We spent an absolutely fantastic (albeit slightly wet) day at Mote Park, having fun on the row boats and pedalos. After we had all dried out, we had a quick pit stop for lunch and then headed home for a well earned rest.  

For the first time in Attenborough College history, we hosted our very own sports day for year 12 on their last day of term.  Everyone got involved (staff included!) and we had a fantastic morning. Thank you everyone for your enthusiasm and team spirit!

We are really lucky to work in partnership with Canterbury Christchurch University. During enrichement week, they came in to deliver sessions on student finance and budgeting, and personal statement writing. The sessions were really informative and got year 12 thinking about how to spend their student loan wisely!

As part of our PSHCRE programme, we continue to offer sessions around issues that matter and are relevant to our young people. We invited the Schools Consent Project in to explore the issues around consent, sexual activity and the law. A very thought provoking session which year 12 dealt with sensitively and maturely. 

The St John's Ambulance Service offer a really useful training session on 'street first aid'.  It focuses on the sorts of injuries and situations that young people might find themselves in whilst they are on a night out, or out and about with friends.  Whilst we hope they never have to use it, we think this type of First Aid is a really useful skill  for our students to have. 

A big thank you to Lara from the Ebsfleet Development Corporation, who came to deliver a talk on all things apprenticeships. We are very grateful to have Lara as a contact and she has been able to offer our students lots of opportunities this year.
