Social Placement Week is an opportunity for our TY students to get involved in the local community. We encourage students to source placement in local clubs, charity shops, child care, Local Tidy Towns or community activities.

This is a fantastic opportunity for our students to develop social awareness and give back to the local community from which they have received so much during their childhood.

TY Work Experience Week two takes place this week for those that missed it due to being involved in the TY Musical.

All social placement and work experience should be sourced by students and the relevant reflective report needs to be filled out in the student Journal daily and upon completion.

TY Portfolio and TY Journals need to be completed and submitted to the TY coordinator Mr Uhl no later than this date.

Failure to submit these will result in you not completing the TY programme and therefore you will not be certified.
