Last week, Year 7 and 8 had the opportunity to experience university life. Starting with Year 7 visiting Portsmouth University for a transition mindsets day, and then Year 8 visiting the University of Southampton for a day in the life of a student. At both events, the students fully engaged in the activities provided by the universities and learnt valuable information about life after school.

Thank you to both Portsmouth and Southampton Universities for hosting the events. A few quotes from the students:

"I really enjoyed the tour, seeing the sports building made me want to study sports at university because it looks fun." - Indya, Year 7

"The best part of the day was listening to the ambassador's stories about what it's like to be at university." - Corey, Year 7

"My favourite part of today was how they used current students to describe what and how they do everything there." - Joel, Year 8

"On today's trip I enjoyed the campus tour and the student budgeting activities." - Zoe Year 8
