Numeracy Week is fast approaching, due to be held week commencing 7^th December.  During Numeracy Week there will be a number of events and competitions taking place – all with cash prizes! Further information to follow very soon.

As part of Numeracy Week we will be holding a Daily Puzzle of the Day Competition on the run up to and during Numeracy Week – where students are asked to solve a different puzzle each day that will be displayed around College. There will be a daily prize of £10 – with one new winner each day.

The Puzzle of the Day competition will start next week and the first puzzle will be displayed on all classroom doors on Monday so please look out for this (and for the 9 others that will follow).  All entries should be submitted in the LRC by the end of each day.

Good Luck!

 

LRC Opening Friday 21st and Monday 24th Nov

The LRC will be open this Friday 21st November and Monday 24th November for study and revision from 09.30 until 15.30.

However, please be aware that on Friday 21st November there will be no PC access in the morning - we will however be loaning laptops for use in the LRC during this time.

LRC Laptops

As many of you will have noticed we are struggling to loan fully charged laptops out during the afternoons.

Therefore we have decided to limit the access to laptops in the LRC from 12.00pm until 1.00pm in order to allow us to charge them fully for the afternoon sessions.

 We apologise for the inconvenience.

Half Term Opening

Thanks to everyone that participated in Literacy Week last week - the event was a huge success and lots of lucky students won some cash prizes!  You can look out for the Word of the Day Story Competition winner in the forthcoming student newspaper.

Half term is fast approaching - this term has gone so fast!  Just to make you all aware that the LRC will remain open over half term, but with reduced hours.  So we will be open from 9.30am every day, closing at 3.30pm.  You must remember to bring your student ID card with you during the holidays and sign in at the main reception first.
