Aspiration & Achievement

Text

The aim of ‘Aspiration and Achievement’ week is to immerse our children into different jobs, learning about roles and responsibilities and to inspire our children. 

The key message behind Aspiration and Achievement Week is that aspirations are what drive students to be what they will become. It is our responsibility to provide school experiences and environments which will encourage children to do more and be more than they presently aspire to be. Ultimately, we want to develop our children’s aspirations at the earliest opportunity.

Teachers oversee a host of careers-focussed activities designed to broaden horizons and support children's aspirations – including hearing from guest speakers, talking about career options and experiencing what it would be like to work in different career sectors.

It is great to be able to invite our guest speakers - including some of our amazing parents - into school to share their experiences with our children through assemblies and workshops. 

'Millenn-a-zania'

As part of the week, we set up our own ‘Millenn-a-zania’ where our staff reorganise the school to set up different professions for the children to trial for the day. The children rotate through the different areas around the school across the day and gain an insight into what it would be like to work in different vocations.
