Year 7 have been putting the finishing touches on their phone holders, ready to take home for the holidays.
Continuing with their project looking at theme park food, GCSE students have been making pretzels and cheese sauce.
GCSE students were making fruit flans last week. Starting with a genoise sponge before decorating fruit over a custard filling and setting it in place with a jelly glaze.
Last week was a huge success at the Great Yorkshire show! Year 10 had the amazing opportunity to explore the show, getting hands-on with the interactive agricultural stalls, meeting employees in the different sectors and exploring all things agricultural. Every student who attended gained so much out of the day and every member of staff was impressed with the amazing behaviour and efforts of every year 10 student!
Throughout the year, the careers club has been busy turning £10 into £160 by hosting competitions and bake sales for students and staff. They finished the year each taking home a £10 Amazon voucher and having a pizza party from any profits left over. The twelve of them have shown true entrepreneurship and dedication to their work.
It was a pleasure to welcome your fantastic Year 10 students to our NCC campus for their taster sessions. There was great energy on the day, and it was clear they really enjoyed the experience and got stuck in with the activities. Our college tutors were impressed with their enthusiasm and engagement, and we’ve already received some really positive feedback through the QR code on the flyers they took home. Their behaviour was also excellent – a real credit to Park High.
Our year 10 students had the exciting opportunity to attend the taster afternoon at Nelson and Colne college at the start of July. Each student selected two subjects they were interested in exploring, giving them a taste of what college life could potentially look like for them once they leave school. It was brilliant to see our year 10 students making the most out of the afternoon, getting involved and enjoying the sessions run by the college staff. Well done year 10!
Azz from Myerscough college, Preston, attended our school last week for a lunchtime drop-in session. Every student had the opportunity to speak to Azz at lunchtime. Myerscough college offers a unique range of courses which include agriculture, golf, arboriculture, basketball and much more. It was a great experience for our students as they were able to explore their future options, and it allowed them to open up their minds even more about the potential opportunities after school. It was fantastic to see so many students engaging and asking thoughtful questions. Azz was amazed by how many students wanted to find out more! We would like to thank Azz for attending and providing a positive experience for all of our students!
A huge shout out to our career ambassadors who have been working really hard, staying behind every Thursday to think about ways of promoting careers within school, thinking about competitions and raising money for their club! A couple of weeks ago, they thought of a great idea to raise money. They spoke to members of staff and took pre-orders, stayed behind on the Thursday to bake the old school cakes and delivered them to staff on the Friday! They showed fantastic teamwork skills, organisation and dedication, staying behind to ensure that the cakes were made! Every member of staff who bought a cake thoroughly enjoyed their treat, and they are looking forward to ordering again soon. Well done!
