OK - here's the reflection under way !

Gwilym has two mates at church. Both have recently switched from ordinary 'academic' collège to do a more "vocationally" aimed course. One friend anticipates working in care of the sick or elderly. Another has been considering something in building or in baking. Gwilym has had this kind of possibility in mind - he's mentioned it as we've filled in our fiche de liaison. However when raising it with his form teacher the reply has been 'No, don't do that. Aim to get into troisième and do a bac here and then university.'

However, part of our plan for the future is that Gwilym capitalise on his technology and his English and consider heading towards commerce or information technology. Yesterday I was talking with the father of one of the lads who's switching school and he told me about the college and where it is based. It's on our tram line. I looked at the website. It looks like a good place, where there's various directions to explore, including information technology and commerce. There's also a European section which majors in English.

So today I will ring the office of the place and explore what the possibilities would be. If the place is oversubscribed, or whatever, then we'll know that's not for us. However, who can tell ?
