Dear «Forename»

We are looking forward to seeing you at the College Induction Day on Friday 30th June.

The Induction Dayis part of the transition from leaving school to starting at college and represents an important part of your college year. Our Induction is designed to:

  • Ensure that your course choice is as informed as possible.
  • Encourage you to sample some subjects that you might not have previously considered.
  • Give you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with the college site.
  • Inform you of the arrangements for the beginning of term.
  • Familiarise you with the opportunities available to get involved in college life.

The programme for the day is built around the subjects that you picked when you came for interview. In addition you will have the opportunity to sample another subject that you might not have considered before. You will be given a timetable for the lessons at your first tutorial and your Induction tutor will guide you through the programme for the day.

By the end of the day we expect you to have attended all of your scheduled lessons and completed an initial skills assessment which will help us to invite the correct support for you at TRC. The Taster Session in the last 45 minutes of the day and Careers Presentations are optional but we strongly advise you to use these to ensure that the subjects you are considering are appropriate for you and to make sure that you experience the full range of courses you might be interested in.

Arrangements for the day

  • Please check travel and other arrangements and ensure that you allow time to find your room ready for a prompt start at 9.00 am in your tutor base.
