2. Staff from the Guide Dogs for the Blind came to
College again recently to train Health and Social Care
students. The training taught students a few simple
sighted guiding techniques, which means they will feel
ready and confident to help blind and partially –sighted
people if needed.
The 2½ hour practical session showed the difficulties of
going up or down stairs and steps, getting through door-
ways and taking a seat. For more information please

On Saturday (yes – Saturday!) 25th
May, the following
students completed the Emergency First Aid at Work, an ac-
credited 6 hour course:-
Menelik Ekani-Robinson (Sport)
Billie Johnson (Childcare)
Zakariah Khan (Childcare)
Sathurna Satgunarajah (Art & Design)
Andrew Steadman (Sport)
Farihah Ullah (Art & Design)
They all enjoyed and benefitted from
the course and interacted well with
each other, and particularly liked
practising bandaging and resuscita-
tion techniques on each other.
They all agreed that the course was
very interesting; well worth coming in
during the weekend for, and, as
Zachariah (Zach) commented, ‘…you
learn so much from this.’
Well done to all of them – their certificates are coming soon. Enrichment Activity

3. I took the Life and Living Skills to the Lee Valley Boat Centre to drive motorboats on the river Lee at Broxbourne.
We had a fantastic time in the glorious sunshine. We got to see lots of wildlife. The students were great and learned about
boating etiquette and how to be safe on the river and around water. By Kathryn Lowe
Alex Munro, Ryan Branch, Ryan Lowe, Zoe Sheret, Matthew Brown, Lee Ewin, and Louis South
Sinan Sahin and
Jaysharee Kakkad from
the Department for
Works and Pensions (the
Job Centre) visited the
college to give talks to
three groups of Level 2
Secretarial students and
Health and Social Care
students about the world
of work.
They began by talking
about choices available to young people after finishing
school , going on to university; seeking apprenticeships;
choosing to volunteer or doing paid work.
They advised students of good job-seeking sources, such as
the Internet and recruitment, and they gave tips on
speculating job opportunities. Students took away with them
a comprehensive list of useful job search websites.
They also emphasised the importance of maintaining a CV
relevant to every job applied for.
The students that attended the talk completed evaluation
forms.
They all agreed that the presenter kept them interested in
the topic; that it was a good use of their time and that they
learnt something from the talk.
Comments from the students:-
'Thanks for the advice' , 'I've really enjoyed listening', ''Really
good, answered many of my questions' , 'The presenter kept
me interested in the topic'

5. O
n Monday the 20th
May,
for an end-of-term
treat, 30 students, from
different courses, went
on a coach trip, organised by
Enrichment, to Thorpe Park.
A bonus to the day was that it didn’t
rain! The students agreed that they
enjoyed the trip – they were glad
that they didn’t have to queue up
long for the rides; some students had
a chance to be thrilled by Saw, Colos-
sus and Nemesis twice. Brave souls!
All credit to the students for being
such a great group. Their good
nature, (even while waiting for the
coach that was half an hour late!)
and behaviour were a credit to the
college. It was a pleasure to be on the
trip with them. By Sally Curtis

Food Safety
Twenty students from L3 Travel and Tourism, took the Food Safety course, accredited by RSPH (Royal Society for the Promotion of Health).
The course is ideal for anyone working, or thinking of working, in a restaurant or café. It covers food hygiene; risk assessment; moving and
handling food, fire safety and noise.
The course involves 4 hours tuition and a short exam afterwards. All the students enjoyed the course and passed. As the Food Safety qualifi-
cation is recognised nationally, it would enhance your CV and could improve your career prospects!
