Regents Review Summer 2024

The Regents Review Summer 2024

GENERAL NEWS Looking Ahead

These events are just a glimpse of the many wonderful opportunities we provide at RPCC. We believe that such enriching experiences are crucial for the holistic development of our students, helping them to build cultural capital, ignite their passions and develop a lifelong love for learning. We look forward to bringing more exciting events and activities to our school community, continuing to inspire and engage our students in new and innovative ways.

Careers We have lots to celebrate this term in the RPCC careers department! Careers Innovative Teaching Week - Go To Work! Departments from across the curriculum, paid particular focus to careers in their lessons. For example: in English we had students writing Saturday job letters, in MFL we had students decoding as language analyst for GCHQ. In maths, students were creating graphs and tables based on maths graduate salaries. What a valuable way for our students to get an insight into the world of work! Y10 Your Future Visit Students got the opportunity to visit the Solent University campus and circulate amongst a huge variety of post-16 Southampton providers. They spoke not only to further education colleges and sixth forms, but also apprenticeship providers, charities and employers, all giving them even more advice and guidance for their futures.
