Germany Exchange 2011

05 July 2011

The 13 Barntrup students who hosted Wyke College students in April, came as guests to enjoy a sunny week in Hull at the end of June. Together with their partners they enjoyed the scenic delights of Beverley, York and Whitby as well as Hull and the Humber Bridge. As well as sightseeing they enjoyed lunch in a church and three different evening barbecues, one with a Hawaiian theme.

They thoroughly enjoyed their stay, really appreciated sampling British family life and are all keen to come again. Some German students have already made plans to return for the 2012 Olympic Games and some Hull students are planning to return to Germany during the summer holidays.

20 May 2011

Rob Aramayo, a second year A level Drama student at Wyke has successfully auditioned for one of only 18 places at the prestigious Juilliard School in New York.

The audition process is intensive; from the original 4,000 applicants only half are given the opportunity to audition. Rob visited during December 2010 and his initial audition took place in January in New York. His last call back was in March when, having spent days being assessed, from the original group of over 2,000 who auditioned, he became one of the successful final 18 students who will enrol in September. Previous Juilliard students include Kevin Spacey and Robin Williams.
