Student Council organised a VIP day yesterday, asking parents to come in and talk about the jobs that they do. We had a vast array of parents and the quality of what they presented about their careers was excellent! Amongst others we had an anaesthetist, cardiologist, a number of solicitors and barristers, actors, advertisers to name a few!
I was lucky enough to be involved as the Honorable Judge Habgood in a simulation of a court case (which I won’t reveal too much of) in which Form 3 and then Form 6 pupils had to act as jury; an excellent opportunity for our pupils to understand the Rule of Law and how a trial takes place in British courts.
What a fabulous day for all of the children to experience the world of exciting careers - thank you to all our parents who volunteered to be VIPs for the day - we hope you enjoyed your experience too, and we look forward to hearing more from Student Council about the event in our next newsletter.
