Yesterday Year 9 took part in career activities, listening to guest speakers talk about different parts of studying and career paths. They were visited by Paige Hutchinson and Veronica Hutchinson. Paige is a fellow student, speaking about independent learning and thinking. Veronica works within schools and spoke about career paths and enthusiasm for learning. Veronica is also in the process of setting up a charity herself, which was also very inspiring to hear. These speakers were followed by Mr Grzesiczek who spoke about education turning into a career, as well as Mr Ballard who spoke about his teaching of psychology at A level and as a career after. To finish the day the sixth form Head students gave a talk and activities about working hard, inspiring the students to work as best they can to achieve their goals.
Today Year 9 students have a day of activities from national company "Live-N-Learn" details to follow later today....
