Tons of homogeneous talent -- the tooth bleach is blinding. No story,
no rhythm (oddly enough), over-processed young actors with expensive
haircuts and wardrobe.
This film isn't about a school with young hopefuls, it's about a fictitious institution packed full of painfully beautiful pimple-free young people.
In the original film, a handful of personalities burst onto screen and their characters were revealed as layers peeled away.
In this version, tons of hotties are thrown in and popped like corn. Nothing memorable occurs, no great songs or outstanding characters. This should have been called "Fame: Another High School Musical" Looked up the director on IMDb.com and he produced Briney Spears' tours -- talk about unoriginal, packed with fluff, and emotionally depthless. He brings all those qualities to this film.
I remember when I was younger I enjoyed the original Fame movie.
Although I currently can't remember anything about the movie at all,
save for the theme song. Tonight I got the chance to see the sneak peek
of the 2009 version. Overall, I wasn't impressed. What was wrong with
the movie? 1.) The plot
or lack thereof. There were so many "main"
characters, that the scenes just jumped from one to another without any
real cohesion. Sometimes there were even two scenes going on at the
same time with the camera flashing back and forth between the two.
2.) The timeline. Before each "section" of the movie, you got a title like "Freshman Year", "Sophomore Year", "Junior Year", and "Senior Year". This would have been fine if they spent any time in these years. Instead, they went by so fast that the title just threw off the pace. For example, you get introduced to the characters and see "Freshman Year". Then you get to see their insecurities and character flaws all over the course of one day. The next day is "Sophomore Year" and the characters have made no forward progress since day one of freshman year. The movie could have been vastly improved by simply stripping out these time stamps.
3.) Character development. Tied to the first two problems with this movie is the character development. There is so much going on and time passes so fast that you don't really get to see much development of many of the characters. I understand there is only so much time in the movie, but that could have been resolved by reducing the number of "lead" characters. If you reduced the number of people we had to keep track of, we'd be able to see more how those characters evolve, and care more about them in the end.
4.) Lack of resolution. None of these characters really show any sign of improvement until the last scene in the movie, and then we still get no resolution on how things turned out. The last scene is graduation and we have no idea if any of these people amounted to anything after that. Very few even make mention to what they MIGHT be doing after the movie ends. Heck, I would have even settled for the lame freeze frame with written text explaining what people went on to do (which is a pretty cheesy cheat out of writing a resolution to your story as is).
5.) Predictability and memorable characters/scenes. I am going to lump these two issues together, because they go pretty much hand-in-hand. the movie from beginning to end was pretty predictable. There were absolutely zero surprises within. As a result, there was very little memorable about the movie. In fact, without looking at IMDb, I couldn't name a single character in the movie.
So was there anything good about the movie? I guess for what it was, it was an okay movie. No real surprises, and nothing you are going to remember any length of time from now (which is maybe why I don't remember the first movie). But I did enjoy the gratuitous completely unrealistic cafeteria jam session on day one of Freshman Year. And some of the cast music (which I assume was mostly original at least nothing I've heard elsewhere) was good. Actually, I would have been okay if it was just one jam session after another, because I kinda dug that cheesy scene. Otherwise I say that if you are really interested in this movie, or perhaps a fan of the previous one, wait for the DVD. There are much better movies you could spend your money watching, especially since tickets are so high these days.

okay.... so first things first.... I was invited to the N.Z. premiere
tonight in Auckland of the new "Fame" reboot or remake or whatever you
want to call it. I thought free food, a few celebrities to stalk and
some free beers and then the movie to end it all, sounds like a good
night. I grew up with the 80's fame on t.v. I saw Leroy rocking it
weekly on screen... so yeah I was interested to see how they re-branded
this film for the new millennium. To be frank, I was not expecting
"Fame" to be an academy award masterpiece but I was still very
intrigued after watching the trailer, the music sounded cool, the
atmosphere seemed a little charged the trailer was cut nicely... but
sadly... thats where all the excitement ended in the trailer.....
This movie is b- to- the -oring.!! BORING! So I will be mentioning some spoilers so stop reading here if that's an issue for you.... got an issue grab a tissue.
Basically they take a bunch of very talented up and coming singers, dancers, actors etc and they cram 4 freaking years of this elusive, over the top, hardest school in the world to get accepted to into a roughly 90 minute film. Every 25 minutes was one year.. starting with a "freshman year" title on the screen... then about 25 minutes later fade to black and "sophomore year" then about 25 minutes later "junior" etc etc... this spread the movie extremely thin... although the leads hair grew longer or haircuts changed so you knew they were older and more mature.
They have the cliché young black guy who is full of torment and angst that his father left him, who sits all melancholy in the stairwell while everyone else is in the cafeteria dancing on tables and plugging in guitars and hitting bongos. There is the young black woman who is being forced to play classical piano by her parents when all she really wants to do is be free and sing her heart out... because no one cares about her needs. There is the typical geeky video guy who always seems to have a camera in his hands when you see him, the gay male ballet dancer who no matter how hard he tries cannot cut it and impress his teacher.... blah blah blah and the young girl actress wannabe singer who starts singing in a little tiny voice all shy and quiet, so you would expect that bam she will find herself and come out of her shell like her teachers have been telling her the ENTIRE 4 YEARS!!!!! BUT NO.... nothing changes... she doesn't get a big voice, stays wooden and timid and shy... I mean seriously I thought this school was supposed to be only accepting the best of the best! They just spent the first 20 minutes showing us auditions and having the school principal tell everyone that thousands audition but only a few hundred are accepted!! There are so many cheesy moments, from the black guy saying "aiightt" to the "I just want my parents to be proud of me" to the boyfriend "I'm just going to sing to you and give you a big hug and then cartoon rabbits will come out and doves will lower a silk scarf around your neck and there will be world peace and God bless you tiny tim"... what?!?! Okay so maybe I'm going a little over board but there was more cheese in this then a stuffed crust pizza from domino's.
I think the biggest problem with this film is you walk away with a "who cares" mindset. The fact that they have approx. 10 main roles and follow them for their four years of tuition which is crammed into 90 minutes of movie is so thin... you just don't care about the characters at all because you don't get to know them. Each person maybe gets about 15-20 minutes screen time max. Then you are left wondering so what about him or what about her or did she make the album or did he get kicked out or did they stay together or how did the father handle the news????!? The story is not interesting, it extremely average, there is ZERO edge to this reboot.... no pizazz no hype no excitement. It's plain dull.
