LOVE IN A BOX <strong>2017</strong><br />
Dear Mr Dean,<br />
Please pass on my thanks to everyone concerned with “Love in a Box.”<br />
We completed 213 boxes on Sunday, and this was followed by another<br />
8 boxes brought to the church by members of Mencap Sutton. It was a<br />
real delight to see the students of John Fisher come to help pack the boxes<br />
on a Sunday on their half term. Please do pass on my thanks to them<br />
all. The contributions from John Fisher parents, staff and students mean<br />
that we can continue to support those less fortunate than ourselves at<br />
Christmas.<br />
The boxes are due to be collected sometime today though I don’t know<br />
their final destination. They will definitely be with the children by Christmas.<br />
Thanks again for all the hard work for these children.<br />
Yours sincerely,<br />
Pam Oubridge.<br />

We will be holding our annual ‘Speed Careers’ event on Thursday 16th November from 1.00pm-<br />
3.30pm. The aim of the event is to raise awareness of the variety of careers and opportunities<br />
available to our students when they leave the School. If you can join us from 1.00pm, lunch will<br />
be provided for all guests.<br />
The event is split into two parts:<br />
Lunch will be served from 1.00pm-1.30pm for all guests.<br />
Part 1: 1.45pm-2.15pm<br />
We are looking for guests to offer a short talk on their career, experience and journey to a group<br />
of students who will select one talk to attend. We would love to offer a wide range of talks so that<br />
students can pick one that is really relevant to what they are looking to undertake. This will be in<br />
a classroom and a PC/Projector would be available. Due to space, we anticipate only being able to<br />
accommodate 10 talks at once so please do let us know if you would be willing to do this.<br />
Part 2: 2.15pm-3.15pm<br />
The entire year group will join you in the sports hall for a speed dating style event. Guests will<br />
be spread around the hall at a small table, with small groups of students spending a few minutes<br />
hearing what you do ad how you got there. You will have room for pop up banners, laptops<br />
(please make sure these are charged) and other props We will spread out the various industries<br />
and sectors so that students do not hear from the same career more than once. We purposely mix<br />
up the order of the guests and make the students follow a set order so that they talk to people in<br />
all areas rather than just a few. We believe that this helps widen their awareness and makes them<br />
think about careers they may not have considered. The small groups only spend a few minutes<br />
with you before moving on to the next guest. This will continue for around 45 minutes before time<br />
is given to students to walk around the hall and chat to any guests they have missed or would like<br />
more information from.<br />
If you, or your business, can spare some time to help Inspire the next generation<br />
then please email us directly, outlining whether you can participate in Part 1, Part 2<br />
or both.<br />
