This week, Chapter 9, Chapter 11 and Chapter 12 participated in a Careers’ Fair which enabled pupils and students to gather information about a vast array of possible career opportunities. Represented at the fair were the NHS, police, armed forces, optometry, civil service, programming, fire service, construction, architecture, law, dentistry, finance, child care, environmental sciences, accountancy, teaching, game development, engineers, politicans and musicians. Multiple Educational Providers were also welcomed to the event, allowing pupils and students to learn about the immense range of courses and opportunities on offer. Represented at the event were National Apprenticeships, LIPA, UTC, The Studio, Hope University, Rocket Training, Myerscough College, St Helens College, City Of Liverpool, Hugh Baird and Liverpool University. Organised by Mrs Doran and Mrs Drew, the event was organised as a round robin, with groups being given an opportunity to talk with each represented profession. Students’ reviews of the event indicated they were able to gain a better understanding of what each profession entails and the qualifications required.
Our sincere thanks to all volunteers who braved the snow to give up their valuable time to attend the event.

On Monday to Wednesday this week, the DT Dept were hosting students and staff from a Dutch school in Rotterdam. This has been part of a joint venture that has been running for the last 12 months. We have been working collaboratively in cross country teams to develop a product for a global client, Arcadis. It has been, and continues to be, a fantastic opportunity for our Chapter 12 students, and there will be a reciprocal visit in May to the Netherlands.
It has been an extremely successful trip and we have all benefitted from it. There have been so many highlights, but in addition to the visits made and joint design challenge, it has been particularly encouraging to witness a number of our quieter, less confident students, developing and engaging in feedback, conversations and during the meal in the city centre on Tuesday. A HUGE congratulations to all of the Ch12 DT students for their participation, willingness to 'get stuck in', friendliness, time and genuine care for our visitors. They were a real credit to our school. Congratulations!
Mr Cartwright (Head of TES Faculty)
