But many universities are now looking at the whole person and not just grades, and are asking students to explain themselves as people how they work with others and their best personal qualities. Obviously working consistently hard and getting the best grades possible is essential. This week in Global Citizenship, the Year 12 students were thinking about how they best prepare themselves for university applications. You may want to put this date in your diaries. Our Higher Education Webinar will take place on the evening of 10th February specific details will follow in the New Year, but we will have a focus on universities in the UK, Spain, Holland and Germany.

If you, as parents, have specific questions or concerns about university, please feel free to contact me. We are grateful for their support and interest in our students. Maria Heredia from EU Business School in Barcelona:.Caridad Dawson from IE University in Madrid:.Alicia Pajares Llorente from CEU Universidad San Pablo, Madrid:.Following the convention three different university representatives have come into school to talk with students and staff: Whilst the specific university that a student wanted to talk to might not have been there (remember our students are looking all over the world so it would be unreasonable to think that this would be possible), it started lots of useful conversations and made students aware of new possibilities that they hadn’t previously thought about. The convention gave our students the opportunity to talk with representatives from a range of universities. On Monday, we took over half the Sixth Form to the Unitour (face-to-face) university convention in Palma thank you to Ms Rodriguez for organising the trip. Year 13s continue to work on their university applications staff are busy with writing supporting references. The focus for many of our Sixth Formers this week has been the subject of university. Austin reminded us that it is only when peace enters into all of our interactions - into what we say and what we do on a daily basis - that we can truly end all war. It is a day which pleads for peace.Īsking students to reflect in silence on how they can try to bring that peace into their hearts, Ms. We remember to try to ensure that it never happens again. We remember because it was a horrific war, ´´the war to end all wars´´ and we remember the futility of all those lives lost in such terrible conditions. Austin explained why we observe this day that on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the signing of the armistice which signalled the end of the First World War took place at the Palace of Versailles in 1918.

Where we eat also matters: this weekend the fabulous PTA are starting work on the overhaul of the canteen. Earlier this week we met with a parent representative to get feedback on the menu and we are always keen to do this - to hear from yourselves about what your children like, what you as parents want and how we can ensure we make the important midday meal as delicious as possible. He and I talk often about how we can ensure the best service and meal offer for our students. I have worked really closely with our chef, Jerry, since he took on being our provider of tasty, nutritious school lunches. Talking to some prospective parents today, telling them about the wonderful teaching that goes on at our school and the wonderful teachers we have, the prospective student cut to the chase when she enquired, "What about lunch?" Lunch time is a really important part of any day, and quite rightly she wanted to know what she would experience at BIC! The importance of meal time, sitting down, togetherness, discussion. Up there with education and reading, food is a huge passion of mine.
