CAREERS

There is a school-wide Careers plan for every student. This is to ensure that students think about their future career as the competition for jobs is becoming more intense.

Third Formers are given an introduction to the Careers Library and start a personal C.V. profile.

Fourth Formers will be given the opportunity to attend a taster course at a tertiary institution, and will update their profile. Fifth Formers will attend a Career Focus day. Sixth Formers may attend the Lampen Workchoice Day and will attend a personal development, career and subject choice programme. Each Seventh Former will be expected to prepare a curriculum vitae and be given personal career counselling.

Every school leaver has the opportunity of one-to-one career counselling, to help them in making positive choices about their post-school career/s.

The Careers Advisor, Mrs K Ranchod, is available for careers counselling and to supply information relating to future careers and training courses.

The Senior Dean, Mrs B Atkinson, is also available for specialist help with university information. Ms N Hannan can assist with College of Education applications.

 

A Careers/Library/Information Centre is located on the mezzanine floor of the school library where students can go at lunchtime or library times to discuss careers, use the Careers Service Database and locate and read information.

 

Education Outside The Classroom

One course a year goes to the Outdoor Pursuits Centre at National Park.

Most subjects, and especially Social Studies, History, Geography, Science and Biology, have extensive practical components, frequently involving field work in the local community or even further afield.
