Cocurricular Micro credentials- Open to submissions
Cocurricular Micro credentials- flexible and remote learning.
Term 2 2020
As we enter a term of unprecedented change and uncertainty, I feel it is timely to promote some opportunities for learning and personal growth that we may have not previously considered; hence the Beaumaris SC Cocurricular Micro credentials.
Whilst some alarmists will speak of lost learning, our opportunities for learning and growth have not diminished, they have merely shifted. For many of us this may look quite different, but out of challenge comes opportunity.
Please find below a list (not exhaustive) of the Beaumaris SC Co curricular Micro credentials that students can be awarded during Term 2.
