Another week has passed and the building continues to develop. I have been informed that the internal partition walls are going up which will mean the structure of the rooms is more visible. I have been promised another tour within the next 2 weeks so that I can make the next video update of the progess.
We have even begun to discuss the colour of the walls and the use of the entrance foyer, cafeteria and study area for A Level Art displays. Combined with the use of the LCD screen we should have a multi-media ever-evolving & changing display space. Discussions have also begun on the size of the foundation stone to be laid, its inscription and also the beginning of plans for the opening. Students will be involved in these decisions and I have some plans for commerative goods to mark the occasion - more details of this to follow.
Applications are continuing to arrive in waves and have come from internal students as well as applicants from outside - 1 student has even applied from Liverpool! Former students who left 12 months ago have also applied as they wish to return to the school for greater success in Year 12 here. I have even begun to draft out my welcoming speech.
The date for interviews will be WEDNESDAY 9th FEBRUARY 2011 and students will be receiving individual, written confirmation of the time and venue for this. Students are being asked to bring their revision timetable as they will be asked to explore their intentions in gaining or exceeding their current predicted grades.
As ever, if any student wishes to discuss the interview beforehand , they are very welcome to contact me directly at the school - cmal6047@cooper.ocnmail.net
I recieved my 6th form interview letter last week, but at unsure what it means by revision timetable, as none of us know what dates our exams are for May/June. Also do we need to have a CV and personal statement for then as well? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIn order for us to assess the likelihood of students achieving their predicted grades, one aspect of the interview will be to explore study skills and independent learning. I fully appreciate that you do not have your exam timetable yet, but we are interested in how you are preparing for the forthcoming GCSE's.
ReplyDeleteIt is not essential to bring a CV /Personal statement but it is good practise to have these as they will be essential in future life. Again, the interview will explore your strengths and future plans so that we can ensure you are applying for the most appropriate courses.
I hope that clarifies your questions - come and see me if you want more advice / guidance.
Where are we supposed to go for our interviews?
ReplyDeleteAll interviews will be held in the relevant office - students from outside of The Cooper School will need to go to reception and they will be directed to the relevant place.
