“Step Into The National Health Service”

“Step Into The National Health Service”

National Competition 2013

Year 8 have been given the opportunity to enter the above national competition. The competition allows students to explore careers in the NHS but more importantly teaches them how to research independently and to extract the key information that will be used in their presentations. These key independent learning skills will stand them in good stead as they research GCSE Options in year 9 and further education and employment choices in the future. The competition is open now and closes on December 20th 2013. By 20th December copies of the students presentation materials must be with Mr Ritchie. He will send them off to the NHS in early January 2014. Mr Ritchie is acting as the students mentor for the duration of the competition
