The “super six” will pursue courses ranging from Economics to Engineering, and Law to Liberal Arts. However, when it comes to reflecting on their time Shrewsbury and their own successes, they all agree that their education has been about much more than academic endeavour in the classroom;
“I’d always say to younger students, ‘Get out of your bubble’”, notes music scholar Karuna (Law, Oxford). “Test yourself in new activities. Academics are a huge part of life at Shrewsbury, but don’t miss out on the other opportunities and experiences. They give perspective and will make for your best memories of school”.
Vice Principal, Mr Rob Millar spoke highly of the six students explaining that this is what students can achieve at Shrewsbury if you have a goal and apply yourself.
“I could not possibly be prouder of what these students have achieved for themselves, their families and Shrewsbury. They all have such different areas of expertise and to have been accepted to some of the world’s best universities shows the wealth of opportunity that Shrewsbury offers. These exceptional students have shown that if you put the hard work in then it will pay off; and it has in a big way.”
Limited places available for Shrewsbury’s A level programme starting August 2020. For all admissions enquiries please call Khun Jip or Shirley on 02 675 1888 Ext 1110 or 1404
