Happy New Year!  A huge welcome back to our students.  We hope your Christmas holiday was everything you wanted it to be.

 

As you know January is exam time and can be stressful for students. Therefore, as always, we do our best to help you through this tough period.  We started off the morning by offering you a breakfast bar or a piece of fruit, a bottle of water or a cup of tea and a selection of leaflets giving top tips on revising and staying healthy.   In the afternoons we offered quick win it in a minute games to help you decompress and have some fun.  We also invited students to attend a Chocolate Meditation led by Chaplain Gill in the Quiet Room and a Bob Ross Paint Along in the Loft.   Throughout the week we offered Mitigating Circumstances drop ins, online and in person.

 

At the end of the week we celebrated finishing the majority of exams by giving out ‘Celebratory Mocktails’ in the Chancellor’s Mall.  These are always popular and Friday was no exception, our resident mixologists Bill and Jake prepared the mocktails which everyone enjoyed.  It was a lovely end the week.

 

We attending inductions for new January starters and helped students through their academic appeals.  

 

We visited all campuses with our Motivational Mondays Events, focusing on goal setting for the year 2024.
