Today our Year 12 students were inspired by a powerful presentation from Mr. Goel, who spoke about a charity he works closely with.
The Das Charitable Foundation launched PARI in 2012 - its flagship initiative dedicated to combating gender-based violence and supporting survivors.
PARI champions gender sensitivity, equality, and inclusion, creating safe spaces where every voice is heard. Their work transforms lives, breaks down systemic barriers, and drives us toward a more just and equitable society.
A huge thank you to Mr. Goel for sharing this important message and motivating our students to be advocates for change.

Year 9 also joined Future Hope for a workshop focused on drugs and alcohol awareness, giving them the knowledge to make positive decisions.

C'est magnifique! 📓
YEAR ELEVEN MOCK INTERVIEW DAY - FRIDAY 21ST NOVEMBER 2025
Mock Interview Day is one of the most important days in the Chauncy calendar, as our Year Eleven students have been busy preparing themselves over the half-term, learning about the job application process, creating their own CVs and letters of application and exploring interview tips and techniques that will help them secure their dream careers.
On Friday, they met a team of local professionals who volunteered to provide a formal interview and feedback afterwards on how they could improve their interview technique. Many thanks to the 43 interviewers who gave up their time to help our students on Friday.
Well done to all the Year Eleven students who prepared well and gave an excellent impression of themselves. I would also like to thank the Chauncy staff who planned and coordinated this essential and highly successful event. Well done!
