Beyond Limits http://www.beyond-limits.org Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:19:53 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Welcome to our new website http://www.beyond-limits.org/latestnews/welcome-to-our-new-website/ http://www.beyond-limits.org/latestnews/welcome-to-our-new-website/#comments Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:36:43 +0000 john http://www.beyond-limits.org/?p=1521 As you can see our new Education website is well under way in its re-construction. We have left the website live so you can see the progression as we move on, so any suggestions please let us know. In recent months we have progressed at an extremely positive rate within each of Beyond Limits Training elements so please bare with us. The aim of this website is to act as a completely free resource site for Teachers, Instructors and students with many resources to be added very shortly for everyone to download. There will be a free forum so everyone can access information and discuss topics.

If you have any resources for any subject whether it be a vocational course or a core subject please send it as an attachment to info@beyond-limits.org so everyone can use. If you are interested in any courses please also email info@beyond-limits.org

You will also find links to our other websites at the top of the page. Last but not least I would like to say thank you to everyone that has supported the recent changes to Beyond Limits Training and look forward to working with you all again very soon.

The highlights of the course were first time passes for all students on the Heart Start element and The Happy Camper exercise which all students thoroughly enjoyed. The only downside experienced was during the Orienteering, sadly a number of students removed the Check Point Markers.
The Culmination was the Student Team Presentation which went particularly well.

Blakemores Cash & Carry

Birmingham Children’s Hospital

Wensbury Fire Station

Beyond Limits 7 Day Accelerated Learning Course at the school

Teaching Assistant placements within the school.

 

The students, Poppie Platt & Charlotte Bloxam, will be collecting the evidence by visiting the various sites to produce the newspaper, this will be distributed to all Year 10s on completion. They will also be delivering a presentation on the subject to the whole year group and staff on Thursday 21 July 2011.

We have been privvy to a number of their excellent photographs prior to publication & presentation to their audience – take a look!!

Beyond Limits would like to wish Poppie & Charlotte the very best of luck with their project and also thank them for taking the photographs and allowing their use on this website.
