On November 21st, a group of Year 10 students attended the Introduction to Higher Education Day at St Mary’s University as part of the Brightside online mentoring project. This insightful event provided students with valuable knowledge about university life, future pathways, and essential skills for academic success.
Students also explored the importance of transferable skills like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving, recognising their crucial role in both academic and career success. A campus tour provided a glimpse into university life, while a creative workshop challenged students to design their own university societies, fostering collaboration and innovation.
Thanks to St Mary’s University and the Brightside mentoring project for providing this enriching experience. Our students left inspired, motivated, and well-prepared for the exciting journeys ahead.
