Dear seniors,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I am writing to give you an update about next steps, as well as some suggestions of ways you can make use of your extra time, if you have access to ICT. I have broken this message down into different sections so you can focus on the parts that apply to you.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
School Leavers<\/u><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you have now left school but\u00a0do not have a secure destination<\/b>\u00a0to go to once colleges, universities or businesses re-open\u00a0you must speak to us<\/b>. If you have not been accepted to college or university or don’t have any employment lined up\u00a0we are here to support you.<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Don’t put it off\u00a0<\/b>or fall into the trap of thinking it will all work out. The current circumstances are unusual, but you should be working hard to\u00a0be as prepared as you can be<\/b>\u00a0for when things return to normal.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So if you have left school and do not have a destination to go to, please let me know via email. You can also speak to Fiona the careers advisor on these details;<\/div>\n

If you are able to<\/b>, you can continue to work on your unit 1 and unit 2 folios. Of course, there will have been disruption to your Leadership Project. As a result you may wish to switch to something that can be achieved under the current circumstances or you could also write about everything that you had planned to do, and then in the “Challenges” section, write about how COVID-19 disrupted your plans and what arrangements you could make when thing return to normal. If you require any support for this please let me or Miss Hamid (gw15hamidshemiala@glow.ea.glasgow.sch.uk) know.<\/div>\n
