Opportunities
and Diversity
Balance
Formal public examinations and their results will be
critical in your success and we know how important
they are to your future. We never lose sight of this.
However, we want students to leave STAC 6th Form
with more than just a set of outstanding academic
results. We place a high priority on personal
development and exposure to extra-curricular
activities and experiences.
Enrichment
Increasingly employers and universities are seeking
more than GCSEs and A levels; they are looking for
interested and interesting young people who can
demonstrate a wide range of skills and knowledge.
STAC 6th Form students will have the opportunity to
engage in activities such as the following:
· Sports teams
· Outdoor & adventurous activities
· Music performance & production
· Charity work for local, national and international
organisations
· Young enterprise activities
· Gaining first aid qualifications
· Language lessons
· Additional academic qualifications the EPQ
· Cookery lessons
· Student mentoring programmes
The enrichment activities take place on Wednesday
afternoons and are arranged in 10 week blocks
with each student undertaking a different activity
each term to ensure every 6th Former experiences
a breadth of activities and responsibilities.
Through these activities students can:
· explore new skills and interests
· become more self-sufficient
· realise their creative potential
· take responsibility, show initiative and leadership
qualities
· show good communication skills
· contribute to the community
· discover a hidden talent or develop a lifelong
interest
