Summary
The conversation revolves around the sports mentoring programme at Whitgift School. The programme focuses on the holistic development of young sportspeople, addressing their identity, mindset, movement skills, and lifestyle. The mentors aim to support and guide students in their sporting journeys, helping them understand their strengths, manage challenges, and develop a positive attitude. The program is open to all students, but there is a smaller group of sports scholars who receive more one-on-one interaction. The workshops and modules are integrated into the school culture and aim to enhance students' physical capabilities, social connections, and overall performance. The mentors also emphasise the importance of nutrition, sleep, and other lifestyle factors in sports and academic success. The programme encourages students to explore different activities and interests, building their confidence and self-awareness. The conversation highlights the impact of the program on students' personal growth and leadership skills.

S3 E13 - Welcome back to Whitgift Conversations, the podcast where we talk to staff and pupils about topics that are relevant to you.
Now today’s episode is a little different because we’re recording this during the school summer vacation time. It’s the Whitgift Summer School and we’re honoured to have three students from around the world with us to explain what it’s all about. We also have member of staff John Chisholm with us too which means I get to speak to him and the three students.
The summer school is an opportunity for boys and girls to come from all over the world and they get to interact with other students, also from other places in the world. Our panel of three, Felix, Julius and Koichi, were chosen to be on this recording because they won a presentation that all the students had to give.
I get to find out from them what this presentation was all about, what it’s like coming from their home countries to the UK for this summer school and I ask what their experience is of this great opportunity.
So let’s not waste any more time. Instead, come with me as we find out about the Whitgift Summer School.
