Marden students have been working with TICE (This is Creative Enterprise) once again this year, and some of the work that our current Year 9s have produced has been absolutely stunning. Check out some of the links and videos below.
“I feel that I have achieved finding a whole new world that I could take on once I’m older within fashion as I did not know there were so many possible courses and jobs!” – Hajar, Year 9.
South Shields Marine School’s Maritime Careers day is this Saturday 7th May between 10am and 2pm.
This event gives young people expert advice on careers at sea, and the merchant navy. This event is the perfect way to find out how to get started in the maritime industry including our school leaver’s pre-cadet programme in navigation and engineering, or sponsorship with a leading shipping company.
There will be expert teaching staff onsite, as well as shipping companies looking to recruit.
Young people and their parents can sign up for this event by following THIS LINK.
Year 9 students are currently working on a unit of work called ‘App Development’ where they are working through the app development process, including research and analysis, identifying frustrations or ‘pain points’ and producing wireframes/prototypes.
On Tuesday, they took part in a lecture from Mark Wardle, Head of Development at GlobalBridge GlobalBridge, who came in to meet approximately 60 students and gave them an insight into what Application Development is and what it’s like to work in the industry.
On Friday, Year 9 took part in a Careers Speed Dating event, one of the busiest we have had. It was great to see so many companies come in and talk to the students.
