Our Year 12 Aspire academy have been busy over the last few weeks completing lots of exciting activities:
1. Presentations from students- The topics have ranged from 'The real meaning behind your favourite Disney films', to the 'Social impact of the Beatles', to 'Are you more likely to succeed being book-smart or street-smart'?
2. Our Medicine group have been practicing interviewing skills, and have been grilled by the science department.
3. We are building our debating club- which will also include our year 11s(who will be joining us next year in the college)
All of these activities are perfect practice for the world of work or university interviews.
