Talbot's House

After visiting for a citizenship session on productivity for the U6th last term, author and speaker Graham Allcott made contact with the house through Mr Gracie. He asked some of the boys to take part in a focus group for the final stages of writing his latest book 'How to be a Knowledge Ninja'. Six of the lads from across the yeargroups read sections of the book and gave feedback, for which Graham acknowledges them in the thanks section of the book by saying 'Your insights, wise counsel and practical advice were a transformative part of the whole process. Thank You.'

The lads gained much from the experience and Graham has sent us a couple of signed copies of the book to support the learning of the lads at school which are obviously now in the hosue book swap! It is a fantastically helpful book for young and old alike trying to improve study and learning skills. We think it will be immensely helpful for lads in the house in coming years.

The official launch of the book was last week and was broadcast live on youtube. You can watch it back here...
