Our Stories

“When I was choosing schools back home in Hong Kong, Edinburgh was recommended to me by my cousin who attended the University of Edinburgh. I soon found that living in the boarding house suits me very well as it's so easy to just walk into school each morning! My two favourite subjects right now are Mechanics, and Design and Manufacturing – I really enjoyed a memorable lesson where we disassembled an entire toaster! Away from academic work, I relax at the badminton club, fitness club and the new spin class. I’m also part of the Sixth Form committee, which is mainly about improving life for Sixth Formers here in different ways, and participated in the UK space design competition. The brief was to design a structure in Mars and the St George’s team won the regional event. Finally, one of the most helpful things at the school is the amount of help offered for the UCAS forms – from checking our personal statements to the application process itself.”
