Xaverian College welcomes Year 10 pupils from across the region to its annual Taster Days, providing them with the opportunity to experience student life at an outstanding Catholic sixth form college.
This much-loved Taster Day programme aims to extend learning opportunities, raise aspirations and assist in supporting young people’s transition into Further Education.
Just before the academic year come to an end, Xaverian welcomed 19 schools and over 1600 pupils, who had the opportunity to choose three subjects to experience, allowing them to think about the variety of options available post-16.
Every year, school staff and pupils comment on the warm welcome, diverse range of subjects, friendly Teachers, state-of-the-art Campus and much more, with many expressing that “the entire experience was excellent!”.
Olivia Kavanagh, Marketing and Schools Liaison Manager, said: “It is vital that we encourage young people to think about their futures, as it gives purpose to their learning and enables them to develop the skills and knowledge needed to pursue a career of their choosing.
“Our Year 10 Taster Days really stretch the boundaries of raising aspirations and I am pleased that they continue to be enjoyed by our local schools. It is a pleasure that we can work in partnership with them to empower young people and ensure nothing stops them from reaching their goals.”
Xaverian’s Year 10 Taster Day programme is part of the College’s broader outreach efforts to engage with local communities and support young people in making informed decisions about their education. The College prides itself on creating a welcoming and inclusive environment, where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and the Taster Days offer a glimpse of what it means to be part of Xaverian’s vibrant community.
Xaverian College provides students with the skills, experience and qualifications that prepare them for their future career or higher-level study and encourages them to become confident individuals who will make valuable contributions to businesses and the local economy.
