• HARRIS PUPIL OFFERED PRESTIGIOUS ASTON MARTIN APPRENTICESHIP

  Thu 29 Mar 2018

  Harris is celebrating Carlos F's achievement of being awarded a place on the prestigious Aston Martin apprenticeship scheme. We are very proud of Carlos, he had this to say. 

   

  "At the beginning I was unaware of what engineering was, after studying Imagineering in year 7 I was truly inspired to pursue an engineering career.

   

  Over time I attended various courses, one of which was attended by Aston Martin. From that point on I knew I wanted to work for Aston Martin.

   

  I was lucky enough to gain a work experience placement with Aston Martin in the manufacturing and engineering department. This amazing experience motivated me to pursue my dream of working for the luxury sports car manufacturer.

   

  At this present time, I have a conditional offer for an Aston Martin apprenticeship scheme and I am en-route to a lifetime of open doors and opportunities!"

   

  Well done and good luck Carlos!

• SKI TRIP AUSTRIA 2018

  Mon 19 Mar 2018

  AUSTRIA - ZELL AM SEE - 2018

   

  Another successful Ski trip has returned from Zell-Am-See, Kaprun, Austria, under the guidance of Mr Timothy, Miss Barnett, Miss Lewis and the “Awesome” “Absolute G” ski instructor Angelo.

   

  We all returned safe, uninjured, exhausted and brimming with accomplishment.

   

  The Jugendgasthaus Pecile,  Zell-am-See.

  Stunning Views.

   

  By the end of the week the “snow snakes” were defeated and our trusty “snow inspectors” could ski the slopes without checking the quality of the snow at every turn.

   

  The students’ comments about the trip ranged from “it was awesome” and most spoke about how they enjoyed being able to “make new friends.”

   

  “I most enjoyed being able to do the metal jump after struggling at every turn in the first few days”

   

  “Skiing the whole slope”

   

  “I have most enjoyed the ski experience and trying different skills"

   

  “I really enjoyed learning how to ski confidently and at the end of the week having the ability to go fast without falling.”

   

  “I have enjoyed learning to ski down busy slopes, learning about Austrian Culture, seeing Miss Lewis beating Mr Timothy.”

   

  The students also enjoyed witnessing the friendly rivalry between the staff and this was mentioned in several accounts of the slalom races and ski race night.

   

  Thank you to all of the students who came on the 2018 Ski trip for never giving up! You should all be extremely proud of your accomplishments.

  Mr Timothy, Miss Barnett and Miss Lewis.

   

  If you are interested in attending the proposed 2019 Ski Trip please speak to Mr Timothy
