It is lovely to be in the company of young people who actually use silence and who know that in silence you can find all sorts of things that help you cope with the day’s work or to reflect or simply just to be still.
Many students also mentioned related traits that being at Newtown developed in them such as social skills, sociability and “feeling comfortable in my own skin”.
A community of adults and peers who lived, played and worked together embracing our human vulnerabilities and creating a tolerant, inclusionary, optimistic community of people who have a personal connection to the evolution of a better society.
Having a relaxed environment where teacher and student work hand in hand to have an excellent working environment where students can be anybody they want to be without being judged.
Students’ confidence grew yearly and from second-year onwards it was particularly noticeable, indicating a growth in confidence the longer students are in the school.
Everybody lives and works together in a friendly environment where all are equals
I think a Quaker school stands for friendship, working together in a community. It also stands for respect between teachers and students
A Quaker education “stands for a peaceful and close community, where everyone looks out for one another. It accepts you for who you are.”
Undoubtedly Newtown School helped me to grow as a person/character, gave me some great friends for life, prepared me for university and provided a safe, comforting, nurturing environment for my formative years.
