Thank you to all of our pupils for their incredible hard work and positivity throughout Module 1!
You have all achieved so much over the last few weeks, and we are extremely proud of the effort you have put into your learning.
Looking ahead, Module 2 promises to be an exciting term full of fun events. We are especially looking forward to our Christmas Craft Fair, where pupils will get to show off their creativity with their amazing products. Alongside the celebrations, we will be continuing our exam preparation as well as keeping a strong focus on developing vital life skills, and working hard to complete our ASDAN coursework modules.
Thank you once again for a brilliant start to the year. Enjoy a well-deserved break, rest up, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back for another fantastic module! :)
Our new product is in the quality-control stages for the Christmas market! Pupils are working on creating the PERFECT fudge, trying out different flavour combinations and researching different brands and packaging designs. Hope you are looking forward to our final product!
Our M@W pupils were lucky to take part in creating a huge art installation! We were tasked to design our own peace doves which will hang from the ceiling of The Painted Hall. We are looking forward to visiting the installation and admiring our hard work!
Our first product 'drop' went incredibly well! Our students worked super hard to create a variety of amazing handmade items - such as bookmarks, personalised keyrings and reed diffusers. Thanks to all who have purchased our products so far! Much more to come!
Our students have been hard at work mastering life-saving skills as part of their ASDAN Lifeskills Challenge in Basic First Aid. This week, the focus was all about staying calm and taking action during a medical crisis.
Students learned the vital DR ABC procedure and practiced exactly what to say when dialing 999 in an emergency.
To put their knowledge into practice, pupils took part in hands-on role-play activities:
Assessing the Scene: Checking for potential dangers and checking for a response.
Airway & Breathing: Learning how to safely open airways and check for breathing.
Hands-on Practice: Putting our classroom skeleton into the recovery position to master correct positioning.
Every single pupil did an incredible job, showing fantastic focus and making sure they delivered each step accurately. We are so impressed with their confidence and dedication to learning these essential skills!
Our pupils have officially launched their latest enterprise project: crafting custom keyrings and handmade jewellery. As part of our ASDAN Employability coursework, the team spent time conducting market research, exploring key workplace roles, and learning how to meet high work-standard criteria.
Yesterday, production officially got underway! After reviewing health and safety protocols and learning how to safely use specialised craft tools, pupils created their very first designs. Every single pupil did a brilliant job, displaying fantastic teamwork, attention to detail, and enthusiasm.
We are incredibly proud of the initial results and cannot wait to share the finished products with you soon. Stay tuned for future updates and product showcases!
Welcome back to another exciting school year in Canterbury class! It has been a wonderful start to the module, and we are delighted to see how quickly all our pupils have settled into their daily routines. A special mention goes to our new students, who have transitioned exceptionally well into our school community.
Our students have already hit the ground running by beginning work on their ASDAN employability coursework. Through this program, they are developing key workplace skills, preparing to participate in business enterprise projects, and learning how to maintain high professional standards.
This term, pupils also selected their weekly option subjects, tailoring their learning to their personal interests and future goals. Options being explored this term include: cosmetology, graphic design, preloved reloved, construction, art and sport.
We are extremely proud of the hard work, enthusiasm, and positive attitudes shown by all our pupils so far, and we look forward to a successful and productive term ahead!
