Our Limitless Learning programme is made up of two elements: online university-style academic seminars and ‘real world ready’ modules which take in a range of topics from cooking, finance and leadership, that will make a real difference to life after school for our Year 13s. These sessions are facilitated and led by high-calibre teaching staff and experts from across our family of schools.
“Thank you for the new learning opportunities which have been organised for Year 13…. the classes seem to be giving [my daughter] a real taste of what university seminars will be like… she is really making the most of them which is fantastic after the disappointment of the A levels not taking place.” – GDST Parent
Year 13 students have access to a range of targeted careers activities, too. The Real Models Careers Talk series features successful women from a range of professional backgrounds sharing their personal stories and advice, whilst our Careers Start Live sessions engage students in debate and discussion around how they can gain and develop the skills, experience and leadership qualities that employers are looking for. The Inspiring Changemakers Programme event also features online workshops and presentations from an array of high-profile and dynamic women sharing their professional and personal experiences to motivate our students.
“The GDST Design Thinking programme allows me to communicate with a group of girls from across the UK while learning about something that will enhance my study skills for University. It has been a pleasure to work with girls who are so enthusiastic within the GDST.” – Year 13 Student
As a family of 25 schools, collaboration is important to us, and the Design Thinking Course and TED Ed Student Talks reflect this. Both courses involve working with students in schools across the GDST; Design Thinking looks at conceiving and developing innovative solutions to Real World problems, whilst the TED Ed Student Talks series encourages students to share their experiences of learning during lockdown, celebrating their achievements, and, in the spirit of TED Talks, recognising that all GDST girls have ideas worth sharing.
It is important to acknowledge the importance of safeguarding both our physical and our mental health during these unprecedented circumstances; with this in mind, we partnered with the Positive Project to provide wellbeing support and activities for students and parents alike. We are also proud to feature The RAP Project who have presented to Year 13s across the GDST on The Big Leap from school to university and beyond. For those who like to lose themselves in a book, we present Book Club Live, an online book club where students can escape the outside world by discussing good reads.
Our Year 13 Limitless Learning Programme aims to futureproof students and prepare them for the challenges and rewards that lie ahead of them as they leave us to begin their next chapter.
