🎉🌟 What a fantastic day we had at our Year 5 Taster Day yesterday! 🌟🎉 We were thrilled to host twenty-three enthusiastic children from St Stephen’s Junior School, who joined us for a day filled with fun and learning. In Food Technology, our willing young chefs made delicious Anzac biscuits 🍪, showcasing their creativity and culinary skills. During their P.E lessons, it was all about teamwork and endurance as they tackled an exhilarating obstacle course, pushing themselves and their peers to complete the course in record time. 🎽 ⌚ Their ‘adventure’ themed day didn't stop there! In the Duke of Edinburgh lesson, the young explorers showed off their skills by building tents and crafting vibrant flag banners. ⛺ A huge thank you to all the children for their enthusiasm and participation, as well as to our dedicated staff and supporting Sixth Form students for making this day possible. It was an excellent day filled with laughter, learning, and lots of fun. Thank you to the staff members from St Stephen’s Junior School for accompanying the children and for spending the day with us. 🙌 We look forward to welcoming children from @briary_primary_school at our next #Year5TasterDay in December 2024. #ArchbishopsSchoolCanterbury #Canterbury #Kent #SecondaryEducation #TasterDay #InspiringYoungMinds #LearningIsFun #PE #FoodTechnology #DukeofEdinburgh #WeAreArchbishops

🌟 This week's #FeatureFriday acknowledges the fantastic career opportunities available to our students. 🧑‍💼 🩺 👷 We were lucky enough to host a Year 10 careers event for selected students on 16 April. This was a great opportunity to support students with their next steps once their journey at The Archbishop’s School ends. Zara, from The Education People (who run Kent Choices), ran sessions regarding employability skills and provided information on College, Sixth Form and Apprenticeships. 📚 🖋️ 🎓 Each session was incredibly valuable and provided students with an environment to explore and question their next steps. 💭 💯 Students provided high quality feedback in the sessions and afterwards. PLEASE NOTE - Year 10 students will be provided with their Kent Choices login in July 2024 - parents/carers, please keep an eye out for these in the post. 🙏 We would like to pass on a huge thank you to Zara and her team for such a productive and informative day! #ArchbishopsSchoolCanterbury #Kent #Canterbury #Careers #NextSeps #FuturePlanning
