Developing the Young Workforce

We are very excited for the next three days in school when we will be taking part in workshops linked to Developing the Young Workforce.

A massive thanks in advance to all the parents who are coming in to work with our classes tomorrow.

Keep your eyes peeled on the blog for what we are getting up to.

Up-cycling Update

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated old polo shirts to Miss Caldow.  We almost have enough but to give the children a better experience during their workshops we would benefit from around 10 more.  If you have any that are old or do not fit your child anymore could you please send them in.  Their condition doesn’t matter as we will alter them anyway.

Thank you!

As part of ‘Developing the Young Workforce’ week from the 4th-6th March, Miss Caldow is looking for old school polo shirts that can be up-cycled.  These will be cut up and altered so please only send old items that you are finished with.  They can be any size and we will also accept plain white t-shirts.  Please send anything you have in with your child to pass to Miss Caldow.

DEVELOPING THE YOUNG WORKFORCE

DEVELOPING THE YOUNG WORKFORCE

We are pleased to launching a Developing the Young Workforce week at Gargieston this year and we are looking for help from our parents/carers.

On Wednesday 4th March, we are looking for parents to come in to speak to our classes about their job – we are looking for as wide a range of job roles as possible.

  • Hairdresser
  • Firefighter
  • Retail
  • Gardener / Outdoor worker
  • Plumber / joiner
  • Nurse
  • Journalist

Within this talk we would be looking for the children to find out about:

  • Your job role
  • How you got into your job (Did you need specific qualifications?)
  • The types of things your job entails
  • Any practical elements you could share with the children.

We would be looking for parents who are able to join us on Wednesday 4th March between 9am – 12.30pm. The plan would be that each parent would work with 4 classes within each base.

Please complete the form below if you would be able to help us and advise what stage you think you would be best suited to. We ask that if you would be able to assist us that you let us know before Thursday 6th February.
