SHSK Sounds
SHSK Sounds comprises a diverse programme of conversation, interviews and special features surrounding school life. Made possible by the generosity of the Parents’ Association, our in-house podcast enables us to reflect the eclectic views, stories and pursuits of life at St Helen and St Katharine.
Features include our ‘Dream Double Bill’ series in which students, staff and special guests are invited to choose their dream pairing of films, our ‘In Conversation’ series which invites special guests to discuss topics of interest, and many more. SHSK Sounds is available on Spotify, Amazon Podcasts and Podbean.

Kathryn Devine on LGBT+ History Month artists
In celebration of LGBT+ History Month, Head of Art Kathryn Devine discusses the work of artists such as Doris Brabham Hatt, Keith Harring, Jean Michael Basquiat and others; artists who have explored their identity and politics in very personal ways and narratives which may not be easily expressed in other forms due to legality or social repression of the times in which they lived.
In Conversation: Thoughts on Sports Nutrition
Some students engaged with school sport and external sport can be doing 10-15 hours of intense physical activity every week, so it's vital they are not only getting the right nutrients to support their bodies, but are eating enough for their energy needs too. Join Mr Wall, Mrs Alpers, and three of our Sixth Form student-athletes as they discuss their top tips and challenges around fuelling for training and sports for young athletes.
