"I always knew I wanted to come to KEHS. As a little girl, my mum would drive past the school gates and tell me that if I worked hard enough, that is where I could go. KEHS was such an important turning point in my life."

"Some of my best memories from school were the trips to Montpellier and Russia as part of my exam courses. Sharing these unique experiences with my closest friends was incredible. KEHS shaped me as a person and continues to support my development. Being surrounded by people who are passionate about their studies prepared me to chase my dreams of studying medicine.

There is no way I could have achieved all this without my Assisted Place. It’s hard to think about those girls who don’t get the same chance that I had. Those who have the ability and really want to come here, but for financial reasons aren’t able to.

I think that each of us understands what it means to have come here, whether we were on an Assisted Place or not. It is so important for us to do all we can to give back to our school community."
