Learner Newsletter

 

 

Introduction

 

Talkback at the college promotes learner views  and feedback and we want to hear from  Course Reps at the Centre Course Rep’s Meeting taking place on Wed 30th November from 12.30pm to 1.30pm in S119/S120.  We will be looking  for feedback on your new Canteen, Safeguarding, Facilities and Security, ILT and Library and other centre resources and services.

 

You will now be looking ahead and focusing on how to access valuable work experience to develop your employability skills. As well as your tutors and LDCs your Careers and Employability Team is based at the entrance to the college and is available to advise and link learners that meet the Career Ready Standards of commitment, behaviour and progress to employers that will offer these exciting opportunities.

 

Each and every one of you aspires to success. To make that aspiration a reality and to give yourself the best chance all you have to do is attend every class on time, every day, ready to learn with a positive attitude.  We will work with you to encourage your ambitions and achievement and recognise your hard work.

This week LDCs will be focusing on drug and alcohol awareness. Learners will read about and discuss some of the effects of drinking too much alcohol including anti-social behaviour and health issues. They will also look at illegal drugs and discuss the link between marijuana and mental health problems.

The SU anti-bullying campaign is now fully underway with posters up all around the college displaying staff and students holding up anti-bullying messages. The SU are now looking ahead to Christmas by preparing for their annual Winter Celebration coming up next month.

Police depend on information from the public in their efforts to keep us all safe and
they are asking anyone who has concerns about online content to report it by clicking

Sports enrichment: We went, we saw, we conquered!
 
Lambeth College sports enrichment participants have truly lived by the famous “Vini, Vidi, Vici” phrase last Wednesday the 23rd of November at Peter’s May Sports Centre, Waltham Forest, where the college football team took part at the London Football Association organised  7-a-side London colleges football tournament. Lambeth College learners formed two teams and both dominated the football pitches. Both teams have demonstrated outstanding team skills, great tactics and very strong enthusiasm. Well done to the college sports ambassadors, players and the College Sports Maker for planning, organising and participating in the event. All college learners are encouraged to join the colleges organised football sessions, games and tournaments. More information is available from Moodle, the college ambassadors and the College Sports Maker.

Stage Business Inspiration Day – Business and ESOL learners perform on stage at the Old Vic Theatre!
 
On Monday 21st November 8 learners from Lambeth College attended the Old Vic Theatre for an Inspiration Day, aimed at improving their confidence, team work and employability skills. The learners were split into other groups with learners from 4 other schools and Colleges. worked in small groups and performed on the main stage! The presentations went really well and the learners did us proud as a College! Following the presentations by the learners, a BBC Radio One DJ, Gemmy Cairny delivered a session to the group about her career journey and then answered questions about her role in the BBC and as an entrepreneur, setting up her own fashion business.
 
On speaking to the learners at the end of the day, they all agreed that they enjoyed the day, and although they felt nervous on stage were really pleased they had done it and achieved experience in public speaking.
 
The group will continue to work on the project after Christmas so watch this space for more news about Stage Business!
