In-School Opportunities

School life is more than just the courses that you study - it also includes other activities too!

• Work experience is where you can learn about a job or industry, develop skills, and make contacts. It can be a chance to gain practical experience in a real-world work setting.

• Volunteering involves giving your time and effort to help others. This is a great way to meet new people, learn new skills, and feel a sense of satisfaction. 

• Extra-curricular activities include additional areas of interest, such as clubs linked to hobbies.

• Super-curricular activities greatly enhance any job application or personal statement. These are activities which help you to enhance your knowledge and understanding of your  subjects beyond the curriculum. This could be online courses, professional reading, relevant work experience opportunities or even just keeping up to date with latest news or developments in your field.

When you apply for a course or a job, it is important to make yourself stand out from the crowd. You need to engage yourself in a range of activities - find out more below!
