Year 12 Futures Week
1 July 2018
Last week, the year 12’s took part in Futures Week. The week was full of opportunities for the Sixth Formers from considering their options for next year, starting university applications, visits to local colleges, and participating in leadership opportunities and mock interviews.
The favorite day of the whole week seemed to be the day of ‘health’. The day started with a trip to the local market to buy ingredients, a self-defence class with Warrior Fitness and it ended with a cooking extravaganza. The students all made ‘easy to cook’ dishes which were judged by a team of four teachers including principal Mr Simon Leese. The overall winner was Aditya Muthurasu’s team which made an Indian inspired dish. (The recipe which Aditya later shared with Mrs Leese!)
Comments from the students were: ‘I really enjoyed the week as I learnt a lot of new things.’ ‘ I found the week really helpful and beneficial whilst still being enjoyable.’ ‘ I’ve never been to the wet market or cooked my own dish before so found it really interesting. I now have more confidence in doing this!’
