Over the past three weeks, our Year 10 students have been taking part in their Experience of the Workplace activity. Several employers came into school to set the students a real-life project from their workplace. Students were then given the time to research the project, create a presentation, which involved working to the employers’ briefs, and then present their findings back to both their employer and their classmates.
Miss Watts, Careers Lead said “It was an absolute pleasure to see so many amazing presentations. It was clear that the students had fully immersed themselves in the task set and produced coherent, logical and well thought out presentations. Some of our employers are so impressed with our students’ outputs that they are planning on using them in their own workplaces (crediting the students of course). We are so proud of our students!”
The NHS are planning on taking the leaflets and posters created, and mass producing them for the wards at York District Hospital. One colleague commented “I just wanted to tell you what an absolute privilege it was to oversee the presentation lesson completed with the NHS representatives this morning. The presentations were all amazing and I was so impressed by the way every single student contributed and the ideas they came up with. I was incredibly proud of them.”
Marta from Robertson Construction commented “It was a pleasure to be involved, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The students were fantastic throughout the day, and in my feedback highlights how well they engaged with the tasks and activities. They should all be really proud of the effort and enthusiasm they put in – they did an excellent job.”
Thank you to all our employers who have been amazing. We are so grateful for the support of: Robertson Construction, Aureos, Indigo Greens, NYBEP, NHS, York College and GMI Construction.
