Oaklands College

Our Multi Trades students have been putting their practical skills into action by creating flower containers for the sensory garden at Springfield.

Made from scrap and recycled materials, the project showcases creativity, sustainability and the positive impact our students can make through hands-on learning. 👏♻️

Our ESOL learners recently took part in their first Hospitality & Catering Enrichment session at The Stables, working alongside Entry Level Hospitality and Catering students in a range of practical activities.

It was fantastic to see students build confidence, develop new skills and support one another throughout the session. A great start to our June enrichment programme! 👏

Students from Animal Management, Carpentry and T Level Construction joined forces with our industry partner Willmott Dixon to design and build a brand-new aviary for Ophelia, our resident owl.

From selecting the design and crafting the panels to installing the finished structure, students gained valuable hands-on experience while showcasing the power of collaboration across different curriculum areas.

A huge well done to everyone involved in creating Ophelia's fantastic new home! 👏

Day 3 at Sibuya Game Reserve🦏

The students visited an anti-poaching dog unit, gaining an insight into the vital role these highly trained dogs play in protecting rhinos and supporting conservation efforts. An incredible opportunity to see first-hand the work being done to safeguard wildlife🙌

This week, our Hospitality & Catering students enjoyed an inspiring visit to Jimmy’s Farm & Wildlife Park. From field-to-table masterclasses with Head Chef Alex Green to meeting rare breeds and exploring conservation, students gained invaluable industry insight👏

Last week, four of our talented Music students visited Jersey Farm Community Centre to deliver a fun and interactive percussion session for local residents, supported by Music lecturer Phil.

The session was a fantastic opportunity for students to share their skills, gain real-world experience and make a positive impact in the community. The feedback was incredible, and everyone enjoyed getting involved with the rhythms and live music!

A huge well done to our students for representing Oaklands College so brilliantly.

Day 2 at Sibuya Game Reserve 🌍

Our students continue to explore the reserve, taking in the sights on both safari and boat trips. With smiles all round, they're making the most of every moment😁
