Students at BOA Digital were given a powerful and inspiring message today as Hezron Brown, a reformed gang member turned motivational speaker, entrepreneur, and multi-award winner, visited the academy to share his extraordinary life journey.

Last month, a group of talented students from BOA Digital Technologies had the exciting opportunity to attend the Girls Who Geek event at the Midlands Arts Centre (MAC). This inspiring exploratory day brought together young women and industry professionals for a series of informal discussions and hands-on experiences, all designed to highlight the incredible opportunities for women in the fields of art and technology.

Students from BOA Digital recently took part in the REFRAME: Inspire Schools Project at the Midlands Arts Centre (MAC), an exciting initiative bringing together poetry, visual art, and digital skills to create an online ‘zine’.

To mark World Book Day, we asked teachers at BOA Digital Technologies to share their favourite books and some even explain why they love them. Whether it's a gripping thriller, a timeless classic, or a thought-provoking memoir, each book holds a special place in their hearts. Their selections reflect a wide range of genres, themes, and personal connections, highlighting the power of storytelling to inspire, entertain, and educate.

Reading is not just a pastime; it is a gateway to new perspectives, knowledge, and imagination. Books have the ability to transport us to different worlds, introduce us to unforgettable characters, and challenge our ways of thinking. They can provide comfort, inspire change, and ignite a lifelong love of learning. In a fast-paced digital world, reading remains an essential tool for personal growth and understanding.

Here’s what our teachers had to say about the books that have left a lasting impact on them:

A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who attended our Year 9 Curriculum Evening last night. We hope you found it informative and helpful in guiding your child through their next steps at BOA Digital Technologies.
