NCW Hope film
This motivational video was actually made for last year’s NCW but is actually even more relevant this year! Great to watch ahead of you returning to school next week.

There are many more videos to explore on the NCWTV too.
Year 11s should have been doing Mock Interviews this week but they were cancelled sadly. Next best thing for a bit of practice ahead of college/apprenticeship interviews is a Virtual job interview.

It’s particularly relevant for Year 11 but anyone can have a go!
Friday 5th March
Today you have some extra special treats. Firstly, series of inspirational quotes which hopefully will help motivate you, not just for returning to school, but also for your future. If any really hit the spot, why not print them out and stick them up in your room or design your own poster with the words and decorate it how you want?
Secondly, I have a range of short 2-minute video clips to share with you. Some have been sent by the interviewers who were going to be doing the Mock Interview Workshops with year 11. The ones I’m particularly pleased with are the ones past pupils have sent me. They are so inspirational and motivational, please take some time to watch them. You will probably not know them but they were once where you are!
