Extended Learning

Photoshoots to complete at home

One important aspect in year 10 and 11 is to make sure you are able to take photos outside of school, in your own time. All of your Extended learning tasks will be to do photoshoots and bring them into school to use in lessons.
It would be beneficial for you to purchase a memory stick so you can download your photos at home, save them onto the memory stick and bring them in. You can also save them
to your one drive or email them to yourself.
If you take the photos on your phone, you must
download them at home and bring them in.