I'm sure that young girls aged between 5-13 will like this, is this who 'fame' is catered towards??? I mean if tweens is the fame target demographic then it may do okay for a week or two. Sadly the biggest audience reaction from tonight's "Fame" premiere was when the "New Moon" trailer screened before the start.
Some good things..... The singing is amazing... the dancing is as you would expect incredible but over all that's it. The acting a big thumbs down, I came away from this feeling like it was a very expensive made for TV movie. The story is all over the place, spread top thin and unlike the trailer again I say there is no edge, It's like a pilot for a new TV series... actually.... is that what it is suppose to be?!?
FAME is LAME!
Don't be fooled by the trailers, Fame is not as dazzling and inspiring as it may seem. Strip away the fancy lighting, music and camera work and you're left with nothing less than a cast of one dimensional, mundane, and unlikeable characters. The movie doesn't give enough time for any of the characters to develop and therefore, I ended up feeling like I barely knew the characters at all, even at the end of the film. I don't even think I could name all of them. The actual script and dialogue is not any better and the plot feels forced and irrelevant to what the movie claims to be about. From the looks of it, no one in the movie is cut out for actual "fame" with the exception of Payne's character who is portrayed as an arrogant and selfish dancer. The cast had a lot of potential to become very likable characters but because of the poor script, their performances fall flat and feel fake. I entered the movie with hopes of being entertained even if it was on a strictly "crowd pleaser" level. I left feeling like I had just wasted an hour and a half of my life learning that "success is love." There are no real resolutions to any of the character's trials and tribulations. Life must suck at this performing arts school because no one learns anything particularly profound or life changing. Don't waste your time with this movie, and if you still want to, at least wait for it to come out on DVD. The large screen, dark theater, and popcorn won't make this movie any better than the dud that it is.
I had watched the original Fame movie when I was a kid, enough to know
the theme song sung by Irene Cara, but little else. Fast forward to
today, I'm pretty sure I still enjoyed the reworked theme song, but the
film unfortunately is a disaster, with predictable story lines,
cardboard characters, and while I'm quite OK that it may have tried to
be more documentary like in its presentation, it just fell short on
almost all accounts, save for some of the set musical pieces.
Despite its hip trailer aimed specifically at its demographic audience, the film just didn't work out, and tried too hard to resemble plenty of dance movies already out there, except that it did a lot more worse by injecting too many characters having everyone bear the brunt of the burden in carrying the film through its runtime, through supporting role appearances at best. Having cast a relative bunch of good looking unknowns also helped in providing the fresh-facedness required, but it's akin to watching a bad episode of American Idol, except that you don't get to choose who stays and who goes.
Granted it wanted to be more "School like" encompassing all the various subjects taught from dance to acting, in quite an elitist fashion in getting mere hundreds amongst thousands of applicants, and if quality control was so stringent, it provided critical flaws to the plausibility of the show. For one, these characters are talented folks, and it's just no good treating talented folks like toddlers in school, picking on every little thing they do wrong in hoping to polish those rough diamonds. Also, the screening of candidates, while provided some Audition hilarity, was mostly based on the whims of the various instructors, hence the kind of petty issues they dredge up for themselves, like the angry actor who thought the stage was his calling, throwing tantrums and in need for some serious counselling.
But the most critical flaw of them all, for a movie in its genre, is whence the buildup and character development? We're suppose to believe that after their graduation they're all "ready to make it" in the big, bad, unforgiving world of fine art performance. Unfortunately the output's pretty much the same as the input, save for a few characters who turned into perfect gems overnight, with nary any focus on their transformation. The best just coasted through school, while the worst (amongst the best) turned in much better performances through the sprinkle of magic dust or through the rubbing of shoulders. There must be something in the diet served by the school's canteen as well it seems.
Fame fell short and became plain, formula, predictable, and ultimately boring. The screenplay reeked laziness - who needs yet another teenage movie where it tells you that even the best amongst us suffer from trouble dished out by disapproving parents, romantic relationship roadblocks, yet another naive girl becoming bait for hot looking predatory guys, wanting to fulfill a deep desire and break out of routine, discrimination, trust and integrity. The list just goes on, no thanks to individual cardboard characters being assigned some thematic homework, and turning in the results in little episodes and scenes, without allowing the audience to build any emotional connection, or to even root for the underdogs.
It's ambitious too in its setting, taking on the entire school journey of these select group of youngsters, albeit without a real story, nor gelling them together in one coherent way. Technically, director Kevin Tancharoen (who had so far done music videos) and cinematographer Scott Kevan had opted for the shaky cam technique, for what reasons I do not fathom, and came off quite irritatingly. Someone should start preaching the virtues of mounting the camera of a tripod, versus making it a lame excuse to want to do it documentary style, or to allow for fluid motion in capturing the performances, not!
The only saving grace here, are some of the performances, be it group dance ensembles, or solo acts. I had preferred the former a lot more for their energy and choreography, and amongst all the disciplines, I personally enjoyed the dances a lot more, compared to the others like acting, or even singing, due to the rather lacklustre tunes and mediocre lyrics.
This is one film that I'd rather not remember its name, and could be called anything else other than a remake of Fame.
The movie had such a good vibe in the early stages before we actually
started to shoot it. In fact, it had such good energy going on, that it
was a pity it ended up being cut-up/chop-chopped and 'sanitized'. There
were a lot of scenes that unfortunately did not make the final cut.
These scenes showed stories about true friendship, love, passion,
relationships, sexuality, disappointments and successes in detail thru
character development. Though the locked version was 'tamed down'
because of the PG rating, a DVD directors cut would probably show the
actual stories of the 10 different characters.
It seemed that Mr. Tancharoen forgot (maybe intentionally?) that he had 10 characters to develop. It appeared that there was concentration on one, Ms. Panabaker (and how could her character pass such a rigid audition?), Mr. Book, Mr. Pennie, Ms. Naughton (who sang very well) and Ms. Payne. Whatever happened to Mr. Iacono, Mr. McGill, Ms. Perez de Tagle, Ms. Flores (Did you notice her? what character did she portray?) and Mr. Perez? What are their life stories or experiences? Being part of the crew, I witnessed a number of scenes where Joy (Anna Maria), Kevin (Paul McG, who plays a gay dancer did you notice?) and Neil (Paul I, obsessed film maker) developed and established their friendship. There was a dramatic/touching scene where Joy and Kevin made the whole crew shed tears and I thought that would have been a clincher in the film. But sad to say, it ended up in the editors bin. Ms. Perez de Tagle should have been given more substantial scenes. She really is a "Joy" to watch. If I may add, Mr. McGill as handsome as he is, should have been given the same opportunity. In my opinion, these three characters would have been able to show the true color of FAME.
