A Level Media open evening - volunteers wanted!

Open evening is (fairly obviously) an evening where Long Road opens itself up to students who may wish to come and study here, along with their parents. It gives opportunities for parents (and students) to ask questions about the course, and to meet current students. Of course, for this to happen, we need students.

Open evening happens on Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th October. It runs from 5-9pm on both nights, though there is no obligation to sign up to both nights, and definitely no obligation to do the full four hours. Wednesday tends to be slightly busier, so we'd rather you sign up to that one, but it's completely up to you.

There are a number of bribes benefits for students who choose to volunteer:


  • Excellent experience, to mention on a CV or UCAS application
  • Enrichment points
  • A range of snacks an refreshments
  • A free Long Road T-shirt 
  • The warm fuzzy feeling you'll get from promoting your favourite subject
  • People skills
  • The eternal gratitude of your Media teacher


Volunteers can be first years or second years. You can even do an hour of Media and an hour of promoting another subject, but some departments get weird about this. 

For more information, please talk to either Michael or Jack.
