A huge thank you to Chris from Combat Canine Dog Training for visiting our Level 3 Work Based Animal Care students this week to deliver an insightful careers talk. Students heard all about Chris’ journey from working with dogs in the Army to running a successful dog training and home boarding business. They also had the chance to meet his latest puppy, Nika, a Border Collie, who definitely stole the show! It was a really informative session that our learners can apply to their current animal training studies. @combatcaninedogservices #AnimalCare #DogTraining #AnimalCareStudents #CareersInAnimalCare #NCGEnterprise

IGNITE AMTD - Under His Eye 👁️ Last month, IGNITE AMTD presented Under His Eye, the final dance performance of the 2025/26 programme, in the Kidderminster College Main Theatre. Inspired by The Handmaid’s Tale, this powerful 50 minute production explored themes of oppression, resistance and resilience through striking choreography and emotionally charged storytelling. Set to the iconic music of Stevie Nicks, Kate Bush and Annie Lennox, the performance completely captivated audiences across all four shows. A huge well done to all of our talented students and staff involved both on stage and behind the scenes. The professionalism, creativity and commitment shown throughout the production was outstanding and a fantastic way to close this year’s dance performance programme 👏 @ignitemusicaltheatre @igniteacting @ignitedance #IGNITE #DancePerformance #MusicalTheatre #PerformingArts #TeamKC
