St Columba’s Visit to Christ the King
On Thursday the whole of St Columba’s Year 11 took the opportunity to attend a Taster Day with us at CTK St Mary’s. The students seized the day: their enthusiasm, awareness and interest made it a joy to work with them. It is pleasing to note that the students and staff of the school were equally impressed with Christ the King, commenting on the outstanding teaching and knowledge of the staff.
The students got to meet some of the teachers who they would be studying under, whilst undertaking a number of tasks and challenges. This was a very useful day, giving the students a better understanding of the world of post-16, including BTECs and A Level study.
In addition to lessons, and lunch, the St Columba’s students had the opportunity to research university and career options, meet students from all our A level and BTEC programmes to discuss these courses from a student perspective, quiz a panel of students on the wider life of the college and question the College Directors on how we operate.
