Next Step Conference Timetable

NEXT STEP CONFERENCE – TIMETABLE 2014

On the morning of Wednesday 25th June we will be holding our Next Step Conference for Year 12 students to help you make decisions about your future, whether you are thinking of going to university or not. Below you will find the proposed timetable for the day with the sessions which will be available. We would recommend that you attend the sessions by the Universities if you are thinking of applying to university. We will need to even out numbers, so if you could indicate your choices below and also choose a back up if we are not able to accommodate your preferred choices, we will put together an individual timetable for the day for you. Once your timetable has been arranged, it is essential that you go to the sessions you are booked in for and not change.
