Year 10The well-being and personal development of each individual is at the core of the Pastoral Programme. In Year 10, the aims of the Pastoral Programme are:
Pastoral ProgrammeThe Pastoral Programme at Key Stage 3 aims to develop the whole student academically, personally and spiritually. It seeks to build relationships between home, school and parishes and permeates every aspect of school life. The well-being and personal development of each individual is at the core of the Year 10 Pastoral Programme. Form tutors deliver the Programme during one allocated Pastoral lesson each week during which students complete their individual Pastoral Booklets. Students also have the opportunity to lead Assembly throughout the year and participate in many charity events. External agencies such as the Bogside and Brandywell Health Forum, Divert and PSNI also facilitate workshops throughout the year on themes such as Bullying, Internet Safety, Alcohol/Drugs Awareness and students also participate in Heart Start First Aid Training. Some of the themes studied in the Year 10 Pastoral Programme include Self-Awareness, Personal Safety, Learning about learning, Target Setting, Personal Health (Heart Start Programme), Relationships Education and Drugs Awareness. Curricular Provision/Subjects AvailableThe Key Stage 3 Curriculum has been organised to provide a balanced and broad experience for each pupil. All students in Year 10 study the following subjects: Art & Design, Citizenship / Employability, English, French / Spanish / Irish* (*students study two Modern Languages), Geography, History, Home Economics, Information Communications Technology, Mathematics, Music, Pastoral Education, Physical Education, Religious Education, Science and Technology. The college's Careers programme helps to guide students and parents through the decision-making process. A GCSE Subject Choices Booklet is also provided for parents of Year 10 students. The Merit SystemThe purpose of the Merit system is to recognise the good work of our Key Stage 3 pupils and reward them for their efforts. The Merit System awards both individual and whole class achievement. A pupil can achieve up to 5 merits per week (one per day). Students will be awarded Bronze, Silver and Gold Certificates when they achieve specific targets. Bronze Certificates are presented by Form Tutors, Silver certificates are presented at Assembly while Gold certificates are awarded at Junior Prize-giving. A number of pupils with the highest number of merits will be awarded a prize at the end of the college year. The Merit System recognizes and fosters group achievement by awarding prizes annually to the class group with the highest cumulative total of merits in each year group.
