Tristan

Year 13

My favourite moment has been scoring goals in all of the Year 12 vs Year 13 football matches so far, I love how much the crowd enjoys it!

IB Diploma Programme: 

Higher Level: Psychology, Economics, English Language & Literature.
Standard Level: Maths AI, Computer Science, AB Initio Spanish. 

Extend Essay: To what extent are the roles of referees in the English Football Association impacted by abusive behaviours of players? 

Why did you choose TGS for Sixth Form? 
I wanted to keep my career pathway open, so studying six subjects as part of the IB Diploma attracted me.  

What was it like joining TGS from another school?
At first I found settling challenging as TGS is quite different to my previous school, but I was well supported and feel much more settled now.  

What do you think is special about the Sixth Form at TGS? 
How high the standard is, being around hard working and intelligent individuals pushes me to become a better version of myself. 

Describe the TGS Sixth Form in three words:
Supportive, challenging, busy.

What do you enjoy most about being at TGS? 
How supportive the transition between sixth form and higher education is, I feel like I can focus on my studies as I know that staff will support me in what I choose to pursue. 

What does your super curricular programme look like and how does it support your future aspirations?
I have 2 jobs, as an RNLI Beach Lifeguard and a brand ambassador for RateMyApprenticeship as well as reading books about Marketing such as ‘Influence’ by Robert Cialdini. These have set me up well in general life skills, as well as being more specific to Marketing, which is the profession I want to go into. 

What has been your favourite moment to date?
Scoring goals in all of the Year 12 vs Year 13 football matches so far, I love how much the crowd enjoys it! 

What do you hope to do after TGS? 
Despite applying for university and degree apprenticeships this year, I think I’ll be taking a gap year, but afterwards I plan to apply to both again. In particular, I hope to pursue a career in Marketing with an aim to develop a business of my own in the industry.
