Activities at the CollegeIn addition to your academic studies, you will participate in our Activities Programme. We run a wide range of activities, catering for all tastes. Some of the courses on offer are accredited, leading to a qualification, and some are just for fun! You may participate in a sporting activity (see following page) or one of the many other activities on offer. You will gain a tremendous amount from participating in activities at College. Those who interview for jobs, training schemes and places in higher education want evidence of wider achievements as well as good examination performance. They want to know about leadership skills, breadth of experience and enthusiasm. You can gain all of these attributes here at Peter Symonds. Any activities you take part in will be logged and your tutor will use details of the skills you have developed when writing your UCAS/Employment reference. Activities Currently on Offer in 2012 -2013 (A few of our favourites)Global Rock Dance Challenge A nationwide competition, each team creates a short dance/drama-based performance. Peter Symonds won Southampton Heat One in 2013. With the group creating their own theme, props, set and so on this is a fantastic, exciting team challenge. Robotics Students spend two terms building a robot equipped to meet a series of competitive challenges. Finished robots have on-board artificial intelligence, are equipped with a vision system and are independently powered. Practical Wildlife Conservation Students help to manage an 18 acre woodland nature reserve to increase its value for wildlife such as dormice, willow tits and rare fauna. They learn a range of practical skills that would be valuable in a future career in conservation. 7Radio Presented throughout the day, 7 Radio provides the best mix of music and gives students an opportunity to gain some experience of broadcasting and journalism. Libra Foundation Peter Symonds’ relationship with the Libra Foundation has resulted in over £3,000 being raised by students for the charity. Each summer students visit projects and work with disabled and underprivileged Romanian children. Choir The College Choir is open to all. Practising each week the choir performs at some of the main College concerts during the year, including the Christmas concert in Winchester Cathedral. Activities on offer in 2013
* Courses gaining external accreditation SportSport is a key part of life at Peter Symonds for many students. As a College, we have a long sporting history and regularly achieve success in league, cup, county and national competitions. If you wish to compete competitively, you will need to attend team trials during Enrolment Week. However, if you enjoy your sport but do not want to play within a College team, you can pick up one of our recreational sports. Our new College Sports Maker will be setting up many more recreational sports in the future to increase participation and enjoyment among students.
