newsletter no.16 - aug 2007 - Work Experience Students help out at National Trust

My Name is Christy Joshua; I am currently a year 12 Academic student at Prince Andrew School.   This year I finished my AS level courses which were; AS Biology, AS Environment Management, and AS Computing, alongside this I also studied GCSE Business Studies.  I hope to pass these AS course and to go back to study further in the next school year. For the next school year the subjects I would like to study are Biology, Chemistry, Literature and Business Studies.  
Doing work experience at the National Trust Office is something I’ve always enjoyed.  There is always something new to learn about our island.  Not only is there always something to do in the office, but there is also the opportunity to do field work.  I also visited the archives which is fascinating.  I hope doing work experience, will give me an in-sight into which job I would like to do in the future.  I found working at the National Trust interesting, as it helps to build on my current knowledge. I look forward to doing work experience at the National Trust in the near future. 

My name is Michael Peters; I am a student at Prince Andrew School, I am 17 years old and currently studying A-Level and AS Courses. I am doing courses in Biology, Chemistry, Literature, Computing and a GCSE in Business Studies, and will carry on next year to continue these courses. What I hope to achieve from these choices are opportunities, opportunities for jobs that interest me, and give me a brighter future. One of my future goals would be to make it into university, hopefully with the courses that I am studying and what I will be studying should support me in achieving this.
Doing work experience should give me an idea for choosing the right job in the future. I chose to do work experience down the St Helena National Trust so that I could have the experience of what it is like working in the office, and doing field work. I have learnt a lot about the wirebird, the importance of preserving heritage sites and importance of keeping delicate archival material. Having an interest in these topics also makes it easier for me to do this, and hopefully with this knowledge, I personally can make better choices.
