Guess who? It’s me again. A week of me blogging whilst the
students are busy working on their college work. The past few weeks have been
quite busy within college from “Safer Internet Day”, Valentine’s Day and now we
are looking forward to Sport Relief in March.
Safer Internet Day was held on 9th February
nationally and saw people up and down the country learning and trying to gain a
wider understanding of how the internet can be dangerous. Students gathered in
Conference 5 to watch the harrowing tale of Breck Bednar. Breck Bednar was a 14
year old boy who was murdered after he was groomed online by a gamer he had met
online. The documentary showed the harsh true facts of what can happen on the
internet. Also within college there was a set of boards displaying posters,
which highlight the dangers and give advice of how to remain safe whilst on the
internet. E-Safety is an ongoing issue which can affect anyone regardless of
age, gender or race.
Also during that week the Ambassadors were hard at work
selling chocolate gifts for Valentine’s Day, which I then delivered around
college (I felt like a real life Cupid haha). I was so impressed with the
amount of people who joined in with the fun and bought their special someone a
special treat. I would like to say a massive thank you to the Ambassadors who
helped sell and distribute the Valentine’s gifts and to Tina Preston who worked
alongside me creating the little bags of love.
Now onto events that are coming soon….
Sport Relief is taking place on Friday 18th March,
which helps charities around the UK and other countries make people’s lives a
little bit better. From mental health, homelessness to funding health services
in deprived countries. This year here at the college we are hosting a 1 mile
fun run along Seaton Carew front. Everyone is invited to participate in this
fun run/walk/skip/jump whatever you want just pay a £1 to sign up either at
Student Services or your Form Tutor. Fancy dress is optional but there will be
a prize for the best fancy dress and the fastest time for male and female.
ALSO COMING SOON… THE SOCIAL SPACE IS GOING TO BE REVEALED…
