Friday 26th November

Sixth Form Information Evening starting at 6.00 pm

Prospective 6th Form pupils and their families are very welcome to join current Christ College pupils who are studying for and sitting GCSE's in 2011 and their families to a Sixth Form Information Evening. The evening is an ideal opportunity for pupils and parents to look forward to the choices and opportunities on offer in the Sixth Form, both academically and in other areas of school life.

The evening begins with a reception in the Clive Richards Room from 6.00 pm, followed by a series of short presentations in the Memorial Hall on various aspects of Sixth Form life. The Director of Studies, Mr Bush, will explain the academic options system, and there will be contributions from pupils and staff about the abundance of extracurricular and leadership opportunities available in the Sixth Form. A panel will then take questions from parents and pupils. After this, Heads of Department will be available for individual discussions about A level suitability and there will also be a chance to meet representatives of some of the organisations we work with to provide leadership challenges, such as the Tall Ships Youth Trust, the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme and TYF, who run our Lower Sixth Leadership Course in Pembrokeshire.

Please contact Admissions Registrar Mrs Margaret Stephens on 01874 615440 or admissions@christcollegebrecon.com to register your interest.
