Message from Miss Butcher regarding Yr 10 work experience

Year 10 Work Experience

Hi all,

Thank you to the Year 10 students who have already secured their work experience placement. Da iawn - I am very impressed :)

The dates for your work experience are 7th July 2014 - 11th July 2014.

Just a reminder to all Year 10 students that you should find your own work experience placement and provide me with a letter or an email to say that the employer has accepted you.

It is important to find your own placement, because you will be able to go where you want for your work experience.

If you have not found your own placement, you will be choosing your Wish List on Wednesday 4th December. You will be able to choose three placements using the Careers Wales database. It is not guaranteed that you will be accepted on the three choices, which is why it is much better to be proactive and find your own placement.

I will not be able to call companies for every student as there are around 180 students in Year 10 - you will need to call the company yourself or send the letters you have written during your PSE lessons to the employers. However, if the company request a callback from the school then I am happy to do this.

There are lots of ideas for work experience placements - schools, nurseries, vets, accountants, ICT companies, hair dressers, beauty salons, garages, retail and many more.

Any questions - please email me at kb@newporthigh.co.uk

The deadline for all Year 10 students to find their own placement is Friday 20th December.

Thanks,

Miss Butcher

Christmas Quiz

As we all know, the Autumn Term ends with a Christmas quiz. What categories would you like to see in the quiz? Would you want to represent your house in the quiz?

Discuss categories, what kind of questions etc, within form time, and ask your form tutors to email me, and I will make sure your suggestions are given to the 6th Form who are organising the event.

Welcome back!

Welcome back to the second half term of the year!

These are the marks so far for the house cup.

98	Branwen
92	Olwen
49	Pryderi
76	Taliesin

Second is ok, but we really need to be pushing for merits and EMA's thoughout this term, leading to the Christmas Quiz at the end of the term.

As competitions are started, members of the 6th form will come around to get participants, as this is where we have really excelled over previous years!
