Student Activities.
By Rhona Noel, Sarah Jackson & Charlie Cotton
'Tis the season… to get involved! After another successful month in November and with Christmas literally around the corner, your activities team have got a variety of Christmas treats in store for you to ensure you are in the Christmas spirit! Be sure to get involved in as much as possible before you go on your well-deserved Christmas holidays at the end of this term! Sign up to our extremely fun and active trip to Rush trampoline park on Wednesday 5 December with transport included and enjoy one hour of fitness before your two weeks of feasting! Last minute gifting or a Secret Santa present to find? We’ve got you covered. Pop along to Beats on Thursday 6 December between 11am-2pm and take part in our very own Christmas Crafts session where you can make some beautiful and personalised gifts and decorations for your friends, family, colleagues, peers or even yourself! Oh no you didn't... OH YES WE DID! Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a trip to a fantastic Panto! This December we will be taking our students to see ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs – The Fairest Panto In All The Land’ starring Brendan Cole at our local theatre - the Wycombe Swan! Some more tickets and dates may be becoming available for this trip so be sure to keep an eye out on the ‘What’s on’ page on the Student’s Union website to be in with the chance of getting yourself a free ticket to this highly anticipated production! As a final Christmassy treat we will be providing you with transport to one of the
largest annual outdoor Christmas events in Hyde Park… Winter Wonderland. All information about this trip will be posted on the ‘What’s on’ page on the Student’s Union website during the first week of December. This is always a popular event so be sure to keep up to date with the website to avoid any disappointment! Why not squeeze in one more training session before the end of term? The fantastic Hilary Lyons will be leading another Public Speaking training course on Friday 7 December. Before you break up or upon your return you may be preparing to present in front of a class? Or do you want to practice speaking in front of an audience? Attending this workshop will provide you with practical tips and advice on public speaking and presenting. This session will help to develop confidence, address nerves and deliver engaging speeches in a friendly environment that will enable you to try out techniques and develop your own personal style. Coming up in January we have sessions in assertiveness and interview skills to get you even more work ready as well as many more great opportunities. Thank you to everyone who has taken part in any of our development activities or skills training sessions this term so far and we look forward to seeing many more of you taking up these free opportunities. Your activities team would like to take this time to wish you a great break, a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and we look forward to welcoming you all back in January.
