A new twist on our University Forum

On 15th March we held a new University Forum at #ColegioLosRobles. This year we added something new: before it began, our Year 13 (2º Bachillerato) students attended a talk-workshop given by people currently studying Psychology (some of them former students), who recently found themselves in the same position as our Sixth Formers — choosing a degree, the pressure of grades, and the stress that comes with it.

The aim of this workshop was to give our students the chance to open up about how they're feeling right now, and to find another source of understanding and support on issues that worry them: self-demand and perfectionism; how to face doubts and fears when choosing what to study and how to come to terms with mistakes; the importance of taking breaks from studying; the transition from school to university, and more.
