Dear All,
Welcome to the final newsletter of the academic year
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all those students that have successfully made it to the end of the academic year and completed all work and placement hours.
Those that are still pushing to finish, keep up the momentum and you will get there Please ensure you are in college to be supported to get over the proverbial finish line. Parents and carers, if you are in any doubt of the current completion status of your young person please do reach out to us.
The department has faced many challenges this academic year I thank you all for your patience during some of these challenges and look forward to working alongside the team to continue forging ahead with improvements.
Please key an eye out for updates about trips, visits and events planned for the next academic year.
Good luck to all our students that have completed their courses and moving onto university and into the world of employment. It has been a pleasure working with you all and I wish you well in all and any ventures.
I would also like to wish Neh Efimba (Lecturer) all the best as she moves on to new ventures at the end of the academic term. Neh is a much valued staff member and will be greatly missed by staff and students alike.
We look forward to welcoming all our student new and progression in the next academic year.
Students - Be good, be careful be safe and look after each other.
Have a safe, sunny and pleasant summer break.
