A win for Amali

Last week Amali (Upper Sixth) was invited as one of six finalists of the St Mary’s University Theology Essay Competition in London. She met Bishop John Sherrington who awarded her first place and a £250 prize, a fantastic achievement, well done. Amali’s essay examined what distinguishes a cult from a small religion and she presented her findings to the Sixth Form Society last week where she gave a fascinating talk explaining her research and conclusions. Amali was also invited to a reception in Oxford at the weekend, as she was shortlisted in the global John Locke essay competition for her theology essay entry. She enjoyed life as a student in Oxford, attending lectures and a reception in the Ashmolean Museum.
