I've tried to put many ideas forward.. my school just simply doesnt have the budget.. aww thanks! what things do you do to insure your place i.e work experience ?


i cantdo work experience because it takes a 'double block' of our options to allow a full day off school and i cant because im doing seperate science and that takes up one of our year 11 options :frown: so im gonna do it my free time from the end of year 11 after my GCSE's :biggrin:

but im also planning to out ideas forward at my school such as to do a basic first aid course in year 11 during 'life' (whichis like the worst lesson ever as we dont do owt -.-)

Yeah it would be too much work.. but i get my NI number next year.. so i might do some volunteering for some time then get a real job. plus i have the DofE my life will be hectic next year!

We have that.. we call it 'My life' LOL its a mixture of R.E and citizenship i quite enjoy it actually

it doesnt interest me as there is no exam it doesnt really teach us life skills that much we did 3 hours on R.E + there is no exam or qualification .... i do have ideas though that i am going to put forward ... and i have DofE so i can do work experience in that so im hopefully covered :biggrin: cant wait to start it though ... there is a skills section and i dunno what im gonna do for it ?? either basketball/tennis (they are kinda skills :wink: ) or re-learn guitar because i cant play no more :frown:
Do you all - assuming you're all British citizens, or at least have leave to remain - get your NI cards/numbers sent to you before you're 16? I can only be given leave to remain/citizenship a couple of months after my 16th birthday...
