On Friday Year 9 took part in a Transition/Wellbeing day, involving a carousel of sessions looking ahead to future careers and activities to boost their wellbeing.
The sessions were led by staff from Queen Alexandra College, TyneMet and the Tree of Knowledge, an inspirational training workshop. Here’s some photos of the day!

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.
