University Open Days and Application Dates
Here’s a table we’re compiling, of university open days and application details for entry in 2016. It’s a quick-reference tool for all Broughton families readying for the big leap!
If you’re researching this for yourself, and you come across additions or corrections for our table, please e-mail them, if you would, for the benefit of your classmates and their families, to uni.opendays@broughtonhighpc.org.
Going forward, by the way, we’re also working on a way of connecting aspiring applicants from Broughton High with alumni at these various universities. Watch this space.
Easter revision courses for Nat. 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher subjects
Here’s a good stress-buster for anxious families this time of year. It’s a (very) wide array of revision sessions over the Easter break! See the whole schedule by clicking here.
S4 Work Experience
All S4 students are given the opportunity to undertake a week’s work experience during the course of the year. The letter issued to parents regarding this is here.
If students are finding their own work placements, this form MUST be completed by the employer and returned to their Guidance teacher by no later than 21 September.
A copy of the Letter of Understanding between the Councils and Firms or Organisations providing Work Experience Placements is available to download here.
Creative Industries Open Day at Edinburgh College
Here’s something of interest to many of our leavers. Edinburgh College is holding an open day for programmes in the creative industries. It’s to be on Wednesday, 13 August, from 10 to 3. Here’s a great chance to learn the way forward in music production, the performing arts, broadcasting, or art and design.
Edinburgh College has several campuses. Find out which one to go to, for which field within creative industries, here.
Go along, meet the lecturers, and have an exciting time!
student hosting request
We have a 15-year-old percussionist coming to the Music School for a year, from Germany. She is the daughter of an orchestral percussionist, which probably helps explain her top-ten ranking in national music competitions recently. Her father is looking for a host family for her, starting this August. He is happy, of course, to cover her living expenses.
If you or another Broughton family might be interested, please drop a line to intouch@bhspc.org.uk, and we will send it on. There is performance video, which is very impressive!
Please let us know.
