Holly: I emailed you back, I'm not surprised we haven't found anyone else, the guy at my interview said that only 12 people are doing our course!

Cal: what course are you doing? What type of accommodation do you have?

Hi guys!
I am also going to do my PGCE secondary RE at Exeter this sept! Feeling a little daunted but VERY excited- and really glad to find other people doing the same course!

anyone made a start on the pre-course tasks? if not- make sure your printer has plenty of ink!

I also still need to find accommodation and don't really know where to start- any advice?

Hey Jenny,

I still need to do my tasks, how many are you going to do? I have to do philosophy of Religion for year 12, both are completely new to me. Haven't done philosophy since sixth form and haven't even observed a year 12 lesson.

I'm lodging, found her through the website mentioned in our welcome email.

Hi Rosie,

I have to do the Sikhism one, but i will prob do the Judaism one as well as I have done little on both and I want to be as prepared as I can be- my worst fear is being in a class and not knowing about what they are talking about!

Your question sounds like a good one to get your teeth into! So has your studies up until now focused mainly on the major world faiths? a lot of mine, especially in the last year of my degree at Lancaster was on New Age spirituality so i need to refresh my knowledge on the basics for high school.

I have had a quick browse on the website but I would like to see some pics- hopefully that wont be a problem- coming from so far away (the Lake District) I can't just pop down for a viewing- was the whole process easy enough for you?

Hi guys, I'm in for PGCE Secondary Physics.
Currently starting the megafun process of finding somewhere to live.
Trying desperately not to lodge, as doesn't really sound better than living at home, but may resort to it.
You guys all searching hard, found any good sources?
Adam.
