What's Happening?

Guess who? It’s me again. A week of me blogging whilst the students are busy working on their college work. The past few weeks have been quite busy within college from “Safer Internet Day”, Valentine’s Day and now we are looking forward to Sport Relief in March.

Safer Internet Day was held on 9^th February nationally and saw people up and down the country learning and trying to gain a wider understanding of how the internet can be dangerous. Students gathered in Conference 5 to watch the harrowing tale of Breck Bednar. Breck Bednar was a 14 year old boy who was murdered after he was groomed online by a gamer he had met online. The documentary showed the harsh true facts of what can happen on the internet. Also within college there was a set of boards displaying posters, which highlight the dangers and give advice of how to remain safe whilst on the internet. E-Safety is an ongoing issue which can affect anyone regardless of age, gender or race.

Also during that week the Ambassadors were hard at work selling chocolate gifts for Valentine’s Day, which I then delivered around college (I felt like a real life Cupid haha). I was so impressed with the amount of people who joined in with the fun and bought their special someone a special treat. I would like to say a massive thank you to the Ambassadors who helped sell and distribute the Valentine’s gifts and to Tina Preston who worked alongside me creating the little bags of love.

Now onto events that are coming soon….

Sport Relief is taking place on Friday 18^th March, which helps charities around the UK and other countries make people’s lives a little bit better. From mental health, homelessness to funding health services in deprived countries. This year here at the college we are hosting a 1 mile fun run along Seaton Carew front. Everyone is invited to participate in this fun run/walk/skip/jump whatever you want just pay a £1 to sign up either at Student Services or your Form Tutor. Fancy dress is optional but there will be a prize for the best fancy dress and the fastest time for male and female.
