Tell us about the clubs you enjoy at Seaford
I like the Debating Club, and the Public Speaking Club. The Public Speaking Club is run by Mr Finniear and we debate a topic. Recently we did: “Should gambling adverts be banned?”
We set up a Debating Club and we each have to find an article on a particular subject and we then forward it to Miss Thomas. We have to say where we found the article (to ensure the information is correct). We need to read around the subject in order to gain a balanced view, a lot of information online can be too
far to the left or right wing. We discuss the subject in the club. Both teachers support each other as many students do both clubs which is great.
What else do you do at Seaford?
I like doing martial arts in our dojo. I love that I have discovered something new in the Sixth Form.
What have you gained from Seaford?
Confidence, determination and resilience. It’s taught me that
you have to work to achieve
your goals/aims. I learnt never
to give up. Other friends find their schools very pressurised and therefore don’t enjoy it as much as I enjoy life at Seaford. Student welfare is at the forefront of Seaford. I know that if I had
a problem I could go to No.46 (Seaford’s Wellbeing Centre) even though I’ve never used it. You know you’d be looked after and would have someone to talk to.
Why did you do Les Misérables? I heard that they needed more
cast members so I gave it a go! It was the first production I’ve taken part in. I liked the humour and the fact that I was allowed get into my character.
