Dear Parents/Carers, This week has been busy with summer exams. On Friday, we say goodbye to our Year 11 students who will now be returning only to take their exams and for any revision lessons they still have in their remaining subjects. The Year 11 Prom is on Friday, 29 June 2012 at the Solent Hotel, Whiteley and staff and students are looking forward to this annual celebration. Nadine Powrie Headteacher Enterprise: D Butterworth, Assistant Headteacher Pastoral/Enterprise The Launch of Young Chamber Council June 2012 The Young Chamber Council at Neville Lovett will connect young people between the ages of 11 – 16 directly with local businesses and employers. Within each school a Young Chamber Council is elected which plans events for the whole school community and contact with local businesses is facilitated by a Young Chamber Co-ordinator. Mr Butterworth
Why is young chamber being introduced at Neville Lovett? Young Chamber Council provides a very real, dynamic and effective engagement with the business community for young people in the area of work related learning. It can help students make vital decisions about future careers and provides a genuine insight into how businesses work. Who is involved? All students at Neville Lovett will have the opportunity to be involved at some point, but the starting 18 students who will make the Young Chamber Council have applied and been selected from year 9. The council will meet weekly. What events will take place? Current ideas for events have included: Speed networking: A range of local businesses gather and student’s move from table to table asking questions. Business Challenge : Either a business or the students themselves set a challenge and the outcomes are pitched to a panel of experts. Organising an event: This may be a Fashion Show or Film Weekend and student groups assume responsibility for every aspect of hosting the event. Site visit: Students visit the workplace of a local business. Invitation: One or a group of selected business people are invited to attend the school and talk about what they do. Assessment and Feedback Survey A reminder that the parent survey on Assessment for Learning (AFL) will close on 28th May 2012. Thank you to all who have participated to date. At the time of going to print we have had 52 responses. More would be appreciated. Thank you. History and Geography Reminder Geography revision guides for all Year 9 and 10 students are available for £3.25.
