Eastbourne, located on the Sunshine Coast, officially the sunniest resort in the UK
They say that your school days are some
of your best, and this could not be more true for my experience at the College. Being head of school has been a great privilege. It’s been amazing to see the work that goes on behind the scenes which you don’t even consider as a pupil. My advice for future Eastbournians would be always to find something to smile about, throw yourself into everything you do here and never say no to a café visit . . . Being an
Eastbournian has genuinely been the best experience of my life and, as I become an Old Eastbournian, I realise how much of that I owe to my peers, teachers and everyone at school. I’m so proud to belong to a community which I know I will be a part of for the rest of my life. As I move on from Eastbourne College, I plan to study medicine at university next year. I wish my peers the best of luck and I’m sure we will all see each other again soon.
Shaumya Kularajan, head of school
I can still remember my very first lesson at the College: my history teacher warning us how quickly our time would go by and how we would come to miss everything about it. Looking back, I can safely say that he was right and that these have been the best years of my life. Being an Eastbournian
has given me so many opportunities, from the atmosphere of the boarding house to playing on College Field, from taking to the stage to the privilege of becoming head of
school, a position which has taught me so much. I am so proud to
be part of the College and now its wider community. I would advise future Eastbournians to take advantage of every opportunity offered, even if it is outside your comfort zone, because you don’t know what you might get out of it. I now plan to take a year out and then read economics at Bristol. I wish everyone at the College the best of luck in the years to come.
