On Friday 26 April St Gabriel’s hosted a ‘20 Years of Sixth Form’ book launch.  Created by Cosima, Head Girl, during the last academic year, the book celebrates its students' experiences through a mix of narratives, pictures and quotes. Sixth Form staff and students, past and present were generous contributors. 

During the event Cosima gave a poignant speech:

“As well as spending two very happy years in the Sixth Form, what will I take with me?  Firstly a sense of kinship and a firm set of friends, secondly, a confidence to speak out and push myself, but lastly, a sense of pride in my school”

The 20 Years of Sixth Form book captures the spirit of Lady Elizabeth Montagu, leader of the Blue Stockings Society, whilst embracing the 21st century, showing the growth of post-16 education.  The creation of the book captures and recognises the astounding achievements and experiences of Sixth Form students over the years.
