This Week in College

This week the college is very busy with several events that are happening nationwide:

·         Remembrance Day Service 10th November

On Tuesday morning at 10.30am in Conference Room 1 we will be paying our respects to those who have being killed as a result of warfare. Poppies are on sale from reception – if you would like to show your respect to those who have fallen. Remembrance Day services will be held across the country on Wednesday and a 2 minute silence will be observed to remember those who have tragically died during times of war.

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.


·         Children in Need Friday 13th November

The Children in Need campaign takes place on Friday with various events and fundraising going on across the UK. College will be holding a Wickedly Wet Assault Course to help raise money, whilst having fun. Grab 5 friends and come join the fun of the course but make sure you bring a towel, as there may be a slight chance of getting a bit wet.

Children in Need Appeals have been taking place since 1927 but the first televised appeal was in 1955! Since 1980 they have raised over £600 million! This money goes towards helping provide grants to projects around the UK who aim to provide services to children and young people who are disadvantaged.
