keep up to date with Eggbuckland Sixth Forms unofficial News blog

Hello and welcome to my new blog page. This page has been set up to aid the Sixth Formers at Eggbuckland Community College. I will try and keep it up to date and give you recent news items. I will always keep this site professional but the views on this blog are my own and i may blog at any time about any Sixth Form related Subject that I think is relevant. As i want to keep this as up to date as possible I may not always have the time to dot my i's and cross my t's. This is not a reflection on my professionalism or the college it's just that I want to keep it fresh and quick and sometimes i may not be able to completely check all the text I send to my blog. My main concern and objective of this is to help the students and parents. For official information please always consult the College Website www.eggbuckland.com I hope you enjoy reading the posts. If you would like to contribute or add a news item then please email me.

Review day coming up

Review Day is almost here Wednesday 9th evening and Thursday 10th day. Please make sure your parents know about this date and that they have received a letter. You need to complete the section "before review day" with your tutor this next week. Remember Thursday period one is a tutor period. Make an appointment with your tutor this week.

A good first half term

So the first post. Hopefully all of the new year 12 students have settled in after the first half term. I think they will agree that the step up to year 12 is a big one. Students should be settled on to their courses and are now unable to drop or change courses. This half term the year 13 students have been given time to consider their next steps after Sixth Form. they have been doing their own research and have been working with tutors to look at their options. students applying for university need to complete their UCAS applications by November 5th. Once these applications are complete staff can then write references. I will check the students applications and then send them off to UCAS. if parents or students need more advice on this then please ask alternatively you could look at www.ucas.com or www.ucas.tv.
