Yesterday our Level 3 Extended Diploma Performing Arts students had a visit from the team at Legasee Educational Trust along with Private Danny Parsonage to talk about his time in the Aden Emergency.

Danny was just 18 when he was shot serving with the Kings Own Royal Border Regiment but fortunately his own belt buckle saved him from serious injury.

As part of their work experience our Performing Arts students are working on performing the play “SAND” by Alex McSweeney to honour the stories of those who served in the Aden Emergency.

You will be able to watch the performance on Wednesday 2nd December at the University Centre Campus, FY1 4ES!

⭐️ T-LEVEL CONTENT CREATION ⭐️

Yesterday, our first-year T Level Content Creation students had the opportunity to meet with employers ahead of their industry placements next year. This fantastic event was made possible through the hard work and dedication of our team, whose efforts in organising everything were greatly appreciated. ⭐️

It was wonderful to hear such positive feedback from the employers. Every student made an outstanding impression, with employers commenting on their professionalism, talent, and the high standard of their interviews.🤩

In fact, many employers said that selecting students for placements will be an incredibly difficult decision because every candidate demonstrated exceptional potential and interviewed so well.

We are immensely proud of our students and grateful to the employers for their support in helping develop the next generation of media professionals. 🥳
