Keep up to date with what's going on at the College. This Bulletin will be regularly updated with key dates and information we think parents need to know.
09/02/12: The College is not closed, but if we do have to close because of bad weather, we switch to Moodle for students' learning. Moodle is our virtual learning area and all our Moodle courses will be providng an activity for students to complete if the building closes. These will be available after 11:00 a.m, on the day of closure, on Moodle. Students will need to visit each of their subjects on Moodle, find the activity labelled online lesson, and complete the task. So Lessons continue, but they continue online.
06/02/12: The College did not have to close because of snow today - thank goodness! However, if inclement weather does close the College, we will post this news up on the College website home page and via the College Facebook page. This will always be done by 6.30am, so if there is no notice up by that time you can assume we are open as usual.
06/02/12: The Exam Statements of Entry is now available for students to view on via the ILP (Individual Learning Plan). Students MUST check this statement and sign it off. The deadline for checking and signing off is Friday 2nd March.
01/02/12: Advanced notice - term dates for the 2012/2013 academic year are available and they have thrown up a discrepancy between dates for October half-term in Birmingham and Solihull. Half-term is normally during the same week for both areas, but in 2012 it won't be. Please note, the College is having half-term from 22 - 26 October 2012 inclusive. You can see all term dates for 2012/2013 now.
26/01/12: The College operates a bursary fund to support volunteer projects taken during a Gap year. Called the Terry Kitson Award, funds are awarded to students to help fund charitable projects in the UK and abroad. Past students have visited countries like China, India, Brazil, South Africa, Romania and many other places, where they have taught English, helped build schools, provided health and hygiene aid and provided food aid for under privileged and sick children. Students must put together a presentation to persuade a panel of judges that their project is worthy of funding. To find out more students are invited to attend a meeting on 8 February at 1.30pm in Kitson building, Room K310.
24/01/12: Next Monday (30 January), mid-year AS courses start. This is for students who want to take another qualification to boost their applications to university. For more information, read about these Other Courses.
16/01/12: On Thursday 9 February, the College will be staying open late for an Information Evening. Similar to Open Day, this will be a chance for prospective students and their families to visit and ask questions. We will be open from 5.00pm until 8.00pm (last entry at 7.30pm). The Principal will be giving talks at 5.30pm, 6.30pm and 7.30pm.
