Year 12 Reference Writer Request Form
Year 12 Reference Writer Request Form
All Year 12 students need at least ONE reference letter to support their university applications, so everyone MUST complete the Reference Writer Request form.
Why so early?
We need time to process your requests and teachers need time to write the letters (especially teachers who are leaving at the end of the school year)!
The 'Rules'
The reference writer must be one of your current Year 12 HL or SL teachers. It cannot be someone who only teaches you EE or ToK.
The form was due on 24 Feb (we're still waiting on 5 students to submit!)
Year 12 - Have you booked a meeting with your FE Counsellor?
Year 12 - Have you booked a meeting with your FE Counsellor?

"Lots of meaningful information on how to do detailed research on different universities and what to look out for in college applications"
- Max Yeung, 11.6
Over the past two weeks the FE team have been working with the Year 11 students during their Science of Wellbeing classes. We use these classes to get students thinking about FE-related topics such as what students look for in universities and different university systems around the world. We also provide them with tools to help them focus their research.
We hope that the students found it helpful. Please ask your child to share with you what they learnt!
