Taste Your Future
The first Lower Academy 'Taste Your Future' session took place on Saturday 13th January.
Year 9 students arrived full of enthusiasm to immerse themselves in the sessions that they chose in order to gain an insight into what their future aspirations may amount to.
Students took part in sessions focused on PT Training, Hairdressing, Cooking and Career Guidance. It was fantastic to see our students reflect on their individual strengths, capabilities, interests and discuss careers that suit their aptitude and abilities. We will continue to foster academic enthusiasm and soft skills to ensure our students make informed decisions during the options process. Our students are very much looking forward to subsequent sessions!
