10 and 11. They all kept a strong and steady pace throughout and finished with a sprint. We are awaiting the results but already know that Lucy Morgan was 9th overall. Also congratulations to Nyah Nicholas, Malak Kabbaou and Yasmein Acid for being committed with their training on Thursday mornings at running club, their enthusiasm and resilience. The next and last race of the year will be on Monday 9 December at Emirates. If you would like to take part then come along to the running club on Thursday at 8am.

Meeting The Mayor

By Thasrina Ali, Sarah Abukar, Hafiza Ahed in Year 11 On Tuesday 5th November, three of us went to a consultancy firm called Oliver Wyman to take part in an interview for a project on social mobility run by our mayor, Sadiq Khan. We spoke to a lovely woman who asked us questions on our thoughts of any social challenges that we are faced with and our aspirations for the future.  The conversation was very reflective as we spoke about the amount of opportunities that our school offers us and we all realised that many schools in London don’t have and we realised how grateful we are for our school and all it has to offer. We were also asked about our thoughts on social issues and we were all pleased that what we said will help to hopefully make changes in social attitudes to people who come from immigrant families. It made us realise how lucky we are to have free education in this country and how we shouldn’t take it for granted.  It was an amazing opportunity that we are all thankful for as our words voiced the struggles of many people in this country and we are all proud to have represented many people who go through similar struggles in society as us.
