The students were taken on a superb guided tour of the College’s excellent facilities, and saw students running their own businesses, designing 3D models for printing, acting as CSIs, producing a range of clothing, running a professional restaurant and organising photo shoots. During an ambitious IT and Media taster session, our students had the chance to use cutting edge architectural software to create 3D models as well as see the power of software such as Photoshop. Students received an information session on how and when to apply, as well as the requisite qualifications and some of the benefits. The day ended with an informative Q and A session. I know our students came away impressed with the vast range of courses on offer and enthused about their broadened range of future study options. Many thanks to Paige Russell for inviting us to visit the College.
