AS STUDY SKILLS DAY MON 10 FEB 14

 

 

An AS Study Skills Day is being organised by The Royal Geogrpahical Society on Monday 10th Feb 2014. The day will include a number of workshops on key AS topics, which you can select to attend. There will be a charge of £10, which included lunch. Because we are members of the RGS this represents a considerable saving on the full price of £25 per person.

A letter is available on the G Drive for you to download, print, complete and return, with £10 cash or a cheque made payable to "Crown Woods College".

When more details and a programme of events becomes available, I will publish on the blog.
