Year 11 pupils start thinking about their future


It is the start of a new academic year for the town’s year 11 pupils but they will already be thinking about their future beyond high school.  To help them make an informed decision about their future, St Helens College have organised a number of upcoming events.

St Helens College will be hosting an Independent Careers Fair on Thursday 11th October 4pm-8pm at the Town Centre Campus.  The event is open to all young people who are making decisions about their future.  Representatives from St Helens College, local sixth form colleges, universities, training providers and the uniformed services will be there to help and advise visitors.

On Wednesday 17th October, St Helens College is holding an open evening from 5.30pm-8.30pm at the Town Centre Campus and Technology Centre.  Year 11 pupils and their parents will have the opportunity to meet the tutors, take a tour of the new facilities and find out more about the courses available at St Helens College.  There will be interactive workshops and demonstrations throughout the evening to provide guests with a taste of student life at College.

St Helens College deliver a wide range of courses from entry level to higher education and professional studies.  We offer students a practical way to study that can take them onto university or into their dream job.  At College all students are treated as adults and will be required to take responsibility for their own study.  A new approach to pastoral care will ensure that students get the best help and support possible to achieve their goals and aspirations.
2011/12 has been a successful year for student achievement at St Helens College and we are proud to announce 100% achievement rates on all our Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma courses.  The Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma courses are equivalent to 3 A Levels and students progress onto university or into their chosen career as BTEC courses are recognised by universities and employers.
