Student Leadership Day
Trip to Eton College
On Wednesday 1st March 2023 students from CTK Aquinas visited Eton College to attend a student leadership conference where they attended several informative sessions around the theory and application of leadership. The day also provided a fantastic opportunity for students to explore one of the oldest and most prestigious Colleges in the UK and to visit the chapel and the oldest classroom in Europe, which was built in 1440. During the breaks sixth form students from Eton played host to students from Aquinas.
All students gave positive feedback about the trip and the conference, with one student saying:
“I really enjoyed the trip. The first session was my favourite session because we looked at self-leadership and how you can apply it to your everyday life. I learnt that you have to take 100% responsibility for everything you do. I also enjoyed speaking to the boys from Eton and learning about what it is like studying and living away from home.”
