Textbook Recycle

Aren’t you relieved that GCSEs are over? So why keep your old textbooks as a reminder of a

difficult time?

Instead, donate them to the school to help younger students and benefit the environment!

Please bring in any old GCSE textbooks or revision guides that you have and either donate them

in the glass corridor during lunchtime this Friday, or put them in the donation box outside the

Lecture Theatre.

Thank you so much for your help!

WHS Careers Question of the Week

World of Work; What is a Trade Union?

• A trade union is a group of employees who join together to maintain

and improve their conditions of employment.

• The typical activities of trade unions include providing assistance and

services to their members, collectively bargaining for better pay and

conditions for all workers, working to improve the quality of public

services, political campaigning and industrial action.

• Nearly seven million people in the UK belong to a trade union.

• Most trade unions are independent of employers but have close

working relationships with them.
