Willink Sixth Form

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas🎄! So the Sixth Form held a festive quiz! Congratulations to the winning team and thank you to the Committee for their hard work! Mr Leach, Mr Jubb and Miss Eggleton were a respectable 5th… we think it was respectable anyway! 🏆

It was fantastic having so many current Willink Year 11 students experiencing our Moving Forward Day and getting a taste of Sixth Form and presentations from our current sixth formers. Applications are open!

Iceland 2024 update: we have landed🛬. We had a successful flight and we are on the coach back to school! See you soon!

Iceland 2024 update: we have arrived at the airport for our flight. As it stands (🤞 ) we are on time but will keep everyone posted. Lots of tired students!

Iceland 2024 update: our final day started with a walk up the rainbow street 🌈 to Hallgrimskirkja, which is a huge church! Followed by a trip to @PerlanMuseum which included a northern lights show, an ice cave and a lava show! Very interesting!

Iceland 2024 update: Our meal this evening is at @hamborgari in Reykjavik. Square hamburgers blowing student’s minds! Plus a count of all Icelanders… hopefully a baby is born in Iceland and they will change the number.

Iceland 2024 update: What. A. Day! We have been so busy today, with lava visits, Gullfoss, the secret lagoon, Þingvellir national park, and Geysir! Phenomenal!

Iceland 2024 update: our glacier walk yesterday was amazing! The students enjoyed eating the ice (YOLO) and drinking the purest of water straight from the source.

Iceland 2024 update: what an experience in the @thelavatunnel! It was amazing, especially when the lights were switched off ⚫️