Needless to say, Mr. Tancharoen should have captured the true essence of the "New York PA youth" by utilizing and developing all of his characters evenly. In my opinion, he could have done that, if he had chosen to do so. However, it seems that Mr. Tancharoen concentrated on just one character's development .Jenny (Ms. Panabaker) .whom he had 'captured' and "captivated" way before the filming was over. Sad, utterly sad, but true.
Give it a chance, view it in it's entirety. Maybe a PG-13 rating would have made the FAME re-invention .'live forever' Thank you.
KW, Beverly Hills, CA
Definitely, a niche movie that only relates to teens already in the
performing arts. To me it felt like the writer crammed 4 seasons of
Degrassi or all 3 High School Musicals into 140 minutes. All in all,
there wasn't a sufficient amount of time to flesh out any aspect of the
Way too many characters. Dull musical numbers. Bland choreography. Uninteresting AND unnecessary romantic subplots.
The movie should have focused more on the professional growth of each student over the course of freshman year by really spotlighting the student/teacher dynamic.
Instead the movie flaunts the futile personal endeavors of each student over a four year span at a prestigious academy. So by the end, the high school backdrop felt completely pointless because the students learned absolutely nothing to separate their senior level experience from the original insecurity of their auditions.
Kevin Tancharoen's rambunctious first feature film (after directing a
series of music TV shows like "The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search
for the Next Doll") isn't as mawkish or amateur as you may expect. He
may not have Martin Scorsese or Steven Spielberg looking over their
shoulders, but Tancharoen clearly knows how to shoot a dance sequence.
Thankfully he understands what the audience want from a movie like this
and it isn't lengthy conversations or scenes to showcase the young
stars' acting chops, we want exceptional dancing mixed with an
ear-pleasing soundtrack. From that standpoint this first-timer
We meet the characters during the introduction as they audition for a spot in the highly sought-after academy, each one of them showing their obvious skills over a well crafted montage that establishes the tone for the rest of the movie. From there we go from one rhythmic set piece to another, of varying enjoyment levels, with the absolute highlight coming from a Halloween party boogie at the halfway point. The gigantic finale goes for broke however doesn't quite reach the heights it should. Also worth noting is Tancharoen's ability to ensure non-dance enthusiasts (like myself) will be entertained no matter what art form is on display; those who think they could never take pleasure in ballet just try and not be entranced with the routine led by the lithe Kherington Payne in the second half.
Every film needs a plot and character arcs mind you and this is where Fame's failings become quite evident. The massive ensemble cast is simply too big; trying to follow the amount of individuals on offer is often frustrating. When you start to like someone they disappear for 30 minutes whilst we see the other dozen or so stories unfold, and only randomly do they intersect each other. Of the young cast Kay Panabaker, Asher Brook and Paul Iacono are the pick whilst the wise and wonderful teachers are best served by Bebe Neuwirth and Charles S. Dutton.
So how much is the final result affected by the hit-and-miss acting (the romantic scenes between the teens are excruciating), unfocused screenplay and ridiculous reasons to break out in song and dance? Not all that much to be honest. A film that can be this fun to watch doesn't deserve to be hung up on faulting elements such as these. Go in expecting a collection of enthralling dance numbers and you will be walking out a satisfied customer.
3.5 out of 5 (1 - Rubbish, 2 - Ordinary, 3 - Good, 4 - Excellent, 5 - Classic)
I really enjoyed seeing how talented they were, and it gets you feeling rhythmic. At first, I thought it was going to be a good movie, seeing how the auditions went. But, after that part and they went onto freshman year, I got a little disappointed. They showed the students' problems, and what they're going through to make it to be famous, but it almost seems like the director got bored of the movie itself, and just skipped through a lot in the movie. You don't see how the students' problems were faced and how they were solved, you first see them upset, and then at the end, they're happy and ready to graduate? That's not a very good plot, actually, there isn't a plot at all. I am upset with the movie, but the dancing was great. Overall, it really was enjoyable.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
If you're thinking this is just another Step-Up, Save the Last Dance,
or Raise Your Voice, you're wrong, but there are definite similarities.
This features a school for the arts, much like the other film, but this
one goes through a bit more character development.
Everyone has to audition to see if they have what it takes to get into the school. Starring Megan Mullally, Kelsey Grammar, Bebe Neuwirth, Charles Dutton, and other stars that aren't really well known to me. The bigger names are all teachers who help the students with their musical and acting talent. This movie gets into what families struggle through to get their kids into a really good school. Including making hard decisions and in the end letting them make their own choices. Relationships are tested and if you really care about someone, you will not let anything get in the way. This movie may seem dull at first, but it was a good one to watch and might just be more exciting than the others I have mentioned.

When David Fincher hired me to build software effects sequences—animations of code and computer interfaces—for Zuckerberg's and others' monitors in The Social Network, he threw hackers everywhere a bone we'd been slavering over for a long time.
At one point during the project a set decorator asked me, "Why did they hire you?" After the ensuing moment of crushing self-doubt passed, I answered, "So it doesn't end up like Swordfish." Sullen, he confessed he'd worked on the movie.
Movie code has been in the news lately thanks to moviecode.tumblr.com and those reporting on it. Earlier this year, Wired gave a shout-out to The Social Network and another project I worked on with Fincher's team, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo:
[D]irector David Fincher gets it right: When his characters—like Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo or Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network—enter the digital realm, their coding language is consistent with what they're trying to accomplish. Lisbeth at least knows SQL code, while Zuckerberg is using legitimate code that appears to have been created for the film.
Indeed, the code that appeared in The Social Network, in both text and deployed (i.e. webpage) form, was written just for the movie. But why?
Three reasons why you should consider real code for your movie
1. You'd be surprised how many people can spot a fake
This was what first got me excited about the Social Network project. Finally, someone was making a movie that would portray software realistically. The more people I talked to about my new project, the more I realized, it's not just professional geeks who notice dumb software effects sequences. Other people who are going to call you out include:
- Investment bankers who script Microsoft Excel
- Designers and 3D artists who write ActionScript and MEL
- High school cheerleaders who learn HTML in the computer lab
- Any of the millions of untrained-but-still-very-skilled hobbyist programmers
- Anyone who knows a software engineer (as you can see, we're absurdly vocal about BS code in movies, hence this post)
These days, everyone codes.
