Celebrating Student Success – Rebecca, Year 10
Today, we are highlighting the recent academic success of one of our Year 10 students, Rebecca, who secured a highly competitive Engineering Work Experience placement with British Airways in Cardiff before the October half-term break.
After competing against thousands of applicants, Rebecca earned her place through completing engineering learning modules and designing an impressive hydraulic Tower Bridge model. During her placement, she gained valuable hands-on experience alongside apprentices, engineers and mechanics, learning about aircraft maintenance and engineering operations within the aircraft hangar.
Rebecca’s passion, determination and commitment to STEM subjects have been exceptional, and this opportunity marks an exciting step towards a future career in engineering. Congratulations, Rebecca, on this fantastic achievement. Everyone at the College is delighted to celebrate your success and wishes you every success in the future!
“The placement was a great opportunity and I found it really interesting, challenging and a lot of fun. Only four students were selected to take part, so I felt very proud to be chosen. Studying Engineering and Construction as part of my option subjects has really helped me develop my interest in engineering, and the placement gave me valuable insight into the career I hope to pursue in the future.”
