LATIN? REALLY?
When Chantal Wong (Class of 2015) came from
Hong Kong to Sevenoaks in Year 9, Latin was
not on her wish list.
She was obliged to join our Year 9 beginners’
course though. And at its end, low and behold,
her selected GCSEs included Latin.
No one was more surprised than Chantal.
With a Latin GCSE in the bag, you’d think
she might have had enough. But she pursued it
throughout the Lower and Upper Sixth.
And what do you think she did next?
A Classics degree at Cambridge, of course.
