Dear Parents and Carers,

Recently we have had students enter essays in to the John Locke Institute’s 2024 Global Essay Prize. I am pleased to report that Aaryan Mahtani (Year 8) and Alex Villata (Year 12) have had their essays shortlisted and have been invited to the awards ceremony in London in September. Congratulations to them both for this outstanding achievement.