2. When you use real code, you get real interfaces for free
When you build a set, you actually build it. You have a mason lay the tile and a carpenter put up the trim. You also have the carpenter hang the door on hinges, drill a hole and install a doorknob. Why?
In The Social Network, as in most movies with code, characters interacted with the deployed form of the software others were building/hacking, too. In one scene, Zuckerberg codes "Facemash." In another, tipsy college students use the website to rank one another's photos. Later, Mark and his colleagues write, in scene after scene, Facebook. Interleaved with those scenes are others where engrossed early adopters use the product. We used the same code for both sorts of scenes, on the one hand in text form and on the other running on a real web server.
It's not only the Social Network that has this interplay between code and interface. Swordfish could have benefitted from a tighter (read: any) coupling between the hack and the system being hacked. Even when you don't see source code, it's usually obvious when a "webpage" has been slapped together in Photoshop versus coded in HTML and CSS.
So why do you put a real doorknob on the door? Because after sitting prettily in the background for awhile, it's going to have to open for someone. You wouldn't have a sculptor build you a fake door out of Fimo, so why would you ask a graphic designer to build your website, an animator to make it seem functional and a set decorator to scrounge the web for some bogus source code?
3. Real code keeps you honest
It's hard to translate "[Protagonist] circumvents the firewall and hacks the mainframe" into an effects sequence without digging a lot deeper. What data is she accessing and how? What OS is she on? (Unix/Linux or maybe OS X. In any case, it should match her hardware.) Is she using a window manager and terminal window, or did she boot straight to the command line? (These days, probably the former.) Is she using ssh or telnet/s_client/etc. or coding her attack?
Instead of asking and answering these questions, filmmakers often resort to eye candy as a substitute. But eye candy isn't what you see when you use a computer. And we all use computers. Slick 3D animation and sounds effects (why is it beeping??) yank us back out into our dirty, real theater seats and remind us that what's unfolding on the screen is a fiction.
By coding and/or capturing real software, the filmmaker is forced to examine a technology story more closely, filling in the blanks inevitably left by the script. The result is a more convincing, immersive experience.

Friends With Four Paws (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73156) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization formed to rescue animals at the Chickasha Animal Shelter in Oklahoma from imminent death by having mobile adoption locations and providing foster care for dogs and cats. Founded in 1998, we have matched several dogs and cats with their perfect, forever homes, where they otherwise would have been sent to the Rainbow Bridge.
Our program has drastically changed throughout time, as many do. We get our animals from local municipal shelters and from the general public. Once they are in our program, they go to a foster for several weeks, get all of their veterinary work done, and are listed for adoption.
Our transport program allows us to move dogs through our system fairly quickly, which means we are able to save many lives. Our adoptive homes are all over the United States including: Oklahoma, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and even Maine! We LOVE our adopters, fosters and volunteers and would not be able to make the difference we make without them.

Sarah spent 15 – 21 March 2015 in Iaşi, Romania, on an exchange programme that saw young people from four European countries come together to learn about sustainability and social entrepreneurship. Here's what she got up to…
When I applied to go on this exchange, it was with very little idea of what I was actually signing up for. However, since the birth of the Edge of the Universe Printing Press I've come to learn that it nearly always pays off to say yes to whatever opportunities come our way – even if we don't always initially understand exactly what those opportunities are…
And so it was when Rachel from Youth Discovery Ventures (a really great Sheffield-based social enterprise, who we had worked with before) let me know that YDV was recruiting the UK participants to a Youth Entrepreneurship for Sustainability (soon shortened to 'YES') exchange, which would take place in Romania, and asked me if I would like to apply to take part.
As usual, saying yes turned out to be the right decision, as my time in Romania was one of the best weeks EVERRRRRR!!!!1!1!1! (Seriously – it really was)
The exchange was overseen by Suportis, a Romanian social enterprise focused on youth action, and was attended by groups of five participants each (one facilitator, who co-led the week, and four participants) from the UK, Romania, Estonia and Turkey, respectively. Here are some of the things I learned on it:
Things I learned about Romania:
Iaşi (pronounced "yash") is a city in eastern Romania. Its population is about the same size as Coventry's, but Iaşi has far more dogs and far less intimidatingly gigantic Ikeas. It was a really cool, welcoming city – not least because the GBP-RON exchange rate meant that a gourmet two course meal in a scenic sky bar cost about £6 – and being there taught me masses about Romania's awesome culture. Here are just three key things:
1. Dancing
Every Romanian I became friends with on the exchange was a really, REALLY good dancer. One of them told me that dancing was the Romanian national pastime, and this certainly appeared to be true: every time we were at a bar and a Romanian song came on, loads of people would immediately leap to their feet and start doing these (to my eyes) impossibly complicated routines. Fortunately Akif, one of the UK team, was also an incredibly good dancer, which meant that he distracted attention away from the rest of us Brits as we jerked along to the music, gamely yet horrendously arrhythmically.
|Iaşi being pretty, plus the #sayyes team
2. Singing
In Romania, they take karaoke seriously. We learned this to our cost: on the first night out we went to a local bar, where we picked a "fun" karaoke song (Britney Spears' 'Hit Me Baby (One More Time)') to perform as a group. It was only after making this choice that we realised everyone else in the bar was not only singing heartfelt ballads, but singing them staggeringly well.
There was actually quite a lot of singing on the trip, as music served as a great window onto other people's cultures. Ion, who was part of the Suportis team and co-ordinated the logistics of the exchange, played some beautiful, sad folk songs for us, whilst Cristian (Romanian participant) and Louis (UK facilitator) treated us to a somewhat less moving, although very enthusiastic, performance of Romanian gangsta rap group B.U.G. Mafia's seminal hit 'Cine E Cu Noi':
3. Positivity
Partly, I would think, as a result of their recent political and economic history (Romania only became independent right at the very end of 1989, and became a full member of the EU in 2007), the Romanian team were all really un-cynical, ambitious and optimistic about what we, as young people, can achieve. This was in stark contrast to the relatively downbeat, disengaged attitudes that seem to characterise my generation in the UK. It was really refreshing and empowering to be around that kind of mindset, and to start to believe that, yes, we do actually have the power to achieve some really great stuff.
