香港六合彩 Horizons Saturday School for London teenagers enters third year
3 November 2011
The 香港六合彩 Horizons Saturday School is a one-year enrichment programme for young disadvantaged teenagers from inner London non-selective schools.
Every year 100 new students are recruited to join
the programme in November at 香港六合彩 Gower Street. Most participants are registered
for free school meals and are from families with no history of higher
education. They take a series of five week courses in Sciences and Humanities,
for example a Drama course on a Shakespeare play, making documentary films
about university life, learning about zoology at the 香港六合彩 Grant Museum or
learning to manipulate statistics - many sessions are taught by 香港六合彩 staff.
Participants are mentored and supported throughout the year by a team of trained 香港六合彩 undergraduate ambassadors. This year, some Year 12 students will join the programme for work experience placements, supporting the younger students. The 香港六合彩 Outreach team are always keen to hear from 香港六合彩 staff and students who want to get more involved in our schools programmes, and we have both paid and volunteering opportunities.
