The presentations were professional and well organised.
Careers Fair:
Corby Technical School hosted their annual careers fair this week organised by our Careers Leader. We had over 30 organisations in attendance and this included universities from across the country, local colleges and some local and national companies from different industries such as engineering, construction, travel, veterinary, royal army, royal navy, marketing, and so many more.
Students throughout the school had the chance to engage and ask lots of questions and seek potential opportunities and gain further information that can help with their future education and career decisions.
The day was a huge success, resulting in great feedback from both the students and the organisations that attended, leading to great opportunities for the school and continuing to maintain the relationships we have with these companies.
Thank you to all the companies who attendance, your advice is invaluable to our students and it helped many really think about their next steps. We would also like to thank the parents/carers who attended, it was lovely to see you all there.
We look forward to hosting again next year.
Below is a selection of photographs from the day, more will be on the school website shortly.
Cassie - Year 8
Year 10 GCSE Food:
Year 10 GCSE students made a Chicken Tikka Naanwich!
They de-boned and skinned the chicken before putting it in a yoghurt marinade overnight. Then they baked the chicken, whilst making a tikka sauce as well their own flatbreads. They were delicious!
Joe - Year 11
Joe is developing thoughtful interpretations alongside a critical writing style highlighted in this snapshot from his A Christmas Carol essay on the presentation of ignorance written in timed conditions. As you can see it is a promising essay indeed. Well done Joe!
