__** //Army Work Experience Residential// **__

Last week 6 Year 10 students completed their Work Experience Residential (5 days & 4 nights) at Nesscliffe Barracks in Shrewsbury. Here are some of their comments: **//What was the best part of your work experience?//**
 * Paint ball (Jordan)
 * Staying out in the woods for the whole day & night eating rations (Keaton)
 * Meeting the staff there and firing the paint ball gun (Kieran)
 * Wednesday night when we had close quarter reconnaissance manoeuvres & members of our team were kidnapped (Simon)
 * The indoor laser guided shooting range (Taylor)

**//If you had another Work Experience opportunity, what would you do differently?//**
 * Try harder to work within groups (Jordan)
 * I wouldn’t put my hands in my pockets so much – every time I had to do 10 press ups! (Keaton)

**//How has your work experience made you think about your future?//**
 * I want to go into the army as an engineer (Jordan)
 * The experience was good and it has made me think about my actions and my future – I might join up with the army (Keaton)
 * To do well in my coursework and exams I need to listen more & follow the advice I am given by my teachers (Kieran)
 * The experience has made me think more deeply about joining the army – the presentation on basic training in Yorkshire was helpful. To be successful in school I realise I need to have more self discipline and try harder in lessons (Simon)
 * At the end of next year I hope to go to the Army College in Yorkshire where I can go to learn everything we do at school plus many more things that would help me do my job effectively as I do want to join the armed forces (Taylor)
