Higher Admin – Meeting Role Play
Our Higher Admin and IT classes were turning their theory into reality this month . They had been learning about professional meetings and took part in a meeting role play - booking out the Marr College meeting room at the front of the school . Students took on responsibilities of chairperson and secretary and had a professional meeting to discuss the course - with an agenda and minutes of course ! This will support their understanding of that theory topic and hopefully help them to see that what they learn can be put into practice in the world of work .
Night Before Christmas Campaign
Well done to Morgan and Bethan for organising the Night Before Christmas Donation this year .
The Night Before Christmas Campaign makes up Christmas Eve boxes for vulnerable children and also donates to people who are homeless . We would like to say a massive thank you to all the staff and students who donated a gift to a child this year .
