Some of our learners visited Orchard Nurseries as part of the careers program. This gave them an opportunity to explore careers within horticulture.

They were shown around by the proprietor and discussed aspects of plant care, propagation, careers and progression and the different transferable skills and qualities that the employer looks for in their employees.

To finish off the visit, they were given the opportunity to select and plant their own bulbs.

Thank you to the wonderful team at Orchard Nurseries.

We recently had two gorgeous guinea pigs come to stay with us. Their names are Spirit and Dozer.

They are just 20 weeks old and absolutely love eating dandelions and carrots!

They also took part in a bit of painting whilst with us.

See photos of their tiny little footsteps!

We welcomed back our learners after a very busy summer for our Maintenace Team.

The summer holidays give us around six weeks to complete a number of projects which are required to both maintain and improve our growing school.

With 60 learners now on role and a number of additional staff, there was lots to be done!

Over the six weeks, the following major projects were completed:

School building windows and doors replacement
School building roof refurbishment
New footpaths
Purchase of new laptops for all students
Relocation of teachers’ room
New fencing
New Math classroom
Reception roof repairs
New maintenance vehicle

With the new fantastic improvements, we are looking forward to the term ahead and seeing what our learners achieve.
