NEXT STEPS

This booklet contains all the pathways being offered over the three days of Artsbalst. There

are lots of activities for you to choose from, in fact there are 54 Pathways in total!

Please spend time looking through all the activities to make sure that the pathway you

choose is the right one for you.

Pathways are either run over three days or are a mix of different activities in one pathway.

If you choose a three day pathway you will be working with the same group of students in

the same activity over the three days.

If you choose a mixed pathway you will generally be with the same group of students but

trying different activities each day.

The booklet starts with the three day pathways and these are numbered 1 – 31

Pathways from 32 – 54 are the mixed activities options.

The majority of the pathways are open to students in Yrs. 7 – 10, however there are a small

number that are restricted to certain year groups due to the nature of the activity.

Please make sure that you choose a pathway that is open to your year group.

What do I do next?

1) Choose a pathway that you are interested in or that inspires you to try!

2) Complete the preference form, making sure it is fully completed with your name,

tutor group and your 1st 2nd & 3rd choice.

Please remember that places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

3) There is a cost for some of the pathways, so please make sure that your

parent/carer is happy with your choice and signs the preference form.

4) Return your form to the Extended Services/Careers office at the bottom of the LRC.

5) Please DO NOT return any payment with your preference form. We will ask for

payment when you have been allocated your place.

6) Please note you will NOT be able to change your pathway after you have been

allocated a place

We hope you all have a great time at Artsblast 2015!
