COLLEGE PRAYER SPECIALISM SUCCESS
Students of the newly branded Career Ready Programme (formally known as CAUK) visited London on 10 December 2015 for their formal induction ceremony at The Dominion Theatre. Motivational speaker 'Action Jackson' presented an 'action' packed programme which saw the students, who were in their hundreds, up and down out of their seats, networking and generally enjoying the thrill of his unique presentation style. He delivered the first masterclass of the day and was joined by Anne Spackman, former Editor-in-Chief at The Times, who now heads up Career Ready in Canary Wharf. Also on stage was a former student of The CAUK Programme who told of his fantastic career journey further to graduating from CAUK several years ago. From the Dominion Theatre, students moved on to Fleet Street to be hosted by Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, the prestigious law firm who have offices in over 20 countries, and most recently set up a new office base in Manchester. They provided lunch and delivered the second masterclass of the day. Students were then treated to a tour of their offices before leaving for a sightseeing tour of The Thames at night with amazing views from the bridge back to St Paul's one way and Westminster the other. All in all a fantastic induction to a year that will make students 'career ready' with further masterclasses, industry visits, a business mentor and a paid internship.

PARENTS AS PARTNERS:BEING EQUIPPED
Why not use the Christmas break to make sure your children are fully equipped to come back to College with pen, pencil and ruler as a minimum? A calculator, an angle-measurer and other geometry items are also useful, as well as a pencil sharpener and eraser. Coloured pencils are also a real bonus. It could be a ‘stocking filler’ for Christmas Day, and coupled with a nice pencil case, it is a gift that we are sure any young person would appreciate. SCHOOL UNIFORM
