It’s been another busy week at the School. Sixteen girls and four members of staff are currently in Johannesburg in South Africa, as part of an ambassadorial trip to our sister school there, to forge a strong and lasting partnership. This is the first trip for students from Brighton to Roedean South Africa in many years. In other news, it was a great honour to welcome Dame Carol Black, Newnham College’s current Principal, to the School as our Guest Speaker for Speech Day. Dame Carol spoke about women in Science, and, given her own background, she was delighted to hear and read about the strength of STEM subjects at Roedean. It was also fantastic to welcome back those girls who left last year, many of whom are now 6 weeks into their undergraduate courses at universities up and down the country. We were also delighted to welcome OR Lady Jill Ritblat OBE (No. 2, 1955-60) to Roedean last Wednesday. Her visit started with a tour of the School, after which she presented an informal talk on her life to a group of senior girls in the Keswick Common Room. And finally, congratulations to all our dancers, choreographers and backstage team who took part in the 2018 Dance Showcase – A Moment in Time, which was a thrilling and thought-provoking show.
