The first year at Elliott Hudson : Tom Fitzsimons: The 30th of June was an emotional day for all; with the inspiring speech from recovering alcoholic Tom, who captured the attention of the EHC students for a whole hour (a great achievement within itself).

Media students had the chance to go inside and learn about all the filming and sound technology which was located in this moving production studio; alongside tlaks about what its like to be part of the boradcasting proffession.

Art Exhibition: A great opportunity to display the results of a hard year of work for the art, media, film and product design students. Also the moment when we could all take a step back and breathe a sigh of relief that our work was finished and we didn’t have to ever see it again! ‘it was exciting to get everyone involved, the students were chuffed to be able to show off their work to peers, parents and staff’ – Drew Nicholls (Art and Media Student)
Michael Foale: The visit from ex NASA astronaut Michael Foale was an incredible experience for those who attended, the surrealism of his experiences captured the attention of not just EHC students but Bruntcliffe, Morley, Farnley and Swallow Hill science students. With him sharing his experiences of space travel and the intense training he went through to achieve his dreams. Showcasing to the students how hard work can pay off to achieve your dreams.

A range of music taste all combined into one amazing evening for everyone! ‘Better than the Brits!’ – the lead singer of Elliott Hudsons very own winners Yesterday’s Kicks.
3 pairs and a Spare: A small group of EHC students dedicated their Wednesday afternoons all year to producing a product and a marketing campaign to go with it. They entered the area final in where they presented their product to a panel of proffesional business men and women.

We went to see Wicked, highlight of the trip!’ - Claire Lister
