Advantages: Fantastic School
Disadvantages: I miss out on new building

...and current. The building is fully environmentally freindly, conserving energy, water, heat, electricity, everything! We will have 2 huge full sized gyms, seperate hall with proper stage and storage for off stage props etc. Our new drama programme will insure this is put to good use! Our school is set to go to the top Right now it's dirty, dingy, building is falling apart. But we still have a lot of stuff, we're still one of the best in Swindon for facilities. ---------------------- Teaching ---------------------- The teaching in St. Josephs is supurb. I've come accross some of the best teachers ever in my time here. Having no other school to compare it to, I suppose my view is unjustified. But the teachers go further than just teach you, they try and insure that you understand, that you accept their teaching and try... Read review

Advantages: ten school memories .
Disadvantages: there are only seven !

.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Oooh …. My next memory , conveniently enough , is from the same era . It was the run up to the following Christmas holidays and , suitably , we had spent this term's entire complement of Home Economics lessons making a Christmas cake from scratch . This was done over a period of seven weeks in one hour sessions , and therefore involved the cake at its various stages being transported to and from school each Monday for the next instalment in its creation . This week was the marzipan stage . The cake had been made , matured and left packed in lightly moistened greaseproof paper , contained in an old but perfectly sized biscuit tin . This was fastened securely to the rack at the back of my bicycle by a bungee strap . This particular Monday morning was freezing cold and icy , and my route took me along the riverside...

Advantages: International students and extremely good tutors
Disadvantages: Not in Central London

...design (period or otherwise) and set design. The students have to write, stage and perform in their own pieces, periodically through the year; these are other events I would recommend to non-students, as they are thoroughly enjoyable and original. I know several ex students from this department: One designed the Spice Girls costumes, wedding dresses etc. (I know, not a great claim to fame - but it pays the bills), one who worked on Bram Stoker’s Dracula and consequently anything else to do with vampires, quite a few who work in theatre, and mostly, three others that work in the film industry - all of which are doing very well for themselves, thankyou. The school always manages to whip up a lot of interest from outside during the final shows: A good friend of mine was picked up by an international art gallery at his final show, and has...

Advantages: learn a liitle about me
Disadvantages: as above.....

...Wow, where to begin. My memories of school are not by any means all good, but I loved it all the same. Of course where I grew up in Canada, the term 'school' included 'high school' or 'college' as you'd call it here. 1. One of my first memories is of a math's lesson. It must have been grade one. I remember the pale green tatty carpet in the cream walled room. Sunlight streaming through the tall narrow windows that were framed with dark brown glossy paint. Even then I knew the colour scheme was pretty naff. My teacher was Mrs. Weiner and she was giving a lesson about measuring. We all had our wooden rulers out and ready for our assignment. The assignment when it came was to measure the distance between point A, B, C and D. The first person to get it right would receive a prise of sweeties. Several people went up before I did...

Advantages: Best days of my life!
Disadvantages: I didnt get paid for the best days of my life!

...lighters, which we tried to point out that they should have already known this as we had just been dragged away from having quite an enjoyable cigarette! Anyway, the caretaker was called and we were all brought back to the bin, which of course everyone was changing classes by now looking at us, the care taker got us a bucket of water each to put the fire out with, we wouldnt and all got detention, untill they THEN looked back in the cameras to find another boy from the school setting it alight! We all demanded an apology, which we got in the end! 9. READING IN ASSEMBLY Having to read in assembly. I had done something stupid again! My Geography teacher...well lets just say we didnt get on! We had abit of a barney one day and out of badness she made me stand up on stage in front of the whole school the next morning and read a few... Read review
