TRUE ADVENTURE - INDONESIA

In 2017 a group of Oxted students travelled the globe to a small set of islands of Indonesia.
Having been split into several different groups, we embarked on a journey we’d never forget. Each group enjoyed
different activities, whether that was summiting Semaru or diving in the depths of the Pacific Ocean.
We helped the local community with different projects, including building shelters, a home for pastor and a home
for a widow and her family.
Whilst on project, some groups even got to visit the local school and try teaching some English to the children.
But, for all the amazing things we got to do, one thing that stands out for anyone who went on the trip is was the
individual memories we shared with people in the group. So I am sure that I can speak for everyone when I say
that truly an adventure was had by all.

INDONESIA 2017

There were points on the trip in which we all as
individuals found very mentally challenging, but
together as a team we supported one another’s needs.

The Contrast in culture really hit home for me. The
smallest of gestures would give the locals so much
happiness. It allowed us to experience a lifestyle very
different to that of our own and made me realise how
privileged we all are.

I think on arrival home, many of us realised how
the trip changed our mentality and gave us a much
greater appreciation for family and loved ones. When
Visiting the Istiqlal Mosque we saw a school group
of a similar age participating in Salat al-zuhr. This
allowed us to see how dedicated the people are to
their religion. For them it’s a way of life, something
they can channel their faith into, which is something
I found truly inspiring.

The expedition proved to be a trip of a lifetime which
opened our eyes to the immense struggle and poverty
found in areas of lower levels of development, giving
us a sense of realisation about what we have and
taught all of us that we should enjoy the life we have
rather than constantly desiring something more.

OUR LAST DAY ... ‘when we grow up’

Engineers, nurses, police officers,
doctors, sports stars, a large number
of Waitrose workers and even a gimp
and a spider pope were amongst the
amazing future careers on display
at our Class of 2019 leavers day. We
all made a fantastic effort but I feel
sorry for the future labour market!
A big thanks to the Sixth Form Team
for a bucks fizz breakfast and more
bacon rolls than we could eat!
This was followed by a whole year
group photo then up the sacred
common room for our leavers
assembly. It was brilliant that Mrs
Cooper could join us for a funny,
sad, poignant, hilarious, reflective
assembly and year book awards
presentation.
Thanks to Mr Bennett for making it
such a memorable assembly though
some of us may not have spoken to
our parents when we got home.
Well done also to Tom Murdoch for
rounding things off so brilliantly
with his Barry Manilow impression!
As always the highlight was the
leavers video and this year did not
disappoint. A big shout out to Kai
and Jake for their amazing work.
After a few tears and many laughs
it was off to Master Park before the
traditional gathering at the Spoons
to end our day – without doubt a
Vintage Year.

SUMMER PROM 2019

Well the day had to come eventually, when the Class of 2019 had their final gathering and farewell (we still
have graduation left) and what a farewell it turned out to be.
As ever, Westerham Golf Club did us all proud and the sun shone making it even more memorable. A bit thank
you to all the staff that came and shared our evening with us and it was fab to see Mrs Stares again and to
thank her for all the support in Year 12.
There were many highlights, Jake’s kilt, Natty’s dancing, Jude’s suit and Murdoch’s tie among them! The
only down side was that, ‘most embarrassing on a night out’ – Ellie was very restrained but thankfully Peter
and ODB posed for that must see ‘best bromance’ picture. The evening was meant to finish at 11.30 but after
chants of ‘one more song, one more song, one more song’ – Mr Bennett let us have another half and hour and
we made it to midnight - just.
Thank you to everyone for making this such a special evening for the Class of 2019.
