A parent has asked if the parent council and school could work together to organise an open event on the subject of university admissions. What do other parents think?
The hope is that we could arrange an event which would give parents and senior pupils the opportunity to chat to school careers advisors and external specialists about things such as:
- The Curriculum for Excellence and its impact on university admissions procedures.
- Funding options.
- Gap years and their impact on study plans.
- Qualifications and entry requirements.
The school is willing to work with us on this. We’ve been in touch with several university admissions departments and all have said they’d be willing to send a representative.
Is that something you’d find useful? Would you come along? Before we organise an event like this, we need to know there’s sufficient demand among parents to justify it.
Please let us know either by leaving a comment below or sending an email to chairperson@breadalbaneparents.com
