Sixth Form student Karena heads to New York for UN General Assembly Week

Bringing Westbourne Sixth Form excellence to New York!

Sixth Form Head Pupil, Karena, recently attended the UN General Assembly Week to mark its 80th anniversary. Karena represented the Hong Kong Youth Delegate, and as a founder of her NGO, The Ogma Project, which aims to spread awareness about endangered languages.

The 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly – under the theme Better together: 80 years and more for peace, development and human rights – comes at a pivotal moment to renew global commitment to multilateralism, solidarity and shared action for people and planet.

Developing global mindedness

In recent years, thanks to our expansion across three continents, our students now benefit from inspirational teaching not only on campus in Penarth, but also via a pioneering “global classroom”, which facilitates supplementary teaching led by the very best teachers and subject specialists from our global schools.

Students and teachers from across Westbourne’s global schools form a powerful academic network, collaborating and working together in real time, as if in the same room.

Whether studying A-Levels or the internationally renowned IB Diploma, our Sixth Form students are supported to think and innovate globally, gaining the skills and confidence to excel in the careers of the future, on the global stage.

Congratulations, Karena, on this remarkable achievement  – a true demonstration of ambition, intellectual curiosity, and entrepreneurship.
