Year 13 Prizegiving and
Prom at GSAL

On Saturday 1 July Mr Coluccio and I attended an event marking the next stage in the lives of 3 former MSM students. It was fantastic to meet up with Iptisan Abdulmalik, Avital Anoff and Jevic Juma. All three have flourished in GSAL with Jevic being appointed as Head Boy and Avital securing The Currar Briggs University Scholarship. We wish them all well as they continue their journey which started here at Mount St Mary’s.

Apprenticeship Workshop

We had over 30 Year 11 students attend an apprenticeship workshop where they learnt about how to apply and search for apprenticeships. Many students were interested in degree apprenticeships. We will be doing follow up sessions for any students who need support applying and interview practice.

As part of Year 10s work experience this year staff organised a practical, in-depth two week programme aimed at providing students with the opportunity to gain experience in their career of interest. The first week saw students partaking in sessions based around experience in the workplace, practical experience in a career sector of their choice, cv writing, confidence and teamwork building and A level taster sessions. In the second week students focused on further and higher education and took part in sessions based around student well-being, student finance, personal statement writing and student ambassador Q and A.

The aim of this programme was to prepare students for the world of work and also for their post 16 options. Students had the opportunity to gain hands on experience in an industry they are interested in working in, whilst at the same time getting to find out more about their college and university options. Students were supported throughout by school staff, college and university staff and employers to ensure progression and to inform decision making. This was a true collaborative event with support from Leeds Trinity University, Leeds United Foundation, Temple Moor High School, IntoUniversity, NHS, West Yorkshire Police, and the iCan Academy.

Last week we had a representative from Leeds City College hold an assembly for our Year 11 students. The students were introduced to the various campuses and courses that Leeds City College have available and were also shown impressive video tours around their facilities. The representative explained that it is mainly vocational courses which they offer, however, they also have apprenticeships and a sixth form for A Level applicants. The students were impressed to hear that the college has a Student Union where they can go for support and to get involved with clubs and extra-curricular activities.
