Mon 23 Sep 2024

On Wednesday 18^th September, the new Year 10 GCSE Art and Design students went on an inspirational trip to the Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden in Ockley, Dorking. The group took part in a Photography challenge to practice Primary Research, an essential element omaterialsf their upcoming GCSE coursework projects. We enjoyed following the sculpture trail and identifying the that the sculptures were made out of, capturing our favourites with our smart phones. After lunch, we experimented with light sensitive sun paper in the sunshine using foraged natural items such as fern leaves, seed pods and stones. All of the students' primary research photographs and sun paper prints will become a starting point in their next lesson back at school.

WORK EXPERIENCE

Work Experience Week – 2024. We are pleased to report that all our Year 10 students successfully completed their Work Experience Programme this academic year. It was lovely speaking to the employers at the end of Work Experience Week to hear how well the students had done and subsequently read the fabulous written feedback in the Employer Review section of their work experience journals.

A big thank you to our Year 10 parents who were so proactive in the process of securing placements for their son/daughter. If you have student going into Year 10 next academic year it’s never too soon to start thinking about looking for a placement – some employers get booked up very quickly – so do get in touch via email (jwhitby@khs.education) to discuss any possible placement ideas. Similarly we would welcome emails from any parents whose employer would be interested in offering a work placement to a KHS student next summer term – June 2025.
