This week marks the start of our annual Cross-Curricular Week, this year with the theme Frontiers. The programme invites pupils and staff to explore boundaries in knowledge, creativity, and human experience. Departments have created a wide range of lessons and activities to challenge and inspire, from discussions on migration and scientific breakthroughs to reflections on personal learning frontiers.
The US-Mexico border wall
Highlights include lectures from Peter Danenberg of Google on artificial intelligence, and OW Jonathan Prentice from the UN Network on Migration. The Library is hosting displays on migration, exploration, and scientific revolutions, alongside an academic reading challenge for Senior School pupils.
Amelia Earhart, who disappeared over the Pacific Ocean while attempting to become the first female pilot to circumnavigate the world.
"It is the duty of youth to put into practice 'wild dreams' which are right and just. This is why I am glad to live in the twentieth century. I have before me an ideal for which I can work."
Bruce Dunn OW, in his last editorial in The Lily (1939). He was killed in Burma on 15th May 1944, aged 23.
Clubs and societies are also contributing to the theme, with Philosophy examining self-determination, STEM Journal Club exploring string theory, and the Politics Society arranging for pupils to hear Malala Yousafzai in a special talk at the Sheldonian Theatre. Lessons throughout the school will tackle frontiers both physical and intellectual, from Roman Britain and plate tectonics to the frontiers of art, literature, and computing.
We can’t wait to hear what new frontiers pupils will discover throughout the week!