Things I learned about making friends:
I should start by saying that I was very fortunate in that everyone on the exchange was really, really lovely. Here are some ways in which we became pals:
1. I'm wary of overpraising alcohol – but nonetheless, it does seem like there are few things that brings people together as effectively as drinking multiple steins of Romanian beer. Drinking was also a great way to get a taste (har har) of the different participating countries, as every nation apart from the UK* brought some of their national booze for us all to share: raki from Turkey; incredibly strong homebrewed wine, incredibly strong homebrewed vodka, and incredibly strong (are you noticing a theme here?) not-homebrewed palincă from Romania; and a drink that I can't remember the name of from Estonia, but that Wikipedia suggests might be called 'kali', that the Estonians miraculously managed to brew at the hostel (how?!), and which definitely contained bread (what?! They amaze me).
* Before the trip we spent a looooong time discussing what we should bring to our intercultural evening – an event where we were to share our country's traditions and pastimes with the others – but ended up massively overthinking everything ('but Cadbury's and Terry's are technically American companies now, aren't they!?' 'I feel like we're not giving a very contemporary perspective on British life, here', etc.). In the end we were too overwhelmed by choice to actually make a decision, and brought nothing with us to share except Yorkshire tea. In hindsight, this decision-making process does seem very fittingly British.
2. If there was anything that could finally convince me to
ditch my (very) long-suffering Nokia 3220 and enter the twenty-first
century by getting a smartphone, it was this trip. Much as I generally spend my
time get annoyed at my friends for being on Facebook / Twitter at all hours, even when
their real-life pals are stood right next to them, IT'S REALLY RUDE,
GUYS, HOW DO YOU NOT REALISE THAT?!, the YES exchange did open my eyes up to
some of the incredibly positive things social media can also be used for.
Namely, services like Snapchat and Instagram, which are primarily visual, are a
really, really great way for people that don't (fully!) share a common language
to communicate. And modern technology can be helpfully utilised in other ways,
too – one of the Turkish girls had an ace translation app on her
phone, which was really useful in helping us understand each other.
|Cheers! / Noroc! / Teviseks! / Serefe!
3. Humour is (obviously) a great way to make friends – much more so than discussing inter-cultural differences, or your respective countries' political issues (very interesting as this stuff is).
But this isn't to say that humour is a universal language. 'Your
weird British humour' was a phrase the UK team heard a lot during the week – and
justifiably so, as I and most of the rest of the British group reached such a
level of sleep-deprived delirium that we did repeatedly enter into very weird states of hysteria during the exchange. And there is also some comedy that
just doesn't translate that well. In our intercultural evening presentation –
the one we drastically overthought – we made the decision (possibly not a wise
one, in hindsight…) to not tell people things they might already know about the
UK, but to instead give an 'alternative perspective' on British cultural life.
Hence why, to exemplify the British sense of humour, we chose to play the
following clip from I'm Alan Partridge to a room full of non-native English
|'Weird British humour' - the Sheffield-based members of the UK team
The reasons behind exactly why we chose to show this are now lost to the mists of time. Hindsight, once again, is a fine thing.
Nevertheless, joking around was the best way to make pals, I think. This reached its peak on the last night of the exchange, when Louis and I spent ages (and ages) telling "knock knock", "doctor doctor" and "man walks into a bar"-type jokes to the Estonian group. Somewhat surprisingly, this went down incredibly well (though seriously, who can fail to be charmed by "Who's there?" "The interrupting cow"? Best joke everrr!) Karolin, the Estonian facilitator, then treated us to her own, unique, style of joke-telling, which consisted of making very surreal, matter-of-fact, totally pointless statements, and then laughing uproariously until everyone else felt compelled to join in. These were genuinely some of the funniest jokes I have ever heard.
4. To me, there was a genuine advantage to us not all speaking the same language to the same level. I realise I'm making this statement from a position of very naïve privilege – the exchange was conducted in English, and a lot of the other participants talked about their frustration at not being able to find the right words to express themselves when speaking in this language – but because we were all actively working to understand each other, it made those moments of connection and understanding much more meaningful and rewarding (or it did to me, anyway). That it was harder for all of us to communicate than usual made me value that communication much, much more.
And because we had a limited range of language in which to express ourselves, there was no room to be shy, reserved, or subtle. The restrictions of language forced me to be way more open, direct, and enthusiastic than I normally would be, and I found this an incredibly rewarding way to be.
Things I learned about social enterprise:
The YES exchange was part of Erasmus+, which apparently is a catch-all term that encompasses a huuuuge number of European Union funding programmes: all of those covering education, training, youth and sport, in fact.
There were three different, themed, weeks to the YES exchange, and our week looked at 'sustainability and social entrepreneurship' – sustainable development being development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
The week started off with activities that saw us identifying different sustainability issues and examining case studies around different entrepreneurial leaders. We then used Augusto Boal's concept of 'forum theatre' (yeah, I had no idea what this was either) to explore how we might fix some of these issues, before filming awareness-raising videos and drawing up business plans to tackle several specific problems more directly.
We also went on a couple of site visits to social enterprises in Iaşi. Veggie/vegan café CUIB was like a home from home – with its racks of bikes outside, cacao-packed cakes, and Pinterest-worthy coloured pencil lampshades, I could easily imagine CUIB nestled in Sheffield's leafy Nether Edge. Guided by principles like slow food, zero waste and fair trade , CUIB also sold locally and ethnically made gifts, including this dope magpie badge which is produced by the Romanian version of the RSPB:
We also visited Util Deco, a large social enterprise on the outskirts of Iaşi that gives education, training, counselling and (primarily, and most importantly) work to people with disabilities. A large population of their staff were people who had been infected with the HIV virus as infants during 1989-1992 (this was a period when, tragically, blood transfusions caused a huge number of infections). The work they were doing included garment making, printing (wahey!!), arts and crafts, and archiving.
A couple of things that really stood out were, firstly, that this social enterprise very effectively utilised a fillip in the law: Romanian businesses legally have to employ a certain percentage of disabled people, and businesses would get around actually doing this by outsourcing their work to Util Deco. Second was the fact that they had hit upon archiving (maybe not very cool, but once again legally necessary, and also very labour-intensive) as a form of job creation.
A bit sadly, if understandably for such a small-scale operation, Util Deco wasn't self-sustaining, as they were in a large part reliant on grants from various European funding bodies in order to keep going. That is to say, the profit they made through the various services they offered was not enough to keep them financially viable; they needed grant money, too.
