Being Invited to talk to 150 Students from Years 7 to 11 was a great privilege.
Principal Kate Davies and Her Staff are committed to preparing Students for Life and Careers.
The day was full of Fun and Learning and they taught me as much as I did them.
Kate welcomed the Idea offered to stimulate Ideas in the minds of Students ahead of the challenges that the future might bring.
Young people have lots of
energy and optimism and the College recognises the benefit of harnessing this
as a way to find success in life. It was a genuine pleasure and lots of fun to
engage with every age range. Knowledge is power but knowing how to use it
creates the wisdom needed to get the best value from it. I felt part of a big
family and was reminded of the great work done by teaching staff to benefit
those in their care.
Reflecting on the day Kate Davies noted: ”It was a
fantastic day and an honour to welcome such a diverse bunch of speakers from a
variety of different professions. Our learners were incredibly positive about
the day and certainly inspired and motivated! Huge thanks to everyone involved
and to Dave Bond the Careers leader here at Darton who made it all happen”.
We can but wish these Students every success.
