Guest Judge, Sophie Bullen – conceptual artist and curator, has chosen her winners.
Congratulations to Malak from The Elmgreen School, Hailee and Ms Howell from Kingsdale Foundation School.
There were many wonderful images, why don’t you take a look and chose your own winners and runners-up?
Our Student Voice project concluded on Wednesday when almost 70 students from 12 schools came together in a hall in Herne Hill. Four inter-school teams presented the initiatives that they have been collaborating on for the last six months. We learnt about Food Banks, Recycling, Sustainable Cookery and finding ways to give our old stuff a new life. We were treated to vegan brownies, watched videos and took part in a Kahoot Quiz. Our panel of judges were very impressed and we hope to see the ideas adopted by many schools.

We were really rocking on Tuesday at The Charter School North Dulwich when eight bands from six SSLP schools came together for a Song Writing Workshop organised by the SSLP Music Hub. They worked with four industry experts in the morning and then gave us a performance after lunch, choosing to either do a familiar cover or their own music. Two bands from Alleyn’s School and one from The Charter School East Dulwich were brave enough to perform their own songs for us!

Students from six SSLP schools gathered at Dulwich College on Tuesday for a live Thinking About with Adam Kay. After a workshop exploring some of the key themes Adam shared fascinating insights into his varied career as a doctor and writer. Adam, whose best-selling book This is Going to Hurt was adapted into a hugely successful eight-part BBC comedy-drama, was interviewed by Year 12 student Zaki.

40 aspiring pastoral leaders came together on Thursday at Alleyn’s school for the finale of this year’s professional development series. They had the opportunity to hear from four experienced pastoral leaders, ask questions in small groups and to network over dinner.

Every SSLP school is represented by two Student Ambassadors who together form a Student Council influencing SSLP student activities. They meet at the beginning of each term to discuss upcoming events. We met earlier this week, with representatives attending from Alleyn’s, Compass and JAGS.
As well as engaging with this term’s activities Ambassadors will be encouraging students to participate in this year’s impact evaluation.

This is the fifth and final round of the SSLP Photography Competition 2023, this month we are looking for pictures that play around with the real world. You might respond to the word ‘reflection‘ by capturing a mirrored image or by showing someone in a state of reflection; or perhaps you’ll be inspired by the word ‘perspectives‘ and show something from an unusual angle or create an illusion by lining up things near and far. If you’re very clever perhaps your image will respond to both words! We look forward to seeing what you create.
Use your imagination, camera settings and, if you wish, editing software to create an image that that responds to Reflections and Perspectives.
Our guest judge this month is artist and Software engineer, Karl Sims
