A Morning Full of Smiles at VOX Cinemas! 🍿💙

Today, our amazing students enjoyed a wonderful trip to VOX Cinemas Fujairah City Centre to watch Toy Story 5, and what a fantastic experience it was!

From the excitement of arriving at the cinema to sharing popcorn, laughter and their favourite movie moments, it was a morning filled with joy, friendship and unforgettable memories. Community outings like these provide valuable opportunities for our students to develop social skills, build confidence and simply enjoy being part of the wider community.

A huge thank you to the wonderful team at VOX Cinemas Fujairah City Centre for helping make our visit such a special one. Your kindness and hospitality are greatly appreciated.

Seeing the smiles on our students' faces reminds us that some of the best learning happens beyond the classroom.

Vocational Training in Action!

Today, our students developed important independent living skills as they learned how to safely operate kitchen equipment and prepare a delicious egg sandwich from start to finish.

Through hands-on vocational training, students build confidence, improve fine motor skills, follow instructions, practise kitchen safety, and gain valuable life skills that support greater independence.

We are so proud of their enthusiasm, teamwork, and willingness to try new things. And of course, they enjoyed tasting the results of their hard work too!

Sweet memories were made during our visit to Co Chocolat!

Our students had an amazing time learning all about the cacao plant and discovering the fascinating journey of how chocolate is made — from bean to bar! They also enjoyed tasting chocolate in its different forms throughout the experience, making the learning even more exciting and interactive.

The factory tour was both educational and engaging, giving everyone a behind-the-scenes look at the chocolate-making process. The highlight of the day was definitely getting hands-on and creating our very own chocolates, complete with designing personalized chocolate covers!

A huge thank you to the team at Co Chocolat for such a fun, creative, and unforgettable experience for our students! 💛
