STEM Conference at Cardiff University - Friday 19June 2015
Dear parent
Your son/daughter will be attending a STEM Conference at Cardiff University on Friday 19 June 2015. This will be an extremely valuable experience for all A Level students studying Sciences, Mathematics, Geography and Computer Science. The day is organised around a series of presentations, speakers, practical workshops and exhibitions representing all fields of science, mathematics, astronomy, earth sciences, engineering and computing.
The College has been working very closely with the Mathematics, Engineering and Science Departments at Cardiff University to enhance the curriculum for our students and to provide additional support in these areas. We are extremely fortunate that a STEM Conference is now being organised by the University exclusively for St David’s College students.
There is no cost attached to attending the conference. However students will have to make their own way to Cardiff University and must also find their own way home. We will arrange a meeting and registration point at the start of the day, at lunch time and a final registration at the end of the day.
Please would you complete the enclosed consent form. We also ask that students complete the student’s agreement form and hand both these forms into reception by Friday 30 January 2015 or send by post to Rebecca Clyde, Head of Science. By signing the consent form you are also agreeing to your son/daughter being largely unsupervised on this trip. However, college staff will be attending the sessions and will be available on site throughout the day
The exact time and location for meeting and registration will be given to the students directly before the trip; however the conference is due to run from approximately 8.45 am until 4.30pm. If you have any queries in relation to the conference, please do not hesitate to contact the college number or by email ;, ,
Yours faithfully,
Hilary Griffiths (Assistant Principal)
