Following is a short list of hints and tips that I hope will ensure your college applications are made on time and effectively.
Be clear about the vocational area you want to explore.
If you are undecided or unclear please talk with your family, your teachers and make an appointment to speak to Mr Ritchie, your Careers Adviser in school.
Visit them as soon as you can even if the Open Day has passed.
Make an application by Christmas 2013. All application forms are on line but the school also has some paper prospectuses with application forms with in them.
Top Tip. Make a copy and complete it in rough off line first of all
Prepare your evidence and attend your interview. Talk to David Ritchie if you want some support with interview technique, he will help you prepare. Be confident!
This may be your Plan A or your Plan B but once it is made it is made and you can focus on achieving the best exam results you can.
If you want to discuss college courses, the 6th form or about apprenticeships please contact Mr Ritchie. His email is: dritchie@joa.herts.sch.uk or arrange an appointment through your From Tutor.
Parents. If you too want to discuss college courses, the 6th form or about apprenticeships please contact Mr Ritchie. His email is: dritchie@joa.herts.sch.uk