Things I learned about everything else:
If I had any vague expectations of YES when going into the exchange, it was that it might improve my technical knowledge about social enterprises: I thought I might learn about business planning, or the legal issues governing these kinds of businesses. As it turns out I did learn some of this technical stuff, though not as much as I initially expected – but I learned a heck of other, much more important, stuff instead.
As it turns out, social enterprises don't exist in quite the way they do in the UK (where we have around 70,000 social enterprises!) in other European countries – in Turkey, for example, they don't seem to really exist at all in the way they do here. As such, the exchange had to take us right back to basics, so we could all understand what a social enterprise is and what it does.
Rather than causing me to think "I already know this" (it's very unlikely I would ever think this about anything enterprise-related, as my business knowledge is worryingly minimal), looking at social enterprise and sustainability from a position of not knowing was incredibly eye-opening. Going through the process of questioning core concepts and learning together and from each other was amazing. It meant that, unlike pretty much any other training course I have ever been on, this exchange actually caused a profound shift in my, and other people's, thinking. It was amazing watching people go from being quiet or even timid at the start of the week to being articulate, confident and full of ideas by the exchange's end.
Spending a week in such an intense atmosphere of positivity, optimism, and co-learning really opened my eyes up to how much we, as individuals, can actively do in order to help make the world better. It helped me try to be more open and less cynical, and made me even surer that by leaving one of my part-time jobs and committing to making the Edge of the Universe Printing Press a going concern I've made the right choice.
I've travelled a fair bit in Europe before, but I see now that I was just skimming the surface of other countries. By the end of the exchange I was totally fascinated by the various cultures of the other participants – and really amazed, and heartened, by how well we all managed to bridge language barriers in order to work together and become friends. It made me much more aware, and glad of, my own European-ness!
It also made me really appreciate how ridiculously lucky I am to have been born in the United Kingdom towards the end of the twentieth century (even if it might not always feel that way!), as well as how embarrassing / awful it is that I don't know any other languages, beyond secondary school-level French. The English levels of the other participants were astoundingly good, and put the few words I picked up from their languages to shame (FYI, these were: 'thank you' in Romanian; 'thank you', 'cheers', and a seemingly taboo swear word that I was taught by semi-accident and then not explained the meaning of in Estonian; and a love poem in Turkish, which, albeit somewhat impressive, isn't particularly practical). This made it feel even more outrageously presumptuous that the whole exchange was conducted in English.
|At the end of the exchange we wrote messages to each other - and these are the ones written to me
What next:
- First up, saying a big thank you to Youth Discovery Ventures, Suportis and the rest of the participants for an awesome week
- Secondly, fix my glasses, which I broke, spectacularly, on the first day of the exchange
- I loved this whole exchange so much that I definitely want to go on more of them. There's so much Europe to see! So many new friends to meet! So much world to change!
- I also really, really enjoyed the process of overcoming language barriers to have meaningful communication, and also felt like I was quite good at facilitating this kind of thing – to the extent that I would love, one day, to be a facilitator on these kinds of projects
- Linked to this, I'm hopefully going to start going to a local conversation club in Sheffield, which is aimed at helping develop the language skills of people who can't yet legally access formal English language courses (e.g. refugees)
- In terms of the Edge of the Universe, the exchange defined some key tasks we can do to help focus and improve our social enterprise – including writing a proper business plan!
- I would really like to start doing projects that help facilitate communication between people from different language / cultural groups. I think we could make a really big positive impact with these kind of activities.
- Related to this: I'm now dead interested in the experiences of people who are regularly not communicating in their native language (such as expats now living in the UK) and their experience of that (how it feels; if it causes them to communicate differently; if they miss their native language; etc.). So I want to start making a series of bilingual zines that feature the stories of these kinds of people
- Keep doing more good stuff. Be positive and open. Help change the world. Say yes!

Nigerians have been warned to be careful while dealing with materials that can easily ignite fire this season. The Comptroller General of Nigeria Fire Service, Olusegun Okebiorun gave the warning while speaking with journalists in Abuja.
He also stated that users of electricity at home and in the offices should stop the overloading of sockets and turn off all electrical gadgets at the close of work.
The Fire Service boss stressed that Nigerians wishing to burn bushes as a result of animal hunts should closely monitor the fire as it could spread to adjoining properties.
He warned Nigerians to desist from keeping fuel in the house while avoiding scooping fuel from breakdown petrol tankers.
The Comptroller General stated the Service was at alert to help reduce the number of fire outbreaks in the country within the year.
Fire Safety CodeThe Service has expressed its preparedness to enforce the National Fire Safety Code (NFC) on all public buildings as contained in the Federal Government Circular.
"By this circular, the Federal and State Fire Services are expected to commence the code enforcement delay both at the commencement of any infrastructure and at their completion stages", the Service Boss said.
He called on all stakeholders especially State Directors of Fire Services to step-up fire awareness campaign in their domain to check the spate of fire outbreaks associated with the dry season.

One of my favorite debating points in my MBA class is the limited usefulness of regulation to promote fair competition and stimulate economic growth at the same time. While competition is a good thing, achieving it through regulation usually stifles innovation. Of course, this is a complex area of economic policy that stirs up very intense reactions from people. In fact, when I quoted UK economic policy adviser and Professor of Economics, Stan Metcalfe when he says that "the best competition policy is innovation policy", I had one MBA student tell me about Microsoft urgently needing to be regulated or software innovation would be severely inhibited. The student quit the course but as far as I can tell, five years later, open source software is sorting out Microsoft very nicely.
I'm sympathetic to Metcalfe's view on the relationship between innovation and competition. Of course it's an idea that can be traced back to Schumpeter and other Austrian economists but Stan's views are more than just theoretical. During the 1970s he was an economic policy adviser to the UK government and a large part of this work involved regulating competition, particularly prices of goods and services. If Metcalfe is emphatic about innovation being the solution to fair competition it is because he has seen first hand how the command economy stymies innovation and growth. In his excellent book "Commanding Heights", Daniel Yergin describes the extremes of regulation by governments in the 1970s. My particular favorite is the sandwich inspectors on US airlines who would measure size and fillings to make sure that "fair competition" was happening.
Every now and then I come across an industry where my gut reaction is to say "why doesn't government do something about this!". However, what initially appears to be a form of market failure is usually fertile ground for innovation.
I have been trying to move house recently, which has brought me into contact with the strange world of the real estate industry. If I detach myself a little from the stress of buying and selling and put my academic's hat on, it's another example of where innovation will succeed in reforming the industry where regulation would fail.
