Applications to College

Hints and Tips

 

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
