Visit of Janet Rapelye, Dean of Admissions at Princeton University

On Tuesday, the Dean of Princeton University, Janet Rapelye and her husband Peter returned to Habs to meet prospective pupils and parents.

Dean Rapelye thoroughly enjoyed her visit in 2015 which led to Habs forging a partnership in teacher developments and The Aske-Princeton fellowship programme.

It was a pleasure to welcome Dean Rapelye back to Habs. She enjoyed seeing her former student, Miss Tucker, our current Aske-Princeton Fellow. Dean Rapelye talked with a large group of sixth form boys over afternoon tea about the nuances of US applications. The boys, all of whom are applying to the US, asked questions about their applications and valued the insight Dean Rapelye and Miss Tucker could provide.

Following afternoon refreshments. Dean Rapelye gave a fascinating presentation to a group of Year 10 and Year 11 boys and their parents. All of these boys have already begun to plan their applications for American Universities. It was an informative and intriguing talk about one of the best universities in the world.

It was wonderful to see Dean Rapelye and her husband again, and we look forward to seeing her back at Habs soon.
