To all parents of S4 pupils - the S4 Work Experience – deadline is fast approaching!

Friday 16 September is the last day that we will be accepting forms for pupils who are finding their own work placement for the Work Experience week, 21 – 25 November this year.

Pupils have been busy approaching employers and getting their Self Found Forms completed in plenty time so that all placements can be Health and Safety checked, but time is running out fast!

This is a plea to parents to discuss Work Experience with your S4 children and make plans together.

There is a database of placements that pupils will be allowed to book from in 2 weeks’ time and you can have a look at the placements now that are on offer by going to: www.workit.info  Your child has a unique username and password. (Please note you cannot reserve placements on the database in advance of the booking week.  Bookings will be done in school.)

Please be aware that there are fewer database placements this year reflecting the current economic situation and choice will be severely limited.  If you and your child would like your own choice of placement then I urge you to be looking for places out with the database.  The relevant forms have been on offer in classes since June, but if you need to request a Self Found Placement form then please contact Miss Easson at school (01620) 823387 or via email.

Thanks to all the pupils and parents who have already submitted forms.
