YEAR 8 HUMAN LIBRARY EVENT - 24 MAY 23

By Mrs Dale

At the end of May we invited a wide range of employers into school to be ‘human library books’ to talk to Year 8s about their own career area. These included Business, Construction, Engineering, Healthcare, Hospitality, Law, Media, RAF, Science, Social Care, Sport and Teaching.

Using both gyms on South, students rotated around the room to learn from and question the employers – a bit like speed-dating. In the space of one hour students learnt a little about a variety of careers.

Year 8 were beautifully behaved, polite and respectful, and full of interesting questions.

Grateful thanks to our Human Library Books:
