On Friday we said a warm farewell to the first of two visiting groups from St Mary of the Hills in Argentina ๐Ÿ‘‹๐ŸŒ During their week at St Clare's, they took part in our British Culture and TOK course, explored Oxford's museums and landmarks, joined our Higher Education fair, and got involved in CAS sports. The week ended with a TOK exhibition, where they shared their hard work with their peers.

We wish them every success in their future studies, and look forward to welcoming their classmates soon! ๐Ÿ’™

As always, we love welcoming alumni back to St Clare's! ๐Ÿ’™ It was a pleasure to reconnect with Helerin and Silvia (IB22), who visited us this week on one of the busiest days of the academic year, our annual Higher Education Fair. We hope it brought back some of the excitement of their own university application days!

Moments like these remind us how special the St Clare's community is, and how the friendships formed here can last a lifetime.

Our annual Higher Education Fair was a roaring success! We welcomed 50 delegates from 10 different countries, ranging from King's College London and UCL, to Cordon Bleu and the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. In addition, we hosted a programme of seminars delivered by 20 speakers from a wide variety of institutions, on aspects of higher education, gap years, studying abroad, and employment.

Thank you to our amazing HE and Careers Team for organising such a valuable and rewarding event for our students!

Our Pre-IB and IB students recently spent an afternoon with Broadway actress Stephanie Torns, who visited from AMDA in New York to lead a musical theatre workshop. ๐ŸŽญ

Our students got hands-on with performance techniques from someone working at the very top of the industry - it was brilliant to see so much energy, confidence, and creativity in the room.

A huge thank you to Stephanie and the AMDA team for spending the afternoon with us!๐Ÿ‘

From medicine to mountains ๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Over the summer, St Clare's IB21 alumna Emilia volunteered in a hospital in Pokhara, Nepal. Now studying medicine at the University of Exeter, she came away struck by the deep trust between patients and doctors there, something she felt has been lost in parts of the UK's healthcare system.

She also spent time in nearby villages, distributing reusable sanitary products and running education sessions on the menstrual cycle and breastfeeding support for new mothers.

From there, Emilia travelled to the Himalayas to complete the Everest Base Camp trek. 11 days that took her through storms and landslides to an empty base camp, all while reflecting on stories her grandfather told her about the mountains he grew up near.

To read Emilia's full story, please see our website โžก๏ธ https://www.stclares.ac.uk/ib-blog-alumni-emilia-nepal

We can't wait to see what Emilia does next, and if you're an alumni with your own story of life after St Clare's, we'd love to hear from you too!
