Summer Opportunities For Year 11 HAB Girls With NCS - Find Out More
A letter to parents from NCS, who are working with HAB to create summer experiences for our Year 11 students. Full details below including how to sign up.
Dear Parent/Carer,
We are excited to be working with Harris Academy Bermondsey this year to deliver an unforgettable summer experience for students.
The NCS programme offers young people, aged 16-17, a once in a lifetime opportunity to do something meaningful with their summer break, as well as a chance to develop skills and take on new challenges that will set them up for adult life. They'll also do something good for their local community, carrying out a project to support a cause they care about. We've seen first-hand what an amazing feeling of accomplishment and increased confidence this brings. Last summer, teenagers on NCS donated 200,000 hours of their time to help rebuild their communities, showing what a difference young people can make when they work together towards a goal.
Over a period of 2 weeks they will;
- Meet new people
- Try new things
- Give back to their local community through voluntary action
- Take on new challenges
- Develop the skills and confidence to take on their next steps
- Generate experience for their university application, job/apprenticeship interview or CV and more!
NCS is all about helping teenagers realise their potential by giving them a taste of independence and loading them up with new skills that set them up to achieve their future goals, whatever they may be. And this year, it’s your teen’s turn!
We will be holding an assembly to talk more about the NCS programme. We'll answer any questions your teen may have and give them a chance to register their interest for the Summer 2022 programme.
If your teen does want to register their interest in taking part in NCS this summer, we will ask them to share your contact details. This is so that we can complete the administrative process required to get them signed up to a programme date. If they do let us know they're interested, we'll be in touch with you by email or phone to run through the steps we need to complete their booking.
A place on NCS is worth around £1200. However, thanks to government funding for the programme, we only ask for a contribution of £10 to cover some basic costs. We want to ensure that everyone can do NCS so there are bursaries available if you need some help to cover the cost.
This summer, we’ve got a few start dates you can choose from:
25th July 2022
01st August 2022
08th August 2022
Go to wearencs.com to sign up or for more information. Frequently asked questions can be found at wearencs.com/faqs. Alternatively, if you have any questions or don’t think these dates will work with your summer plans, give us a call and we’ll do our best to help you out: 0800 197 8010
We look forward to welcoming your teen on NCS this summer!
Warm wishes,
Joubin Sarrami
