Schools dinner

On Thursday 18 November, we celebrated our essential relationship with local schools across Bristol by welcoming representatives to our City Restaurant at College Green.

The representatives were seated with their former students, giving them the opportunity to hear about their transition to College and how their alumni were doing.

Guests enjoyed a four-course meal prepared and served by our Catering and Hospitality students under the guidance of Chef Saravanan from Nadu in Stokes Croft.

Care students collect festive treats for food bank

Level 1 Care students at SBSA have spent the past half term collecting Christmas goodies and day-today essentials for Withywood Foodbank.

Their collection included Christmas food treats like cake, biscuits and crackers as well as hygiene products and pet food.

Wellness workshops with Prince’s Trust students

Prince’s Trust students at College Green were joined by Inclusive Wellness for their community project this term.

The students explored what wellness means for young people like them in Bristol, and engaged in a series of workshops delivered by Inclusive Wellness from 25 October to 3 November.

Inspired by what they had learned, the students then hosted a wellness event for students at College Green, with baked goods for sale, painting, colouring, bracelet making, origami and games to take part in.

Festive fairs raise money for charities

Our Business, ESOL and SEN students have been busy hosting winter markets this term for students and staff to enjoy.

The festive spirit was in the air at College Green, Ashley Down and SBSA when stalls were set up selling baked goods, ornaments, plants, jewellery and more all in the name of charity. The final event, which took place in the final week of term, saw the 16-18 ESOL students host a raffle and winter craft sale, with proceeds going to the Bristol Refugee Rights and City of Sanctuary Transport Fund.

The Business students partnered up with the Student Union, who put on a German food market at the same time in the food hall of College Green, to raise money for Breast Cancer UK.

Raffles, tombola and a Santa were just some of the staples of the event, which raised more than £300.

At SBSA, the Pathways to Employment students ran a winter market in the Winter Gardens, with festive games, sweet cones, gingerbread and plants and paintings for sale.

Congratulations to all of our staff and students for raising money for so many worthy causes this festive season.
