Woodrush Star June 2013 | Page 11

Now that the academic year is coming to a close, many of our Year 12 Sixth Formers are beginning to think about their plans for life after the Sixth Form. On Wednesday 26th June, a series of presentations and workshops took place in the Sixth Form Centre covering things like University applications, Higher Apprenticeships, Employability and Gap Year Options. Over the course of the day, students were presented with a range of possible pathways for when they leave us in the Sixth Form. Also, each student was given a Personal Action Plan so that we can track and support their research into University applications (etc) and other post-Sixth Form options. This process will ensure that our students make an informed decision about their futures and feel fully supported over the course of the next year with their various applications. It is very important to us that every single Sixth Form student is given quality information and guidance. The workshops and presentations that have taken place recently are just part of the extensive support package we offer to our Sixth Formers; a package that is designed to instil confidence in them regarding the important decisions that lie ahead over the next few months. SIXTH FORM Information and Guidance Workshops The Class of 2013: Goodbye and Good Luck to our Year 13 Students On May 24th, our Year 13’s said a fond, and in some students’ cases, a tearful farewell to the Sixth Form, as they began their study leave in preparation for sitting their final exams. Over the course of the day we celebrated the time that these students have spent with us. This included reflections on their seven years with us, but it also involved looking forward to what lies ahead for our Sixth Formers as many of them embark upon the next exciting stage in their lives. Our Year 13 students have now all completed their final examinations and wait with eager anticipation for their final results on August 15th. Please look out for information on our Year 13’s successes in the next ed ition of the ‘Woodrush Star’. We wish all of our Year 13’s every success for the future and we look forward to seeing them all again at the Sixth Form end of year celebration on July 19th. 11
