CAREERS NEWS FROM MS NEMBHARD
Y9 READY TO TAKE ON THE BUSINESS WORLD WITH KINDNESS & TOGETHERNESS!
Y9 students visited EY in Canary Wharf to explore different careers, particularly in Business and Finance, and develop their key skills and had enormous fun in the process!
Students were introduced to different roles and had the opportunity to network with professionals from the consultancy firm before taking part in a fast-paced, hands-on business challenge and team-building activity. Well done Y9's!
Here are some of their comments:
“The EY trip was a wonderful experience. I really enjoyed doing some new work and learning new skills and the staff we met were all so sweet and kind. I liked learning about their job and experience and the Origami business game we played. I would definitely do it again!”
“ I really enjoyed developing my teamwork and confidence and loved the Origami Challenge and found it so fun. I am proud of our togetherness when we were doing it and I would definitely go again!”
“During the EY Trip, I was able to try new experiences and use techniques and skills like togetherness, teamwork, leadership and communication to achieve our goals and have fun.”
“It was such a fun experience. I enjoyed the teamwork, talking to the people there and 100% do it again ??”
“The EY Foundation visit was so fun. I loved everything about it: the teamwork, introducing myself to the volunteers and the view from the 20th floor is so nice and the people are so kind. Definitely would come back!”
The volunteers remarked how much fun they had themselves and what a brilliant group our Y9 students have been and commended them for their fantastic communication skills and creative negotiation techniques… a team even burst into song to secure a deal at the best price!
We are immensely proud of every single student who attended the visit and look forward to another visit in the future.

SATURDAY CLUBS: HAVE FUN, MAKE FRIENDS, GET CREATIVE, GO BEYOND CLASSROOM LEARNING ... ALL FOR FREE!
We are delighted to share this invitation from our friends at London Screen Academy to join their Film & Screen Saturday Club.
It is a fantastic opportunity to learn about all aspects of film making, from scriptwriting to costume design, budgeting and camera operating and more.
Young people will create their own film, have fun and make new friends and it is also an excellent way to prepare for their work experience and post-16 options.

Saturday Clubs are free and support might be available for transport cost. London Screen Academy is looking forward to seeing lots of enthusiastic and creative storytellers joining the club.
Do not hesitate to contact Ms Nembhard at cnembhard@deptfordgreen.co.uk if you have any questions or would like support with Saturday Club applications.
Other Saturday Clubs are available such as THE SOCIETY & CHANGE SATURDAY CLUB at The National Army Museum, PERFECT for students interested in Arts, History, Politics, Citizenship and Sociology. Again, young people will learn new skills, build up their confidence and meet new people.
The theme for this club is to consider how art, culture and memory shape attitudes towards war and conflict.
Young people will also have the opportunity to create their own artistic responses that will be displayed as part of the Summer Show in Somerset House. How amazing!
You can apply here National Army Museum - National Saturday Club and they would love to see Deptford Green students taking part as well as some Y10 applying for work experience!
