Experience Day on Thursday 20th July is the next important step in securing your child’s place at St Helens College.
We highly recommend that your child attends this event, which runs from 9:00am–3:00pm (check‑in is 9:00–9:30am).
During the day, your child will fully immerse themselves in college life, spending extended time in their chosen subject area and taking part in realistic, practical activities that reflect what studying the course is really like. Experience Day is designed to help your child feel confident and assured in their decision, so they know they are choosing the right course before enrolling on GCSE results day.