To start with, writing about this industry makes me a bit nervous. They definitely don't like criticism. I'll explain..
The Sydney Morning Herald hosted an online forum on peoples' experience with financial planners a few months ago. Of course, the negative comments rolled in and the financial planning association protested. However, the SMH saw that the forum was getting a lot of clicks and consequently kept it going.
The next week the SMH thought it could generate more clicks with a similar forum on real estate agents. The response from SMH readers was even more vitriolic but by the late afternoon, the forum and the story had been removed from the website. Media Watch investigated this strange decision and it turned out that the real estate institute had told the SMH to kill the story, and they did!
The reason why the SMH had responded to the request of the real estate industry and not the financial planners is obvious. Real estate classifieds are one of the last solid revenue sources for newspapers. Freedom of the press is a nice idea, but it comes a distant second to the principle of "don't bite the hand…". If anyone can tell me of an industry that has more power over the Australian press, then please let me know.
After my initial surprise at the industry's ability to control the press, I started thinking about why real estate classifieds were so important to newspapers. Surely the web had taken this market, along with every other section of the classifieds and newspaper advertising. I don't actually know anybody who regularly reads a physical newspaper. So what's the story with realestate.com.au (the dominant website for property listings)?
Well, it turns that realestate.com.au (REA) is 60% owned by News Limited with real estate agent businesses being the second largest group of shareholders. The ACCC actually approved a takeover of realestate.com.au by News in 2005. The decision cites the low barriers to internet advertising as one of the main reasons for approving the takeover. This decision looks a bit misguided to me. The trouble is that first mover advantage with internet aggregation is very powerful and there are increasing returns to scale. It's a bit like Wotif.com. The bigger it gets, the higher the barriers to competition. The result is a fairly cozy relationship between the real estate industry and the print media. I have looked at Realestate.com.au and as far as I can tell there is no way that I can list my house independently from the real estate agent. The same is true with Domain.com.au , owned by Fairfax. If I want to have my house on realestate.com then I have to wear the 15k in commission fees. With the majority of buyers now exclusively relying on realestate.com.au and domain.com.au, its a goldmine to an industry where commissions are tied to rising house prices in a country that has one of the highest house price to income ratios in the world. Nice work if you can get it!
In return, the real estate industry continues to place ads with the newspapers. In particular, the little local newspapers (Westside News in my part of town-which arrives on my driveway every week whether I want it or not), also owned by News Limited, are about 25% real estate classifieds. The only reason why I can think that agents tell clients to write cheques to place advertisements in these suburban newspapers is that it promotes the agency to people who might list their house some time in the future. I just can't imagine someone flicking through the free newspaper and deciding to buy a house in the local area as an impulse decision. Serious buyers go to the two dominant web sites because that's where everything is!
But where there are people making money, there is money to be made. The reason why the real estate industry is so lucrative is that barriers to entry, in the form of internet advertising, have stopped competition.
In theory, what happened to the stockbroking industry in the last 10 years could also happen to the real estate industry, with new business models driving down costs. I can buy shares on the internet now for under $20 and it takes me about 30 seconds. About ten years ago I remember paying $80 for the same service where I had to phone a broker, go into an office and sign paperwork.
The temptation here is to say that government should force News Limited to sell realestate.com.au and prevent ownership by real estate agencies. That might work, but a better idea is to let innovation sort this out.
The best response to a monopoly internet aggregator position is to encourage a business with even greater potential to be an aggregator. Watch out for Google! In fact, Google is already listing properties on Google Maps- and private vendors can list their properties without agents getting involved. Predictably, the response from Fairfax and News Limited has been to threaten to not buy key search terms from Google. Good luck to News and Fairfax – they will need it! The difference is that Google has a viable business model, Fairfax doesn't and News Limited's newspaper business is looking for one. It's just Schumpeter's creative destruction in action. Incidentally, a major real estate shareholder sold their shareholding in REA (owners of realestate.com.au) the day before Google announced its entry into the real-estate advertising business. Something comes to mind about rodents and sea-going vessels….

This complete collection of Moore's poetry, lovingly edited by prize-winning poet Grace Schulman, for the first time gathers together all of Moore's poems, including more than a hundred that were previously uncollected and unpublished. This long-awaited volume will reveal to Moore's admirers the scope of her poetic voice and will introduce new generations of readers to her extraordinary achievement.
The Poems of Marianne Moore, edited by her friend Grace Schulman, gathers some 100 previously uncollected, mostly early, poems and clarifies her poetic development. Moore died in New York City in 1972, at the age of 84, and until now the standard text has been the Complete Poems of 1967. The new edition reveals plainly how, as her poetry steadily evolved, what was foursquare became lopsided, discrepant, asymmetric. What was solid became fluid; what was fixed, untethered. Titles to poems lost their isolation (she converted them into first lines by bleeding them straight into the text) and the text itself dissolved into supplementary notes (some of her poems make little sense without them). Stanzas grew more rococo while, increasingly, the sentences inlaid into them originated and halted in unexpected places. Brad Leithauser

Prayer 81
Speaking with God from the Depths of the Heart
Accept, kind and merciful God,
with the prayers of the Mother of God,
the petitions of the immortal angels, adorned in light,
which sing, without ceasing, with their pure mouths
in constant intercession for my sake.
The angels are virtuous, created good by you,
doer of good,
They are ignorant of evil, established by your command, which rules all, God who is.
They are a mighty force at your disposal, exalted God,
holy, pure, spotless, blessed,
splendid, victorious and invincible,
swift as a flash of the mind.
These guardian angels serve us and plead for us,
just as for the barren fig tree
that did not give fruit for three years,
an eternity encompassing past, present and future,
for a long period it took root
in the vineyard of this world,
decorated with useless foliage, but gave no fruit.
And this is the very image of wretched mankind.
The angels brood over us constantly.
They aid us in our frailty.
They tend our portion of virtue
with everlasting life they pray for our salvation,
saying these words: "Forsake not the work
of your hands."
For truly, this prayer is ours.
You, God on high arranged for them
to say this for our sake,
for they were created by the word,
and we by the action of your hand.
They shall come with your only begotten Son,
as fearsome witnesses at the last judgment,
true accusers of the sins of earthly beings,
before the terrifying tribunal,
justly and fairly counseling us.
There too, they sympathize with us, pleading with sighs,
the perpetual chant of their voices:
Have mercy, you who created them.
Do not destroy them.
