“YYGS is the most excited that learning has ever made me, and that’s what will stick with me from the experience. Throughout your years in school, you always follow the same curriculum and you always know what’s coming. I remember seeing the YYGS seminar selection list and not knowing what the majority of them would involve – which made every aspect of YYGS ten times more exciting.”
Having since been elected as a representative for my school’s student government, I wanted to continue to improve our involvement with the wider world. Through consistent fundraising activities, we have been able to support local, national, and international charities as a school. At Christmas, we arranged a shoebox appeal within the school and raised more than double the amount of donations which we managed the previous year, as well as £150+ in cash donations through involving local residents.
