Bellemoor School | Southampton

Dear Tim and Steve

I would like to express my gratitude for the support and invaluable advice given to me during my time at Bellemoor School. It was a truly rewarding experience. You both catered perfectly to my needs at the school and guided me through what proved to be a thoroughly enjoyable course. One thing I came to appreciate during my time at Bellemoor was the hectic schedule that teachers are under. This makes me appreciate, even more, the time both of you have taken to organize my visits and help me with my project.

The experience gave me an insight into teaching and that in itself is very useful. I would like to thank the all the staff at the school for making me feel very welcome. I am especially grateful to the Principal, Cassie Ellins for encouraging the school in being involved in schemes such as UAS as I do feel that they encourage undergraduates to be involved in education and provide pupils with an example of where they could be if they chose to pursue higher education. I very much enjoyed chatting with the students and would like to especially thank Year 7 A3 for showing interest in the lesson prepared on life in the deep sea. Their enthusiasm was very refreshing and was definitely the highlight of my time at Bellemoor.

Overall I am glad I chose to take part in the Undergraduate Ambassador Scheme and hope I was able to interest the pupils at Bellemoor in the marine sciences.

Thanks again,

Wishanth Gooneratne
