Regents Review Winter '18

The Regents Review Winter 2018

GENERAL NEWS Careers Festival

The annual Regents Park Community College Careers Festival was a great success again this year! All students took part in a bespoke timetable of workshops and events including some regular attractions such as the Dragon’s Den competition, Post-16 Careers Fair and college taster sessions for Year 10 and 11. Year 9 also took part in an exciting Employer Speed Dating workshop, whereby small groups of them asked quick-fire questions to an individual to find out about their career, before moving onto the next person. They had the opportunity to speak with doctors, police officers, construction managers, early years practitioners and many more. We hope that our continued focus on CEIAG (Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance) will enable all of our students to pursue their passions when they leave Regents Park in Year 11. Quote from the Teaching & Learning Student Voice group: “We love, love, loved Dragon’s Den!”