Now, with their voices in thanksgiving
and their prayers, immortal and sublime,
inhale also the savory scent of our sighs, creator of all.
You exceed those above and below with
your compassion,
since from you flow all good deeds for us and for them.
And for the sake of the splendor of the
incorruptible beings, miraculous in their fiery forms,
unadulterated purity, sinless, made of fire and
spirit, invincible, with the immense advantage of
their higher status,
their abundant, brilliant knowledge,
fervent with an ardor that does not cool,
with an innate passion for the love of God,
like them, may our cold, smoldering hearts,
be rekindled brightly at the sublime mystery of
the holy table, which is your sanctuary,
and without drowsiness or lethargy,
may we await the blessed command
of your life-giving will, creator of all,
to be united with God inseparably
in cherubic virtue.
They are the great heavenly principalities,
soldiers, pure and awesome,
the virtuous and noble ministers in your
heavenly kingdom,
the glimmering rays of your cloud of light, God on high.
Through them, Jesus, show your merciful
love for mankind
for me also, sinner born of earth that I am.
Through the prayers of my guardian angel
turn me toward the good path of your light,
so that the inheritance of my soul
which you entrusted to his protection,
may be received by you from this life,
with a joyous heart, jubilant within me,
blameless and blessed by you,
might he bring me forward and present me
with a glad and cheerful face,
to you, praised and merciful Lord,
sublime king of glory beyond comprehension,
in the midst of the blissful choir in tumultuous jubilation.
And to you, who are beyond understanding,
with your Father, beyond reach,
and your Holy Spirit beyond words –
glory, honor and adoration,
unto the ages of ages.

Someone's interested in bringing baseball back to Newark?
When everything from Newark Bears jerseys to mascot costume heads was sold off at auction this spring, it seemed like we'd seen the last of professional baseball in Newark.
Maybe not.
The Bergen Record reported yesterday that someone thinks baseball could still work in Newark. And if you've ever bought one of those "As Seen On TV" products, maybe you shouldn't dismiss the idea out of hand.
"As I get older, like most people, you start to think about their legacy and what they're going to do with the money they've accumulated," Telebrands founder A.J. Khubani told the Record. "I'm a Jersey boy," he said. "I love this state. The goal is to bring that team back and support it. It's something that's good for the state."
Check out the full story at NorthJersey.com.
Posted on September 5, 2014, in Baseball, Newark Bears and tagged A.J. Khubani, Baseball, Minor league baseball, Newark, Newark Bears, Telebrands. Bookmark the permalink. 5 Comments.
As the late pitchman Billy Mays would say… "But, wait, there's more!"
As owner of Telebrands, Khubani has also been in trouble with the FTC and the state Department of Consumer Affairs for dubious advertising claims and fraud.
OK, so he's not the most upstanding person in the world, but it appears as if this guy knows how to sell, reportedly (as in, it was noted the article in The Record) that he's been quite successful at identifying fads and milking them then knowing when to move on. So, if his goal is to sell the area on a new baseball team for Newark, he'd be the man. Hopefully, he has enough sense to stay away from a weak league like the CanAm. And, hopefully, should this come to fruition, though he'll likely get little local support, he does far more than the previous owners (and not just Dronet and Spiel) when it comes to marketing.
In my opinion, anything less than an affiliated club in Newark at this time would be a bust, even with a salesman such as Khubani at the helm.

Spend just a short time with us and you will quickly sense the spirit of excitement, the breadth of opportunity, the aspiration to achieve, and the feeling of warmth that characterises our School.
Look a little closer and you will find that Watson's is a diverse community, encompassing girls and boys with a range of talents, abilities and personal qualities.
The success of our pupils is supported by close relationships between the School, our pupils' parents and the wider Watson's community.
This goes well beyond the formal aspects of school life, extending into social, sporting and other extra-curricular activities.
Indeed, it is this shared involvement in the life of the School that is at the core of what is often referred to as the 'Watson's family'.
With over 50 acres of parkland campus situated near the centre of one of Europe's most beautiful cities, we offer our pupils the benefits of a close-knit community in one inclusive and integrated location.
For some of our pupils, life at Watson's begins in their pre-school year in our Nursery.
Our Nursery facilities provide a secure, intimate but stimulating environment for our youngest children at an exciting and formative time in their development. From the very outset, our goal is to provide a sound foundation for learning.
The Junior School provides an excellent education for children up to Primary 7.
This enables children to become successful learners, responsible citizens, effective contributors and confident individuals. These are principles to which Watson's has long adhered, with a proven track record of success.
Our wraparound care for Junior School pupils – Breakfast Club, After School Club and Hoilday Club – provides continuing support for our families' working lives.
Arrival at Senior School is a significant moment and we make sure that all pupils, whether joining from the Junior School or from other schools are supported in this key transition.
Our induction aims to make this step exciting for our pupils, to help them to establish friendships and to allow us to get to know our pupils and for them to get to know us as quickly as possible.
Support for Learning at Watson's is nationally renowned.
A close partnership between experienced and skilled professionals, the pupil and parents helps develop a solution tailored to the individual, from the early years through to Sixth Year.
We believe an excellent education requires both endeavour and achievement in the classroom and beyond. This drives our commitment to a rich and rewarding informal curriculum.
One of the benefits of our size is that we can offer over 80 extra-curricular clubs and activities which are supported by our dedicated teaching and support staff, along with many parents, former pupils and other members of our community.
Ask our pupils, teachers and parents about the Watson's experience, and you will quickly understand the impact of S3 Projects, the two weeks in the Summer Term when small groups of Third Year pupils take to the outdoors for a journey of discovery, challenge and adventure.
S3 Projects is indicative of our conviction that education should be a rounded set of experiences both in and out of the classroom.
The result – a life-changing experience for the pupils and a significant step towards maturity, with many continuing to develop their love of outdoor pursuits by embarking upon The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.
For all our pupils, whether they are with us from Nursery or join us in Senior School, their time at Watson's will play a significant part in their journey into adulthood. We share with parents a responsibility for providing a solid foundation on which to build as our young people progress from
Watson's to future study and the challenges of the world they will inherit.
For our leavers, eager anticipation of new challenges tempers sadness at leaving the School that for many has been a part of their lives for as long as they can remember.
For the School, it is a time to celebrate the achievements of pupils and to wish them every success for the future.
If you would like us to send you a copy of our prospectus, along with our application form, or have any other questions please contact our Admissions Registrar who will be happy to help.
Or come and visit us at our next Open Morning.
