As part of this year’s PSHCE programme, Year 10 took part in a Vocational Event led by Compact Education & Business Services (CEBS). The aims of the morning as introduced by CEBS Managing Director, Andrew Czolacz, were to gain an understanding of and engage in Enterprise activities, apply these skills to solve problems and relate them to school and employment.
Twenty-four groups of 12 students were assisted in their tasks by their form tutors and activities were facilitated by representatives from local businesses, employers and industries. These volunteers included such diverse individuals as a freelance graphic designer to a social worker, an office administrator to a Royal Marine! The tasks students undertook included word puzzles, a desert survival game and construction of a newspaper lighthouse (with flashing bulb!).
The skills students used in the tasks included:
Problem solving
Creativity
Leadership
Team work
Decision making and
Communication.
Well done to everyone who took part, especially those who received prizes for best team work and best lighthouse!
