Yesterday, our talented Musical Theatre students welcomed local primary school pupils for a special performance and workshop inspired by *K-Pop Demon Hunters*! 🎤✨

The pupils enjoyed watching our students bring the story to life before getting involved in their own interactive workshop, exploring performance skills, movement and creativity.

A huge well done to our Musical Theatre students for delivering such an engaging and energetic experience – you were fantastic ambassadors for the college! 🌟

Behind every grade, every breakthrough moment, and every bit of confidence you've found here at Blackpool Sixth - there's a member of staff who helped make it happen.

Today is Thank a Teacher Day - and that means everyone who supports you. Whether it's a teacher who believed in you, a mentor who kept you going, or any member of staff who's made your time here that little bit better - now's your chance to say it.

Battle of the bands! What an incredible night! 🎉

Over 100 people came through the doors and together we raised a total of over £400 and counting!

A massive thank you to everyone who joined us, to the brilliant bands who performed, to Archie for hosting, and to our tech and estates teams who made the whole evening possible.

Most of all, a huge well done to TEAM NEPAL 26 for all their hard work in making this happen. We're so proud of you! 🙌

Remember this lifesaving advice if you see someone in trouble in the water:

📞 **Phone 999**
🛟 **Float** – tell them to try and float on their back
🦺 **Throw** something to help them float

Over the next few weeks, our students will also be taking part in water safety sessions in college, helping them learn how to stay safe around water and what to do in an emergency.

What a weekend! 🏔️

Our students travelled up to Keswick on Friday and spent two nights in the great outdoors, including a night of wild camping! Over two full days they navigated approximately 20km each day through stunning Lake District terrain.

They've now completed their practice expedition and are fully prepared for their final assessed expedition in July!
