Get involved
Students must be formally registered by their School's Head of Year who liaises with the SHINE at ASL liaison at their school.

From St. John's Wood tube station on the Jubilee Line, cross Finchley Road. Continue west one block along Grove End Road to Waverley Place. Turn right; the entrance to the School is 35 meters ahead on the left.
Checking In
When you arrive on campus, check in with Security, who will direct you to the location for SHINE. Parents and family members are welcome to wait at the school entrance.
Timing
We ask that every participant arrive at 9:30 am for each session, and ensure that they are able to remain at SHINE until 12:30 pm. If you must arrive late or leave early one day, you must arrange this beforehand with Andrew or Rita.
Our Shine Co-ordinators
Rita Bediako was born in Accra, Ghana and has lived in London for more than 30 years. Rita has worked at ASL for 18 years and says "the SHINE program is the best part of the week. I love getting to know the ASL students and the student participants from other schools. I learn so much from each of them and enjoy their spirit of fun and learning."
Andrew McAllister was born in the United States, and has lived in the Dominican Republic and The DR Congo. He says "I moved to London 4 years ago with my partner and two children, who are 6 & 4 years old. I love SHINE because it allows me to meet students from schools all over London, and I get to participate in the sessions and learn new things myself!"
