During the February half term, three Sixth Formers spent a week in Düsseldorf for the return leg of the Düsseldorf Work Experience Exchange programme. Having hosted in January, it was great for the students to reconnect with their exchange partners and immerse themselves in speaking German for the week with their host families and enjoying the build up to the Karneval festivities.
The highlight however was definitely the work experience. James spent his placement at the St Vinzenz Hospital, accompanying the doctors on their A&E rounds and joining several surgical operations as an observer, reaffirming his commitment to becoming a doctor himself. Max spent his week at the Deutsche Bank, where he impressed his supervisor with the understanding of the finance industry which he has acquired through his study of Economics. Nayan, meanwhile, was able to learn first-hand how a top hotel is run during his placement at the Me and All Hotel, and put his German skills to good use interacting with both colleagues and guests. All three students made an excellent impression at their placements, gaining invaluable insight into the world of work whilst honing their language skills.
Thank you to Mrs Hanlon and Mr Walters who visited the students at their placements during the week.
