DofE & Apprenticeships – Post 16 Opportunities

10th February 2022Mrs S Field
On National Apprenticeship Week, we thought we would share this blog from the Duke of Edinburgh Award, a programme that we have started to run in school with our Year 10s.
Apart from the challenge, the teamwork, the sense of achievement and all the fun that it delivers to our students, it definitely goes a long way to help in the future with applying to Post 16 courses, apprenticeships and jobs.
DofE on your CV, in your personal statement or profile or mentioned during the interview process makes you stand out from other applicants competing for the same placement….

We are joining in with support for Safer Internet Day today, however, we are always educating our students about online safety.

Online safety is a daily concern for everyone in and out of school and we all have a part to play in protecting ourselves and each other.

Next half term, in addition to staying safe online, our pastoral team will be focusing on gambling awareness.

‘Guo Nian Hao’ – It’s the year of the Tiger! 新年快乐

Happy Chinese New Year! 新年快乐 

2022 is the Year of the Tiger. The tiger is known to be king of all beasts in China and comes third in the Chinese zodiac. The qualities associated with the tiger are competitive, self-confident, brave, willpower and strength.

Students – head over to our Upper School library where Mrs Rudolph with the help of our Pupil Librarians has put up some decorations including posters designed by Berat, each with an interesting fact about the Chinese New Year.

Chinese New Year, also known as the Lunar New Year, is the festival that celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional lunisolar and solar Chinese calendar

Celebrations traditionally last for 16 days, starting from Chinese New Year’s Eve (1st February 2022)  to the Lantern Festival (15th February 2022).

The 12 animals consist of Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.

More specifically, 2022 is a Year of Water Tiger, starting from February 1st, 2022, and lasting until January 21st, 2023.

Recent/upcoming years of the Tiger are 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, and 2022.
