Students of the Final Week

Manon and Shelia with Course Director Tom Kennedy!

Our last day of school

We are just about to begin tidying up the school as today is our last day of teaching :( Students will of course have a great day tomorrow on the excursion which is going again to Stratford and Warwick Castle.

We have had a great summer and are already looking forward to next year when we hope to see some familiar faces!!

Given that it is the last week for Student of the Week and because we couldnt split two students, we decided to award it to both of them, Congratulations Manon and Shelia! (picture to follow shortly).

We decided on a couple of prizes for students throughout the summer for students, one of which was 'Diva of the Course'. This of course goes to Conrad pictured below:

Goodbye until next year!

A cheeky Sir Michael's Student who wanted to say good bye, goodbye Sultan!

Up until now...

 Firstly a big congratulations to Andrej, last week's Student of the Week!

Well done Andrej!

 Saturday's excursion was to London. Due to the fact that we had a couple of students who had been with us for the whole summer, we ran three different trips in London. the first, for students who had not been to London with Studio before was the sightseeing trip with a walking tour from Westminster to Trafalgar Square and then time in Covent Garden for shopping. The second, to Oxford Street in the morning and then to Cromwell road to visit museums  in the afternoon (The Natural History Museum, The Science Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum). The third trip was to Oxford street for a couple of hours in the morning, then a walk to Covent Garden to visit the London Transport Museum. After the London Transport Museum, there was a short walk to the Hunterian Museum at the Royal College of Surgeons before taking the tube to Cromwell road to meet the coach. Here are some photos from the day:

On Sunday we had no new students but many left. Luckily we had a trip to visit the famous King's College to brighten up the day:

On Monday evening, students had the chance to go swimming. Tuesday was punting:

Vlad with the thumbs up!

On Wednesday, we played board games and practiced our English in doing so and last night was very creative with students making masks, designing bags and t-shirts! As well as all that, there was a trip to Grantchester for Cream Tea. Unfortunately we didn't get any photos due to the weather deciding to be typically English!

Oxford, a birthday, new brochure and other fun things...

On Saturday we had an excursion to Oxford. Students did a short walking tour of the sights before having some free time to shop:

One of the main streets

Very old buildings, much like in Cambridge

One of the many libraries

 On Tuesday it was Giorgia's birthday, she turned 18!

Happy Birthday!!

 Our new Studio Brochure for next year is out! It is up to date and full of lovely pictures of students. One of our longer term students Guilia was lucky enough to make the cut and can be seen in one of the pictures. We of course gave her a copy to keep. Unfortunately other students in the pictures have already left Sir John but please see the website.

On Wednesday night as usual was the disco:

Here is a lovely group photo of some students on their way. 

 On Thursday afternoon, we went punting:

Ready...steady...go...

"I will only be punted!"

On Thursday evening students designed and then wrote postcards which were sent today:
