The presentations included several sessions led by pupils and academic staff. Tillie C in Year 13 led things off with a fascinating analysis of the use of the female form in art. Mr Justin Myers next entertained pupils in the Strathmore Studio with his reflections on life as a professional musician. Mr Kemp fascinated the group with the wide and sometimes frankly disturbing variety of cuisine he has had the opportunity to consume during his world travels – everyone got to sample some Indian street foot, which went down a treat. On Armistice Day, Mr Majid shared a very sobering account of his time as a soldier fighting and being wounded in Afghanistan, along with his thoughtful reflections on the impossible situation the people of that country found themselves in during the war. A completely different experience was had more recently in Fishmongers’ Recital Hall, where the wonderful Mr Girling demonstrated with extraordinary power what a classically trained opera singer sounds like (it blows your hair back), and shared his journey from Gresham’s schoolboy to leading operatic roles at Glyndebourne and in Frankfurt, Germany. From his very impressive cutting-edge ICT suite in the Dyson Building, Mr Bill Robinson demonstrated how, rather frighteningly, AI is used to manipulate our online choices. The term ended with an activity in Dave’s, led by the creative and inspiring Mr Humphrey. Quite a term of rare and wonderful presentations, unique to Gresham’s! More adventures await next term…
