Weekly Reflections: Lifting others as we climb
At Royal High, student leadership isn't about popularity or titles. It’s not about being the loudest voice, but the voice that makes space for others. It’s about being present when it matters, taking initiative when others step back, and choosing to uplift rather than outshine.

Kaat Van Assche, Royal High School Bath Class of 2018, is currently in her 3rd year of a PhD at the Robot Assisted Surgery (RAS) lab at KU Leuven in Belgium. "RHSB empowered me to think big, set high goals, and realise I was more capable than I had imagined.

Weekly Reflections: The Magic of Serendipity
As we begin a new term, I wanted to share a thought that’s been on my mind—something that may resonate with many of us navigating a world so often filtered through screens. Over the holidays, I read a thought-provoking book titled The Extinction of Experience by historian Christine Rosen. The book explores how our increasing reliance on technology—particularly social media—is quietly reshaping the way we live, connect, and experience the world. It struck a chord.
