Ulverstone Secondary College or Ulvie High? by Simon Dent – Principal Since transitioning to Ulverstone Secondary College in 2017 some people could be excused, or perhaps confused, for thinking we are no longer a high school? The simple answer is yes, we still operate like the high school we have always been, with years 7, 8, 9 & 10 attending, but now with the inclusion of years 11 and 12 as well. Hence the name change to reflect the year 7-12 nature of our college. Read more at: https://lnkd.in/gmpkJ5j6

What's the difference between ED and EA? 🎯 Early Decision (ED) Binding Agreement: If you’re accepted, you must attend that school. Deadline: Usually November 1. BUT Webb Institute, Meredith College and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have slightly earlier dates as do some others. ED is ideal for students who have a clear first-choice school and are ready to commit. 🎯 Early Action (EA) Non-Binding: You can apply to multiple schools and don’t have to commit until the regular decision date (usually May 1). Deadline: Often November 1 or November 15, depending on the institution. EA allows you to hear back early while keeping your options open! #CollegeAdmissions #EarlyDecision #EarlyAction #ApplicationDeadlines #CollegeBound #HigherEd #LinkedInEducation #StudentSuccess #CareersGuidance #Careers #Futures #FutureU #UniversityChoice #UniversityTips #UniversityAdvice

"There is a real advantage gained being a leader in a school, being at the top of your Prep School and also being in a place that has a rich co-curricular programme..." It was great to welcome Phil Mann from Wellington College on Friday to speak to our parents about the broader senior school admissions process and the benefits of a Year 9 entry. We feel very strongly about the benefits of Years 7 and 8 in a Prep School at St George's School Windsor Castle, which is why, under Henry Knight's incredible leadership (with two headships underpinning his experience), our Senior Prep Faculty has been a real focus for us. Not least because the young children in our schools need to develop a very specific set of skills to adapt to disruptive workplaces and a consistency of global change when they leave school in the next 15 years. A large piece of work by the World Economic Forum, 'Future of Jobs Report 2023' sets out the skills needed. 83 international companies from 45 economies contributed to this report. In a world where the only consistency is change, the following skills are seen as the most important: Analytical thinking Creative thinking Resilience Flexibility and agility Empathy Social influence Active listening My combining our High Performance Learning Advanced Cognitive Attributes and values, attitudes and attributes, with our Pre-Senior Baccalaureate assessment framework, alongside the philosophy of the International Baccalaureate, our Years 7 and 8 programme empowers students to think deeply about these skills. There is evidence that very young children are starting to hit key developmental milestones later. If this is the case, and they 'grow up' (or think they do) much younger a few years later, then there is a precious window to develop these skills within a nurturing setting where mistakes can be made and true growth and confidence realised. Amidst the complexity of educating for the future, IAPS schools are well placed to nurture these 'real world ready; skills, and this includes Years 7 and 8 - where our students not only think deeply, but begin to test them out as young leaders.

From WSJ: "California leads all states in providing social mobility to its college students, according to the 2025 Wall Street Journal/College Pulse rankings. Fifteen of the 20 schools doing the most to help college students climb up the socioeconomic ladder are in California, including all of the top five. The University of California, Merced, which came in at No. 18 in the overall ranking for the best colleges, took the top spot, followed by four California State University campuses: Stanislaus, San Bernardino, Fresno and Los Angeles." As a wine industry professional, I'm thrilled CSU Fresno and UC Davis are at the top of the list. And the comment in this article about how hardworking Fresno Bulldogs are is very true.

But of course!
