As part of their studies in English last term, all Year 8 students read the novel We Were Liars by E. Lockhart and used the text as a means for exploring the concept of resilience. Students submitted a range of work demonstrating their growing understanding of the importance of being able to display resilience and the skills needed in order to overcome particular challenges in life.

It was especially interesting to read the insights they offered in the personal essays that they worked on and two of these responses have been included for you to read.  Thank you Chloe and Isabel for sharing your work with us all. Please click on the links below to view the student’s personal essays.
