Trips, events and projects

operation christmas child

Our students take part in a variety of activities, such as fancy dress days and cake baking to raise money for children in need and similar organisations. 

Yearly pantomime trip

Our students organise a trip to the pantomime at the Buxton Opera House as part of their learning.

They have to work together to ensure they deliver the project successfully by organising themselves and communicating as a team.

This encourages the students to understand and become aware that teaching and childcare careers require specific skills. For eaxmple you'll need to work well with people and communicate clearly. Such projects help to develop the employability skills that you'll need in the future.

Operation Christmas Child

Our students get involved with the charitable organisation 'Operation Christmas Child'. This involves putting gifts in a decorated shoe box for children overseas who live in very poor areas and do not receive anything at christmas time.

This encourages a safe and caring environment in which we study within and allows us to do something memorable for other communities who need our support.
