Yesterday, Year 11 got a taste of their future options, sampling life at Ryburn Sixth. Students had chance to try out A-level lessons including dissecting fish heads, and practiced teamwork and problem solving with Commando Joe. We also held a future jobs fair where students could meet local employers and find out about apprenticeship opportunities.
Feedback from the students was very positive (apart from the odd one upset because we wouldn't let them out to the chippy!). They found it useful and enjoyed the experience and all the different subjects on offer.
““Changed my view of Ryburn Sixth and made me realise my relationship with teachers.””
We hope everyone left feeling energised and excited about the future, and with clearer ideas about the choices they want to make.
Thank you so much to all of the staff involved and the people who came in to support the day, including ASK, the Royal Air Force, Calderdale College, Askham Bryan College, Kirklees College, West Yorkshire Police, LLS Sports, Rosehill Polymers, Covea Insurance plc, Lloyds Banking Group, Royal Navy, GP Training, NCS - National Citizen Service, White Rose School of Health & Beauty Huddersfield, Woodspeen Training, Commando Joe's and Phil Pearce of Life Experience.
““I enjoyed the day because I learnt all about A-level courses, and the teachers were amazing!””
