College News
Last week for two days, Acrobat TV a professional filming company came down to the College to record a special video of students who are part of the Dovestones Department for people with special educational needs. The students were filmed in our greenhouse, learning how to pot plants, in the sports hall taking part in exercise activities, in the life skills room making sandwiches for their weekly sandwich shop and also in a physiotherapy session.
Once produced, the video is going to be to be used to help next years students learn how to do these activities. It is a good way for the students to learn rather than just reading from a piece of paper and is much more exciting! As promised last week, here are two of the photos from the filming itself in the greenhouse and life skills room.
In other news, a summer camp for teenagers from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures has been set up by the Equality and Human Rights Commission in the Lake District to help promote Equality and Diversity in the next generation of young people. The camp brings together 100 people from around the country to take part in activities such as Orienteering, bike riding, kayaking and mountain climbing. The camp aims to help people who would not normally be able to do those activities because of a disability or financial circumstances etc. and to also create a sense of team work between them.
Also Liberal Democrat MP, Jenny Willot who is the Equalities Minister has told newspapers that she dislikes Prime Ministers Questions in the houses of Parliament because she believes that it is 'totally male led' and should include more women. She then went on to criticise her own party because of the fact that only 12% of Liberal Democrat MPs are Women.
