More than just a Freshers’ Fair... Discovering enrichment activities to connecting with employers and support services, our students got a taste of the many opportunities available at Southwark College.  From fitness and wellbeing to volunteering, careers advice and student support, the event was all about helping students make the most of their college experience from day one. A huge thank you to all of the organisations that joined us and helped make the event such a success. Here’s to new connections, new experiences and an exciting year ahead.

We kicked off the week by welcoming Belinda Mindset to campus, where she delivered an inspiring and engaging session for our Hairdressing students 🥰 Throughout the workshop, students explored the differences between mindset and mental health, fixed and growth mindsets, and the impact of positive and negative self-talk. They also learned about stepping outside their comfort zones, building resilience, practising gratitude and affirmations, as well as useful techniques for journaling, problem-solving, stress management and overall wellbeing. Our students were extremely grateful to Belinda for her time and we can't wait to see her back at WLC soon! 💛

To celebrate National Fitness Day, our Level 3 Sports students welcomed Frank Hughes, Chairman of Skelmersdale United Football Club for an insightful guest talk about the football industry ⚽☺️ Franked shared the club's history, reflected on previous successes, and provided a valuable overview of the day-to-day running of a football club. The session offered our students an excellent opportunity to broaden their understanding of the wide range of careers available within sport, including roles such as professional athletes, football coaches, club chairpersons and many others. A huge thank you to Frank for providing an engaging and informative talk to our students!

T Level success: Meet Elissa! Elissa Jones achieved a fantastic A in her first-year T Level Core Component! 👏 Elissa chose the T Level in Early Years because she knew she wanted to pursue a career in teaching. As part of her course, she completed an industry placement in a childcare environment, giving her the opportunity to put her learning into practice while developing her confidence, communication, teamwork and planning skills. Her placement also confirmed her ambition to become a primary school teacher. Elissa is now continuing into her final year before hoping to progress to university to study Primary Teaching. 💬 “If you want to study a course which combines learning with practical experience, a T Level would be for you.” Read Elissa’s full T Level success story on our website: https://orlo.uk/ut016 #TLevels #TLevel #EarlyYears #StudentSuccess #TeamKC
