THE COLLEGE<br />
ENRICHMENT<br />
At Churcher’s <strong>College</strong> we feel that the key to a wellrounded<br />
education comes from recognising that<br />
there is no one way of accomplishing something<br />
and the demands of life can be many and varied. In<br />
an increasingly dynamic world we need to prepare<br />
our students for a future in which they are likely<br />
to need to transfer their skills from one job role to<br />
another. Central to this understanding is that no<br />
one perspective or approach is going to guarantee<br />
success and that students will require a range of<br />
skills in order to succeed and solve the challenges<br />
they may face.<br />
As well as hearing talks from a wide range of artists,<br />
performers, scientists, entrepreneurs, university<br />
lecturers, philosophers, campaigners, inventors<br />
and politicians, students will also take part in an<br />
important enrichment programme.<br />
Lower <strong>Sixth</strong> Enrichment<br />
The Enrichment programme will be an exciting new<br />
addition to the Lower <strong>Sixth</strong> and will allow students<br />
to explore new interests. It is the intention that the<br />
available choices will spread across categories of<br />
learning, self-development and creativity. This will<br />
allow students to select a variety of activities that will<br />
invigorate their minds by learning or trying something<br />
new, as well as exploring a balance of work and<br />
relaxation that they may not have discovered<br />
yet. Opportunities that will be available are likely<br />
to include Art History, an introduction to Law,<br />
Japanese language and culture, sports coaching<br />
and umpiring, fitness options, photography and AS<br />
Music Technology. Interspersed between the chosen<br />
options, there will also be lectures and talks that<br />
have been exceptionally popular in past years, such<br />
as War Journalism and Hypnotism.<br />
Upper <strong>Sixth</strong> Life Skills<br />
The Upper <strong>Sixth</strong> Life Skills programme offers<br />
students the chance to pick up some essential skills<br />
which will help to prepare them for life after school.<br />
The programme will include things such as:<br />
• Cookery course<br />
• First Aid<br />
• Self-defence<br />
• Financial planning<br />
• Car maintenance<br />
• Flat pack fun<br />
• Dance<br />
• Etiquette<br />
• Public speaking<br />
• Sex and relationships education<br />
