A Level Student Spotlight: Sports Fields to Bristol Halls
“Rugby was a huge part of my time at ĢƵ’s,” Oscar reflects. “I’ve been on the team throughout my years here, and it’s taught me so much about teamwork, resilience, and pride.”
One of his most memorable moments was during his final season, when a narrowly lost match left the whole team—and their coach—fighting back tears. “Even though we didn’t win, the emotions we all shared made me incredibly proud to wear the ĢƵ’s top,” he says, emphasising the deep bonds and life lessons forged on the field.
“Consider ĢƵ’s not just for the academics, but for the community and friendships dz’l form here. Those are the things that really make a difference.”
As the time came to think about life after ĢƵ’s, Oscar initially found it challenging to decide on a university course. However, through the school’s comprehensive careers support, including university visits and careers days, he discovered a passion for Mechanical Engineering. “Before these events, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to study, but they helped me find a course that really suits me,” he says.
Oscar also speaks highly of the support he received during the university application process. “Mr. Harrison and Mrs. Prescott-Morrin made everything so much easier,” he says. “Their guidance was really helpful, especially during the more difficult parts of the application process.”
We know dz’l make the most of your time at Bristol, Oscar—best of luck!
