DESTINATIONS DAY 2015
On Wednesday 4th March 2015, Year 10 pupils were taken off timetable to attend “taster” sessions in a variety of careers such as Forensic Science, Hair & Beauty, Hospitality, Art & Design & Engineering. Outside speakers were invited into school to give advice and the opportunity for pupils to ask questions. Pupils chose the sessions they wanted to attend beforehand and also attended a compulsory “Speed Dating” session or CV Writing session. The Speed Dating provided the information on how to enter different careers, and had representatives from Sixth Form, College, University, Apprenticeship providers & Work-Based Training providers.
The feedback from the pupils has been very positive and they really enjoyed the day. One pupil summed up the day as follows:
“I liked the Art and Design and the Forensic Science sessions because they were interesting and showed me how to get into those particular career paths. I thought the whole day was interesting because it showed me different job options rather than the obvious ones”.
We are grateful to all the employers and outside speakers for giving their time to come into school to speak to our pupils.
