Our Univeristy to Blackpool & Flyde FE & HE Campus 19.06.2010

Thank you to everyone who attended our first University visit to Blackpool & Fylde FE/HE College.
For those of you who could not make it, we looked at courses in Catering, Motor Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Early Years and paths to Teaching, Health Care, Drama, Travel and Tourism, Biology, and Hair and Beauty.
Not only that... we got to observe a top chef cook pancakes (and eat them!)
Catering students have gone onto employment in top London restaurants (including Gordon Ramsays!), and one has even served the Queen, an inspiration to us all!

"Blackpool college was just an exciting place. At first I thought a tour would be boring but it was fantastic! I loved everything especially the cookery and bakery areas. I would love to come to this fantastic college!!! :-)" Girl, 12.

"The tour of the college was very interesting. My children enjoyed themselves. The college staff who led the tour were very friendly." Mother of Girl (13) and Boy (10).

Please take a look at our photos from the day.

Our next University visits are on 21st August at Myerscough FE/HE College and UCLAN on 25th August (and again on 28th October), where we will be taking part in a Law & Criminology workshop in their courtroom.
Let us know if you want to come along. Places are filling up fast!

Hair & Beauty Workshop at Primet High - VERY SUCCESSFUL!

Colne Primet High School hosted a very successful Inspiring Communities Hair & Beauty Workshop today which was attended by over 50 young people and their parents.
The workshop had demonstrations from The Bodyshop, Christian Smith Hairdressers, Craven College Hair & Beauty, Robert Brannon Hairdressers and Nelson & Colne College Hair & Beauty. Young People's Service were on hand to give out Hair & Beauty career information and advice to all the young people.

Potential young hairdressers and beauty therapists enjoyed many activities including having their nails done, hair styled, hand massage, Bodyshop demonstrations and talks about the business/career with freebie gift bags.

A big thank you to Gemma Beveridge (Colne Primet) and Jen Gore (Inspiring Communities) for all your hard work, enthusiasm and encouragement on this!

Army style event was huge success!

Unfortunately we don't have any pictures of the very successful Army style event that took place last night in conjunction with Pendle Leisure Trust, Primet High School and the Inspiring Communities team.

The event was well attended and over 20 young people were encouraged to do Army style exercises, climb cargo nets and take part in the activities. The event was aimed at encouraging young people to take part in more extra-curricular activities and sign up to join the Inspiring Communities programme.

The event is taking place on Tuesdays between 3.30pm - 4.30pm at Primet High School for the next 4 weeks until 13th July. For more information contact Warren Schofield on 01282 868743 or Gemma Beveridge c/o Primet High School on 01282 871276.
