Dear MYP and DP families, the Careers Guidance Department is pleased to feature the following events:
๐ DP 1: SRT International University Fair, Padua, 18th April, 10:00 – 11:30
We are most pleased to announce that our school will be accompanying our DP 1 students for a half day trip to the SRT University Fair at the English International School of Padua.
Students will be accompanied by our University Guidance team for a tour of the 21 universities present for the event. Please encourage the students to prepare a list of questions to ask during the fair on: academic programs, student:teacher ratio, student life, accommodation options, study away programs, internship opportunities, placement rates at graduations. Students can find further articles and guides on how to navigate a university fair on the Unifrog portal.
Attendance is mandatory for all DP 1 students and classes will be waived for the whole morning of 18th April. Students will return on time to attend timetable after lunch starting 14:00.
