Sts Peter and Paul Catholic College: Year 10 Visit To Hope University

Life is richer at Sts Peter and Paul!

Life is richer at Sts Peter and Paul!

Welcome to the official blog created by students to chronicle their experiences during Enrichment Weeks.

On these pages you’ll find personal accounts from our students discussing the wide range of activities they enjoyed both in college and off site.

Visits included residential trips to Iceland with the Geography department, France with the History department and Barcelona with the Maths department. Year 10 and 11 students will visited New York with the Business Studies teachers, while English staff and students explored creative writing skills in locations as diverse as Florida and Yorkshire, where students worked alongside a poet, a novelist and a playwright to set their imaginations on fire.

Back at College, students will take part in retreats to explore and deepen their faith. They will hear from inspirational speakers, attended careers workshops and take part in a host of music, dance and drama activities.

Our College Principal, Wendy White, said, “Enrichment Week is a fantastic opportunity for students to broaden their horizons and learn outside the classroom. It is experiences like these which testify to the diverse, exciting and challenging curriculum at Sts Peter and Paul Catholic College, and how we focus on the development of the whole child.”

Daily updates from home and abroad will allow students to record and share their memorable learning experiences with family and friends.

We hope that you enjoy reading about our experiences on these pages as much as we have enjoyed putting them together.

Look out for the next instalment of the blog following Enrichment Week in July 2015….

Year 10 Visit To Hope University

On Wednesday Mr Johsnton, Mrs Comber, Mrs Nolan and Mrs Ashes were delighted to accompany a group of year 10 pupils to Liverpool Hope university

Pupils were given a warm welcome by current undergraduates who showed them around the campus, talked to them about academic and social life at Hope and gave them some tips for preparing for University Life.

After lunch pupils were given a lecture on study skills and heard from current undergraduates about how Hope has enabled them not only to gain knowledge and understanding of new things but it has provided an opportunity for them to join various clubs and societies making new friends along they way.

All pupils were fully engaged in the day and their behaviour was exemplary. Well done to all involved and special thanks to Mr Johnston for organising.
