S3 Information Evening
Dear Parent/Carer
S3 Information Evening, Thursday 15th November 2018, 7.00pm – 9.00pm
An Information Evening for the parents of Third Year students will take place on the evening of Thursday 15th November at 7.00 p.m. here in the school.
The evening will begin with a brief presentation in the Forum on how well the pupils have continued to build on the excellent progress they have made. It will also include an overview on pathways of progression throughout Third Year with a particular focus on maximising opportunities.
Thereafter parents will be invited to attend literacy, numeracy and Health & Well-being workshops. This follows on from our evening in November last year which focused on the options chosen at the end of First Year.
The literacy workshop will cover skills development, course content, advice on close reading, literature and reading skills. This workshop will be delivered by the English department.
The numeracy workshop will cover skills development, preparation for assessment and progression pathways in maths. This workshop will be delivered by the Mathematics department.
The Health & Wellbeing workshop will cover study skills, advice on planning and managing school work, healthy and balanced approaches to school and out of school activities and support available for pupils and parents. This workshop will be delivered by Pastoral care teachers.
Each workshop will last approximately 15-20minutes and will include Fourth Year pupils who will offer their own perspective of their Third Year experience.
I am confident that you will find the evening of benefit at this important point in your son/daughters education.
The evening includes refreshments in the street area as well as an opportunity to attend Eucharistic adoration in our Oratory.
I look forward to seeing you and your son/daughter on the evening.
Yours sincerely
A Creighton
Depute Head Teacher
