Learning in many ways

Melbourn Village College is continuing to evolve

Inside this newsletter are examples of opportunities that we have been able to give our students

Without the hard work and dedication of our staff we would be able to offer very few educational opportunities outside of the classroom

Learning in different environments and taking part in unusual activities, makes our students think in different ways as they solve the problems they encounter This could be within a sports fixture, as students develop their communication and leadership skills, expanding an interest in music or drama, or while working out ways to converse with students from another country

Staff enjoy arranging these events as it allows them to develop those all-important positive working relationships with students

Our pastoral system also continues to evolve and I am looking forward to a new member of the team joining in the near future I believe it is imperative that we support our students both within and outside of the classroom

We adults know that life brings its challenges which we find difficult at times

Such challenges must be even more difficult for our students Therefore, I believe we need to support them to ensure they can make the most of the opportunities which they are given both inside and outside of the classroom

Drone pictures useful — and impressive!

Site team member

Richard Perry has bought himself a drone with spectacular results

He originally purchased the DJI Mini 3 Pro for fun, with the added advantage of being able to survey the college’s high roofs without have to access them personally, reducing the risks to site staff

Now he has discovered his new toy can take incredible shots of not only the whole college as seen on the front page but also the village of Melbourn and beyond.
