Festive Feast for Marmite Students

Posted: 05/12/2016

Marmite students met up for the final festive Movie and Pizza Evening of 2016 on Friday, 2nd December. Complemented by obligatory Christmas garb (plus a very merry dog and skeleton), Captain America: Civil War proved a great source of discussion.

Throughout the term, as VIth Formers studied ‘Nature and Culture’, and IVth and Vth Formers pondered ‘What Remains?’, questions arose about the function of private individuals and entrepreneurs in providing or even making obsolete the role of the state. Figures like Trump, Musk, Zuckerberg and Gates have loomed large. In the conflict between Avengers – one side effective but unchecked, one compromised for the greater good, students saw a highly entertaining version of their own political world.

Marmite UVIth, preparing for Oxbridge interviews, were tasked to ‘Say Something’ – when given the flimsiest of prompts. Rarely a problem when Stan Lee provides the material… Excelsior in 2017!
