All,
Staff are presently recording your mock results, and we will be looking to get reports to you in early February. This week I want you to focus on two matters.
1. Work – We do not want panic, but you really should be racking up the hours now. Hard work now will reduce stress and tears later. You need to know that you only have about eleven school weeks until study leave. Make sure that any coursework is above your target grade, and please ensure that you are doing on average at least three hours a night outside the classroom. Revision sessions will be starting soon in many subjects. Take advantage on them.
2. Careers. There is a formal assembly on Monday – 1.20 in the Main Hall (this will be the last one of this half term). We have a guest speaker, who has come to talk to us about what to do right (and what to avoid) in an interview. All of you will have interviews in the next few years, so I hope that this will prove helpful. Also, in the evening on Thursday 30th there is a huge Careers Fair in the Main Hall. It really is extraordinary what Mrs Wooller has organised. For some of you this could be life changing. Please do have a look at the list of exhibitors in the post below this one. Finally on Careers, a bit of advanced warning. If you want to know more about applying to Cambridge, then we have the schools liason officer from King’s College speaking in the Main Hall from 4.00 on Wednesday 5th February. She is happy to take questions afterwards. All welcome – please let your parents know as well.
One last matter. Monday is Holocaust Memorial Day. As such, I thought that the posted poem might be appropriate.
Have a good week.
Mr Kydd.
All,
