Sustainability, organic farming, reducing the carbon footprint – these are the buzzwords of the moment where the environment is concerned. Indeed, if we are sensible, we should not consider them as buzzwords but as beacons that guide our choices. This is what the Year 2Ys realised: kitchen scraps can be tomorrow’s food supply. In an…

Our students have now been at College for their first full week, and we are overjoyed to see them settling in and adjusting to their new environments so well. The classes have been in full swing, learning about routines and rules but also already engaged in fun learning activities. From building new friendships, solidifying old…
