Graduation and Bop!

Today was students' last full day at the summer school. In  the morning students had some free time, which Daisy and some of the other students used to go punting as Daisy hadn't been able to go with the rest of the summer school. She enjoyed the experience, and from the sounds of it the other girls enjoyed  an excuse to go again!

Students had their last seminar in the afternoon. In Life as a Junior Doctor, which was attended by Radu, Tudor, Shalini, Greg, Simon, Elizabeth, Sarah and Nayab, students went through common conditions and diseases which doctors have to deal with such as Diabetes, Epilepsy and Heart Disease.

They also discussed specializations - Nayab and Elizabeth were interested in hearing about Paediatrics, and Radiology and Plastic Surgery were also discussed. Students also received application and interview advice specific to medicine to aid their forthcoming university applications and exams.

In the evening a barbecue was set up, and students made the most of the lovely weather and ate in the garden. Students then had time to freshen up in time for their graduation. Gathered in the garden, the staff team gave out certificates at the graduation ceremony and congratulated all of our students for their excellent effort on the summer school.

     Celebrations ensued, kicking off with our now perfected summer school mocktails and ice-cream! Then it was time for the 'Bop' (Oxford slang for party) to begin.  There were some impressive dance skills - including Kit teaching students the Highland Fling! After lots of dancing students were tired out and relaxed with popcorn and a film.
