iGazette - 1st October 2020

WELCOME TO OCTOBER 2020 EDITION OF IGAZETTE

POST 16 OPTIONS AND APPLICATION PROCESS

We are now working on an individual basis with C11 to prepare them for the post-16 applicaton process. This involves learners making decisions about where they would like to study or train for (at least) the next two years. During this process we also discuss Higher Education (University) and encourage learners to begin to investigate courses connected to their career goals.

From C9, learners have received information about the choices they have to make this year and an essential part of this decision making process is to have a Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) interview this term; these started earlier this week and will continue until the end of November.

More information and important deadline dates can be found in this month's iGazette.

Exam checklist for students

Before each exam, be sure to check:

The date, time and location of the exam (particularly if it’s in the morning or afternoon)

The equipment you need for the exam (pencils, black pens, ruler, calculator, maths set etc). Remember to bring it with you.

If you are allowed to bring a calculator into the exam, check that: it is an approved model the batteries are working anything stored on it is cleared parts such as cases, lids or covers are removed

If you have a case for your equipment (i.e. pens, pencils etc), it is transparent

There is no label on any drinks bottle you intend to bring in

Your mobile phone and any web-enabled devices are switched off and stored in line with advice from your Exams Officer

Getting ready for exams can bring out many emotions, ranging from excitement to apprehension, and elation to exhaustion. However you feel, these top tips will help you to approach the exams in a positive manner. Go to the full edition of this month's iGazette for top tips.
