The Staff at Camoy's presented the students with a gift and a certificate for all their hard work this year. The Shopping Buddies team have had a fantastic year and have made amazing progress. Well done to everyone ❤️

💙 Thank You, Project Indi!

It was wonderful to welcome Charlotte, Communications and Fundraising Assistant, and Alan, Charity Services Manager from Project Indi to our recent Thank You Event.

Over the past few years, a number of our learners have had the opportunity to support Project Indi through their Vinted Shop, helping to raise valuable funds while developing important workplace and employability skills. Their contribution has made a real difference, and we are incredibly proud of all they have achieved.

Thank you to Project Indi for joining us and for recognising the hard work and dedication of our students. We’re delighted that the partnership continues to provide meaningful opportunities for our learners to gain experience and confidence for the future.

We look forward to working together again and welcoming everyone back in the new academic year! 😊

Charlotte, Communications and Fundraising Assistant and Alan, Charity Development Officer, were invited to join Newfriars as part of their thank you event. Some of the students from Newfriars Collage over the last few years have had the opportunity to help raise money for Project Indi by supporting our Vinted Shop. They’ve made such a huge impact and contribution and have learnt skills towards their future endeavours,

We had a lovely time! A HUGE thank you to Newfrairs for their hospitality and we thank all the students for their incredible work. We can't wait to welcome them back in the new school year 💚

🎤 Final voice typing session of the year!

It’s been fantastic to see our learners embrace voice typing technology, building their confidence and developing their digital skills throughout the year. During today's session, learners practised using their voices to turn ideas into words, creating imaginative stories, film scripts and even concepts for their own TV shows.

Voice typing has helped learners express their creativity, improve communication skills and explore new ways of bringing their ideas to life. We’re incredibly proud of the progress they have made and the enthusiasm they have shown.

What a brilliant way to finish the year—celebrating creativity, technology and learner achievement! 🌟💻🎬📖

The Annual Students vs Staff Football Match! ⚽

After weeks of build up and anticipation, the big game finally arrived this afternoon. This time around, football came home for the staff, as they narrowly edged the game which finished 4-4, but was won in a penalty shoot-out! A huge well done to everyone who take part.

Harry Kane and England - the staff are here with tips for taking quality penalties, if you need them! 😂
