Today, our students took part in the Harris South Quadrant Cook Off 2022. I am proud to say that our students have taken home the trophy for Harris Academy Morden! There were 6 teams in total, they all had very professional dishes... but of course, WE CAME OUT NUMBER 1! Please congratulate our three students: Tia, Haider & Zafiyah.

I wanted to let you know that you and your child have been invited to a free online Careers Summit hosted by GT Scholars. The Careers Summit will take place online on Saturday 5th March 2022 from 9:30am to 3:00pm, and is open to all parents and young people aged 13-18. You do not have to attend the whole day as parents and young people can choose which sessions they would like to attend. Your child can learn from professionals from a range of universities and corporate organisations such as Barclays, NHS, University College London, The Penny Group, ExTrac, the University of Birmingham and BRIT Insurance.. This event will give young people an idea of the careers that are in high demand and how they can start to develop their own career pathway. There will also be a live Q & A session with the panel of speakers of each session who will answer any questions you may have. Tickets must be booked online at: https://careersummit.gtscholars.org/

It is National Career's Week from 7th March-12th March. Students and parents can sign up for a virtual careers fair and free resources at https://nationalcareersweek.com/m https://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_morden/uploads/document/National-Careers-week-flyer.pdf

Careers fairs usually take place in a big drafty hall, in which employers have set up rickety booths to explain what they do and what their recruitment process looks like. Attending a careers fair is usually a pretty long and busy day, and it's not a guarantee whether all the talks you attend will actually be valuable, in short, they can be a bit hit or miss. This is where Springpod steps in! We've created the Apprenticeships Virtual Careers Fair; it's the best of both worlds. Miss Twist has signed up for the event and there are links below for all the talks from national and multinational employers. https://apprenticeships.springpod.co.uk/talks/pwc/ How to make an application stand out with PwC https://apprenticeships.springpod.co.uk/talks/pizza-express/ Valuing apprentices with Pizza Express https://apprenticeships.springpod.co.uk/talks/pret/ Mental health, mindfulness and networking with Pret https://apprenticeships.springpod.co.uk/talks/pepsi/ Acing your interviews with Pepsi https://apprenticeships.springpod.co.uk/talks/deloitte/​ Climbing the ladder of success with Deloitte
