Enrichment

Nova Hreod Enrichment Programme

AUTUMN TERM 1 - 2008

We are offering a very wide range of enrichment opportunities for students in all year groups again this term. Remember – we encourage all students to take at least four enrichments throughout the year. Either at lunchtime, after school or a mixture of both.

There will be an enrichment market this term during study time on Monday September 15th for everyone to ‘sign up’ with their enrichment teacher.

Students should:

Read through the list shown here
Enter a few possibilities in your diary/planner
Talk the ideas through with your parents
See the teacher concerned and ‘sign up’ with them

Year 7 students have an individual copy of this document to take home.

You will also find a copy of the ‘Enrichment Plus’ offer, at the end of this page .

Please see Mr Wilkes or Mrs Coward if you need any help with this process.
