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!

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.

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! 

Some of our year 10 students had the opportunity to attend the ‘MEGA’ day at Nelson and Colne College. The day began with a talk by a member of the ‘National Cyber Force’. Throughout the day, they took part in numerous interactive tasks and activities which were designed to challenge their computer science skills and critical thinking! The National Cyber Force shared valuable information linking to careers within the North West relating to cybersecurity, and they informed our students about how this is growing every year. This day allowed students to start thinking about the potential opportunities which they could access in the future. A brilliant day was had by all! Well done to the year 10’s who attended!

Recently, 15 year 9 students attended the ‘Extraordinary minds’ event at Nelson and Colne college. The day focused on diversity and making a difference. Our students took part in impactful sessions led by A-level teachers from the college. This day allowed our students to think deeply about how they can make a difference and also what needs to change to allow this. In one of the sessions, they looked at the North/South divide and explored stereotypical views which encouraged students to challenge opinions too.  Nelson and Colne college staff were incredibly impressed by the maturity of our students and also their creative minds!
