This week we welcome our first group of students from Hampton East School as they visit S4E to check out the programs available. In their first podcast appearance, Asha, Jai, and Zoey share their thoughts on finishing school, their dream travel destinations, favourite gaming characters, and the kind of work environments they see themselves thriving in. We talk about small wins worth celebrating, skills they’d love to learn, and even imagine what it’d be like to switch places with a teacher for a day. A fun mix of aspirations, personal stories, and lighthearted weekend plans.

This episode mixes things up a little bit with Aidan, Jacob and Michael joining forces for an open discussion packed with bold opinions and unexpected insights. From debating whether naps should be a legal right, to questioning if quitting can be a sign of strength, the trio dives into what we pretend to enjoy, how social media shapes us, and whether emotional skills belong in the classroom.
Also on the table: Matrix-style knowledge downloads and if convenience has made us soft. Thoughtful, funny, and at times a little spicy — this one’s full of strong takes and good banter.
