Simon Community fun run
A big thank you to all the pupils who participated in the fun run on
Saturday. Even though a Saturday morning did not suit a lot of people
who had other commitments we still had a team of 49 pupils and staff.
Pupils are asked to collect their sponsorship money and to return the
money and card to Mr McClure in A4 before half term. |

4th year careers seminar
Last Friday about 30 of us made our way to St.
Vincent’s Hospital for a day of lectures on careers in the medical
profession as well as a tour of the hospital. Many of us were interested
in either nursing or medicine although we were also given talks on
Radiology, Research, Social Work, Occupational Therapy as well as
Physiotherapy. All the speakers were really positive and expressed a
unanimous love of their respective jobs. They did stress however that
commitment and hard work were essential to succeed in the medical
profession. The doctor highlighted this saying that he was called into
the hospital at 1.45 am on Tuesday and didn’t arrive home until 6.00am
on Wednesday. The hospital has state of the art facilities and we saw
the new biochemistry labs and modern mental health wing - it was
impressive. After the tour it was clear than many of us had been assured
that a career in some form of medicine would be a good option. A word of
thanks must go to Ms. T. Jones for her organisation of the trip as well
as the helpful and informative staff and speakers of St. Vincent’s
Hospital.
