I went to watch this yesterday and was absolutely blown away by the energy of these student's. They embraced the characters. The emotions they were portraying felt so real. Well done to you all.

Today is #HolocaustMemorialDay; dedicated to remembering those who suffered under Nazi persecution and subsequent genocides across the world. We must keep their stories alive for those who forget history are destined to live through it again. https://t.co/URZcacHhZX

Petition: Protect student choice: do not withdraw funding for BTEC qualifications https://t.co/89jBCjT6g1

[Mandy Birk @BirkMandy]

BTECS are a great alternative qualification that offer students progression routes into university, apprenticeships and employment..
Let's ensure they do not get scrapped...

Great advice on personal statements.

[Meg Griessel @mjgriessel]

Loved this!!

@NancyBentleyWP & I were joined by @CharRecruit, @BirkMandy & Rachel! We’ve been reading ALOT of personal statements. We discuss the best writing we’ve seen & some final top tips.

(I also shared the first sentence on my UG History personal statement — major cringe)

[St Mary's Schools & Colleges @StMarysOutreach]

What an incredible Open Day! It was awesome to welcome so many prospective students & their families to @YourStMarys! 💙🤍

Thank you to our wonderful Student Ambassadors who did such an amazing job talking to visitors about their student experience and helping where needed ✨⭐️

As the Nationality and Borders bill returns to the Lords today, a recap of how outrage has grown out of one of its many abhorrent aspects - clause 9 – which would allow ministers to revoke the citizenship of British nationals without notice on ‘public interest’ grounds

Thank you @Punjab2000music
@HarjapBhangal, @SukhiBart
for organising the much needed discussion about Clause 9 of the Nationalities and Borders bill. Your right, this is something we do need to shout about. As I like many others are questioning #AmIreallyBritish

Tonight is the first night of #Hannukah (#Chanukah).Hanukkah is the Jewish Festival of Lights.
The word 'Hanukkah' means 'Dedication' in Hebrew. It celebrates a miracle that happened in Jerusalem over 2,000 years ago.
Wishing everyone celebrating @YourStMarys #HappyHanukkah.

[Mandy Birk @BirkMandy]

Agree @ShabanaMarshall. This documentary was a true reflection on the Empire and how Britain is shaped today. Thank-you @Sathnam. If haven't had the chance to watch, I definitely recommend it.

[Shabana Marshall @ShabanaMarshall]

This was absolutely fantastic, thank you @Sathnam You weren't afraid to ask difficult questions, and helped to highlight how Empire shaped modern day racism, as well as a multi-ethnic Britain. I'm really looking forward to next Saturday's episode! #EmpireStateofMind

[StMarysInterfaith @InterfaithSt]

Come to the @YourStMarys Chapel today and light a candle for peace. Take a moment for yourself to reflect on the strength you have shown through these difficult times and look ahead with hope and love ❤ @SimmsChaplaincy #interfaithweek

[Mandy Birk @BirkMandy]

It was such a lovely atmosphere seeing @YourStMarys students and staff comming together to enjoy the art of henna and hijab tying.
Thank you and well done @StegmannKat for these beautiful designs. A fantastic 1st attempt.

Today I am representing my punjabi culture. I am wearing a Phulkari which means 'flower craft'. It's the rural embroidery tradition in punjab. Earrings are called Papil Patti..
What are you wearing?
What have you brought?
