Inspire 3 Launch
Year 9 students had an amazing day at the Inspire 3 launch at the University of Sussex on Tuesday 11th November.
15 year 9 students have been selected to be part of an exciting and inspirational 3 year programme with the University of Sussex.
Over the next 3 years, students will be experiencing a variety of different academic subjects and working on study skills, as well as being provided with post 16 and post 18 information advice and guidance. They will have an opportunity to meet with, and work with, role models, student ambassadors and lecturers from the university.
At today’s launch, students found out more about university life through a series of fun challenges that took them through the extensive University of Sussex campus.
They also had a thought-provoking session with Miranda from Get Career Confident.
After a delicious meal in the largest restaurant on campus, with the biggest selection of food you can imagine, the event concluded with the students being fortunate to hear from one of the university’s successful alumni, Nagi, and the journey he has taken since year 9.
PCS students would like to thank the University of Sussex for providing this opportunity and particularly the student ambassadors who supported them throughout the day. They are already looking forward to their next session next month.
"Before we got there, I was excited and a bit nervous. After the event, I already want to go again."
"Before the trip I was nervous and not very sure about it. Afterwards I was happy that I went and I felt proud of myself with how it went."
"Before I went I was a little bit anxious. After the event I felt great!"
"On the way I was very nervous about the day ahead but now I am so excited to go back to the Uni."
"I had lots of fun today and I really hope this will give me so many more opportunities. I really enjoyed it and am excited about our next visit."
