FAREWELL ... FROM THE SIXTH FORM TEAM

I wish you success in all that you do and it was a privilege to work with you. You are a talented group of young
people and Mr Morris has kept me in touch with how you are doing via EPQ – you are a clever bunch. Take pride
in all that you do and remember my old saying (well Mrs Smith’s to be fair) that whatever you do always make
sure that you can look yourself in the mirror. Oxted is a very special place and a tough one to leave!
Lots of Love xxx
Mrs Stares

Dear Class of 2019,
I was struggling for words of advice to give you so
searched for those who had given such great guidance
in the past – Gandhi? Churchill? The Dalai Lama?
Confucius? No – it could only be Homer – not the Homer
of the classical Greek world but Homer Simpson! Who
can fail following these words of advice.
“I want to share something with you: The three little
sentences that will get you through life. Number 1: Cover
for me. Number 2: Oh, good idea, Boss! Number 3: It
was like that when I got here.”
“Son, if you really want something in this life, you have
to work for it. Now quiet! They’re about to announce the
lottery numbers.”
“I can’t believe it! Reading and writing actually
paid off!”
“It’s so simple to be wise…..just think of stupid things and don’t say them”.
“Eh, everybody makes mistakes. That’s why they put erasers on pencils!”
To use my own words - I would like to thank you for being a brilliant year group – a vintage in fact! I could not
have wished for a better final year at Oxted. My main piece of advice is always look to do good and make a positive
impact on all those you meet and those affected by your actions. If you can’t find someone nice then by that
someone. I wish you nothing but happiness in your future lives.
Mr B

FAREWELL ... FROM THE SIXTH FORM TEAM

What a fantastic, inclusive and close knit bunch of individuals you all
are! I have really loved working alongside each and every one of you.
I know that bright and exciting times are ahead of you all.
Take risks, grab every opportunity with both hands, travel and most of all;
enjoy yourselves! Your journeys are just beginning.
Best of luck
Miss O’Keeffe

Dear Year 13
This is the most difficult Year Book message I have had
to write, not only because it was just so much easier to
send you all an occasional email, but because emails
are transient - if you’re not interested, you just move
onto the next one, and hit delete (so frequently true),
and this is a message that I hope you will look back on
in the years ahead.
You have reached the end of an era, in more ways than
one. But what an ending! You have been THE most
wonderful year group in every way and have blossomed
into a family that I am proud to have known and
supported. You have worked your socks off, you respect
and have helped each other to overcome a myriad of
challenges, in school and in your personal lives. You
smile a lot, you have generous and happy natures. You
have explored your futures, found where your passions
lie and how to follow your dreams. You are determined,
courageous, creative, respectful, compassionate and
patient (seems odd but it is very evident and is an
important trait to have, and so carefully nurtured at
UCAS clinics). Hold on to these qualities, they will
serve you well.
Old Coops is very fond of you all and I wish every one
of you a happy and successful future, please keep in
touch somehow. XxX
Mrs Cooper aka ‘Super Cooper’

You are a delightful group of young people, who support each other through good and not so good times, and I am
proud to have witnessed your journey through Sixth Form. I have been fortunate enough to support you on that
journey, and I cannot say loudly enough, to the many of you who have overcome significant obstacles on a tough
journey; WELL DONE! You made it! A special well done to my fantastic A Level Biologists and Applied Science
students this year; you have worked so hard, and been a delight to teach and support.
So go forth into the big wide world, whether it is work, apprenticeship, University, gap year ….work hard, be
yourselves and you will be successful in whatever you do, because you are amazing. And remember ‘we are all
stories at the end of the day, so make it a good one’
Very best wishes
Mrs Adam

Christmas Parties

‘So here it is Merry Christmas
everybody’s having fun - look to the
future now, it’s only just begun’ – Slade
As is now such a long established
tradition the end of each Autumn term
saw our Christmas Party at Westerham
Golf Club and lots of cheesy dancing
to some very cheesy music. There is no
doubt that we all ended the night in the
Christmas spirit (some with more spirit
than others- you know who you are).
2018 can also be celebrated as the year
when everyone passed the Stares’ breath test
and no one got sent home – not sure this is
something you should celebrate or not. We
know some of us sneaked in alcohol – try to
find the picture with Natasha Murray and
her hip flask on these pages!!
As always with the ‘Class of 2019’ – the dance
floor was packed and from the photos there
some amazing dancing and posing but I think
Brigi gets the top dancer award!
A huge thank you to all who helped organise
and got our last two Christmas’ off to such a
good start.
