Yesterday I participated in a brilliant local sporting event, The Minehead Triathlon, organised by our friends @ChannelEventsUK - what a great team offering brilliant opportunities for young people in West Somerset (and some for the more mature among us as well).

[OAF@WSC @OAFWSC1]

This week all our @WSCminehead year 9 students, visited a careers fair in Taunton; so proud of the mature way they conducted themselves at the event. We hope this sparked lots of conversations about future choices at home; we will be following up with more events in coming weeks.

@ElkeWinzer Unfortunately twitter doesn’t have an edit feature. Having written this hastily whilst juggling my 8 year olds theatre club and still working at 7pm after a 12 hour day I’m sure you can forgive me. #eventeachersmakemistakes

[OAF@WSC @OAFWSC1]

A great day, many thanks to all the mentors who gave their time, to our year 10’s, for a hugely valuable day.
