Examples of portfolios and scrap books

There are now examples of portfolios and scrap books from last years TYs in the rooms where all TY classes have computers. Please use your computers class to look at these so that you have an idea of what you have to do - please take care of these and leave them back where you got them. Please ask your teacher to show you.

Location of each -
In the computer room (306) - to the right of the teachers desk as you look at it - on the window sill
In the drawing room (302) - on the right hand side of the room on top of the presses
In 008 - on the right of the teachers desk as you look at it - up in the corner

I hope that all makes sense and you find them

Please look at these as they will help you

Thanks

Work experience - msg from Miss Corless

Very well done to the TY group as the majority seem ready to begin work placement 1 on Friday, Sept. 11th.
Aim to confirm your start time with the employer before then.
Give them the letter/insurance document (in white envelope) and bring your attendance sheet to get signed by your supervisor/manager.
Those who haven't secured a placement must do so and begin on Sept. 18th.
Best of luck on Day 1,
M. Corless

Just to let u know that the links are back up and working - if there are problems please let me know
