One of the ideas bought forward was a week off timetable to simulate a week at work.

We will be discussing this further to develop ideas at the next student council, so if you have an ideas make sure you tell your tutor prefect.

Your tutor representative has a questionnaire for your tutor group to complete. Please be honest and offer any further ideas to them.
