Next week (15th-19th February) is our enrichment week at Cardiff Sixth Form College and with Lockdown still being in place in the UK we have created a range of activities for students to safely take part in over the week during their break from lessons and assessments.
Our annual physics trip to CERN in Geneva unfortunately cannot go ahead this year, so instead we have arranged for a talk from a CERN member of staff who will provide an online presentation introducing CERN, it’s missions, the big physics questions they are addressing and taking questions from our students.
Our Careers department have created a five-day programme as part of their Virtual Enrichment Week with a series of extra-curricular activities, taking place every morning, to hopefully broaden and confirm future career options. Opportunities to CSFC students include:
