The Year 13 pupils were privileged to attend an inspiring and insightful talk with Robert Murray, who shared the trajectory of his education and career, resulting in a prominent role within NATO International. This year, NATO celebrates 75 years of collective defence.

Robert provided a comprehensive overview of NATO’s history, covering its founding, original member states, growth, and mission of collective defence.

Robert’s talk was highly engaging and encouraging, as he recounted his personal journey, answered questions, and shared his key takeaway: “Never stop reading and learning.” This invaluable advice resonated with the pupils, emphasising the importance of lifelong curiosity.
