The new term and new year is well under way, and many students are currently preparing for and taking exam modules at GCSE, AS and A2. It’s a timely reminder of the much bigger exam season that starts almost immediately after Easter, and which is so important to all students. I hope that everyone takes encouragement from the fact that students here at St Benedict’s do so wonderfully well. Our Presentation Evening on January 5th gave us a chance to celebrate the success of the Table-topping GCSE and A Level students of 2011. It was lovely to see some old faces return for the occasion, both A Level veterans with a term at university behind them, and some of last year’s year 11, now at college or elsewhere. We are grateful to our guest of honour for the evening, the Reverend Professor John Morrill of Selwyn College Cambridge, and Mr John Fildes, representing the Catenian Association, who presented awards to the Catenian prize winners. As always, this was an evening to celebrate achievement in the widest sense; all of the students received awards for academic and other successes, but were also testimony to the mission statement of St Benedict’s Catholic School: to prepare “Effective Christians for the Modern World”. Congratulations and best wishes to very single one of them.
