Why Did You Choose To Come To Springwest? 

I chose to come to Springwest because I had heard that it was a great school. My aunt also came here and they did well here. I went to Crane Park Primary School and lots of students from there also decided to come to Springwest so I knew that I would know people. 

 

Which Lessons Do You Enjoy The Most And Why?

I enjoy Maths because the teacher makes it easy to understand and Spanish because it improves my memory. I also like the language itself and it will be useful if I visit a country where Spanish is spoken. In Spanish we also play games to help us to remember key vocabulary. 

 

Was It Easy To Settle In And Make New Friends When You Arrived?

Yes it was. The environment and the people made it easy. Year 7 have one day in school before other students start and this was a great opportunity to meet some teachers and learn my way around the school. Each student has a tutor, a Pastoral Mentor and an Achievement Coordinator so there are lots of people to ask if you have questions or difficulties. 

 

What Is Your Favourite Thing About Springwest?

My favourite thing about Springwest is the people because both staff and students treat you equally and do not discriminate. Teachers are supportive in lessons and will help you if you get stuck. They will also make time to speak to you outside of lessons about any problems that you might have. 

 

What Advice Would You Give To A Student Who Is Joining Year 7 In September?

Do not stress out. The people around here will welcome you with open arms and you will have a great time. Also study hard because it will mean that future years are easier and you will achieve the best grades that you possibly can.
