This year, the campus was equally as busy. Many of the pupils visited and enjoyed a variety of workshops with our pupils, some of which involved making bird boxes and floating flower gardens. Another group of ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ pupils were tasked with sorting through all of the donations to , ready for our Sixth Form students to take them out to Zambia this summer. The generosity of the ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ community has been astounding, and these donations will make a huge difference to the staff and children out in Mkushi.ÌýÌý

Community Action Day offers our pupils the chance to connect with and give back to their local communities. Pupils develop key skills in teamwork, self-awareness, and independence, all the while forming new friendships and making a real difference to lives beyond the College.
