Part 2 of our interview series with OISC Principal, Benjamin ✨

💬 In today’s video, Ben shares what he believes students take away from OISC beyond English — from greater confidence and independence to friendships, new experiences, and a broader perspective of the world.

🌍 Because sometimes, the most valuable things you take home aren’t found in a textbook.

What did you gain from your time at OISC? We’d love to hear from you in the comments! 👇

📚 Word of the Week: give something a go

🌍 Don’t know where to go for your next holiday? Well, give Oxford a go! Who knows, maybe it’ll completely change your life 😅

Give something a go (phrase) – to attempt something.

Examples:
We’ve got nothing to lose, so let’s give it a go.
I’ve been interested in growing my own food for a while, and since I’ve got an allotment this season, I thought I’d give it a go.
I always tell my kids, “You have to be willing to give things a go.”

🎥 Slide to watch us use it in context.
Have you recently given something a go and loved it? 👇

We have boon looking forward to the beginning of a new academic year and finally the day has come✨

It’s been great: meeting new and returning students, mingling, having laughs - all you need for good first day of school. Top it up with some nibbles and drinks - and it can’t be any better 🎉

We wish you to be curious, confident and courage to try new things. Be kind to yourself, support one another, and make the most of every opportunity that comes your way!

Have a wonderful school year✨

📚 Idiom of the Week: turn over a new leaf 🍁

A new academic year is a perfect time for turning over a new leaf and begin to study hard, isn’t it? 🤓

Examples:
She turned over a new leaf and began getting to work on time.
Apparently he’s turned over a new leaf and he’s not smoking any more.
I’m trying to gear myself up for tomorrow’s exam.
