    Christs School Open Evening : A Student Tour Guides Perspec tive

    On the evening of Mo nda y 20th Sep tem ber Christ s Sc hoo l opene d its doo rs

    to prospec tive stud ents, ma inly young sters in their last yea r of p rima ry sc hool.

    Christ's had plenty to offer inc lud ing a school tour, a hea d tea c hers ta lk and

    an opportunity to mee t tea c hers. Visitors c ould a lso wa tc h demonstra tions in

    the sc ienc e d ep artment, taste foo d from France a nd Spain in langua ge s and

    ea t homem ad e c ookies in food tech.

    As I ma de my way ba c k to the sc hool to help a s a to ur guide , I thought

    ab out the open e venings that I had attended before d ec iding o n my c hoic e

    of sec ond ary sc hoo l. Wha t rea lly stuck in my mind were the d rama

    dep artments, espe c ially, the p erformances I saw . I hop ed tha t I co uld find

    som ething m em orab le for the stud ents I show ed round . In the end it turned

    out to b e the last thing I expec ted .

    The group I set off w ith c hose to spend the longest time in Sc ienc e

    Depa rtme nt! Then the y had to g o to the hea d tea c her's talk, so I wa s left on

    my own w ith a p ig s d issec ted kidney. In the end I stayed there for the rest of

    the evening, expla ining to our future stud ents wha t a kidney doe s. Thisproved to b e q uite interesting as the rea c tions to it va ried from c uriosity to

    disgust.

    Od d ly the p ig 's kidney made m y night fee l a suc c ess as I am sure, whethe r

    fasc ina ting or revo lting , it w ill be som ething to stick in the mem ory!

    I sha ll be ho p ing to see a lot o f those stud ents a t Christ s next yea r!

    The Perfec t Job !

    During your time in sec ond ary sc hool it's go od to c onsider wha t you w ant to

    be w hen you re older. But how c an you rea lly tell wha t you wa nt? How do

    you find your perfec t job ?

    The m ost efficient way is to a ttend c areers events (fa irs/ shows). Hund red s of

    organisa tions suc h a s Skills London hold Sa turda y openings. They c an tell you

    ab out d ifferent c areer op po rtunities and give you a c hanc e to talk to

    em ployers, co lleg es and expe rts about your future. They p rovide interac tive

    fea tures from eve ry caree r imaginable. Choosing jobs isn t straightfo rward

    but the d ec ision w ill be m ade easier with the support of friend s, family and

    teachers.

    Consider a short-term work experienc e or internship to expe riment w ith

    d ifferent p rofessions. You w on't need to m ake a long-term c ommitme nt andyou w ill have the op portunity to g et an understand ing of jobs tha t sound

    interesting. If you find you ne ed new skills to ac c om plish your goa ls, consider

    going ba c k to sc hoolor college to ge t the a pp rop ria te tra ining.

    Ano ther rou te is to try som e o nline quizzes. Sites like Fab job and Myc areerquiz

    c laim to he lp you find out wha t jobs suit you b y asking you what you enjoy

    doing in your spare time, your favourite sub jec t or wo rds tha t a re m ost used

    to d esc ribe you. The site I would rec ommend would b e Youthink quiz

    bec ause it asks a lot of q uestions and there, in the e nd , my p red ic ted job was

    exac tly wha t I wa nt to be. A lawyer. So, ge t online a nd d isc over your drea m

    job.

    A letter from our Chap lain, Ruth Scott

    Dea r Parents and Ca rers,

    At our rec ent Ope n Evening a num ber of prospe c tive parents asked about

    the C hristian e thos of the sc hoo l. Some w ere c onc erned about us being too

    relig ious or exclusive. I hope w e w ere a b le to put the ir minds a t rest on this

    sub jec t. La ter in the week I c ame a c ross som e w ords of Arc hb ishop Row an

    Williams whic h I think cap ture w ha t we re a bout a t Christ s Sc hoo l. He sa id ,

    A Christian sc hoo l is one in whic h the entire a tmosphere is pervad ed by the

    c onvic tion tha t there is som ething m ysterious and pote ntially wonderful in

    everybody.

    One of the m any wa ys in whic h we try to help students ge t in touc h with theirg ifts is in d oing things for othe r peop le a nd thinking about issues tha t g o

    beyond their ow n experienc e. Sep tember 21st wa s the a nnual Interna tiona l
