Term 3 - Oak heights Independent school

Back after half term, the Oak Heights students are in their final term of the school year. The GCSE’s and GCE’s are in full flow. Our year 11 students are continuing to revise whilst their exams are going on. The rest of the students are continuing lessons as normal and will also be preparing for the end of year exams in a few weeks.
At the end of term 2 the Yellow House were announced the House prize winners, so the prize trip will be arranged this term. Alongside this a trip for the Year 8’s will be organised. We are also working on a school trip to the Warner Brothers Studio for The Harry Potter Experience.
Last term we were preparing the year 10 students for work experience. C.V workshops were taking place. Talks about work experience and apprenticeships will be arranged for this term. The students will be doing their work placements in September 2014.
The CV workshops proved to be very successful. The students were given multiple tasks, case studies and scenarios to help them understand the concept of a CV and eventually completing one for themselves, in order to help them with their work experience placements in September 2014.
In order to keep the students fit and active Swimming takes place every Tuesdays, and MultiSports every Friday. A selection of games such as football and badminton and group activities are organised for the students to interact in. We are looking to introduce athletics in the next term to build on the students strength, stamina and upkeep their physical fitness.
As part of our on going fundraising projects the Student Council will be organizing more sport tournaments to raise money for charities. We look forward to hosting a Rounders tournament next term. The Exam centre is no longer taking applications for the examinations taking place in June 2014.
