With Saturday came a change in the weather. Last couple of days were very hot, so students didn’t mind the refreshing lower temperatures.

Enjoying lunch

Lunch isn’t just about getting your energy back up. We want students to enjoy their food and maybe try something new.
There are always multiple options available, including those for special dietary requirements. 
So, did we manage to make lunch something students look forward to? No better way to find out than to ask them. Watch the video to see what they said.

Speak up

Communication is a very important skill for young people to develop. Not only does it help their self-esteem, but it’s also useful when making small talk, meeting new people and, one day, having a successful job interview.
Students in the speech making Get Ahead class are working hard to better their speaking competence.
Before they can start inspiring others, it’s important for them to learn from the best. They listened to some of Barack Obama’s best speeches and analysed a great piece from Dr. West, a famous social critic.

I am deeply suspicious of smartness. Let the phones be smart, let us be wise.

Dr. Cornell West

Go pro with Get Ahead sport

Being excellent at sports isn’t something that you’re born with. Good, maybe. But not excellent.
It takes practice, and most importantly, expert coaching to really be the best. Today, our golf students worked on their swing technique under the careful eye of PGA coach Dan.

A student favourite

There’s nothing more fun than bouncing around on the ground and running into your friends without anyone getting hurt. That’s exactly what bubble football is for.
Take a look at some highlights in the video below.
