‘You Bring Me Joy’
Last issue we told you about our very talented students exhibiting their artwork at Charleston House, one of our tutors trekking across the Sahara Desert, and a fundraising awards evening for Reystede animal charity.
Our busy start to 2019 continued into spring and summer as we welcomed a group of medical mavericks into to college to give Year 10s a glimpse inside the human body (p6). We helped our students relax before their exams with a range of de-stressing activities (p14), our very talented students, staff and friends provided the soundtrack to the South of England Show (p15), and our three smash-hit festivals returned bigger and better than ever before.

.Mini fest 2019 Our smash-hit summer festivals returned this June and July and were bigger and better than ever before. Thousands of you flocked to see our headline acts and took the chance to let your hair down, celebrate the end of exams, and start the summer in style. All three of our festivals were completely FREE (what’s not to love about a free festival?), and we kicked things off in Eastbourne on 26th June. X Factor star, Amelia Lily took to the stage and performed her smash hits and a number of crowd favourites.
Issue #02
Love Island’s Sam Bird and Adam Collard then closed the festival with their party anthems, sending the crowd into a frenzy. We welcomed Amelia back to perform at the Lewes campus on 4th July, where she was joined by YouTube sensation Jack Maynard. We then rounded the summer off with a party on the Pier in Hastings on 11th July. Jack Maynard made his second appearance at MiniFest and he was joined by Glastonbury’s Emerging Talent competition winner, Marie White, who was fresh from playing at Worthy Farm. The music line-up for the three festivals were made complete by former Ministry of Sound DJ, Mike Sherwood; Vocal Coach Atlanta Hurley; college favourite, Stevie B, and alumni Morgan M James.
Along with our stellar music line-up, our three unforgettable festivals were packed with inflatable games and festival activities. We had a wrecking ball, the Last One Standing, water zorbing, and funfair stalls. We also had a vocal workshop, festival hair and make-up, a selfie tent, and Virtual Reality gaming. Nobody had an empty stomach either - there was plenty of food and drink with burgers, hotdogs, veggie dogs, popcorn, candy floss and ice cream. If that hasn’t got you excited for next year’s MiniFest - then we don’t know what will! Turn to page 12 to read our exclusive interview with Amelia Lily!

.medical mavericks
St. Richard’s students getting hands-on during the Hastings Medical Mavericks workshop
Local school students from across East Sussex were given the opportunity to explore health and medical science during a number of workshops hosted by the college and Medical Mavericks.
Local school students were recently given the opportunity to explore health and medical science during a number of medical mavericks workshops at each of the college’s three campuses. Around 250 Year 10 and 11 students from local schools across East Sussex, including Priory School, Cavendish, St Richards, and Hastings Academy, attended the three-hour workshops at the college to gain an insight into the human body and find out about careers in the medical industry.
Students from Eastbourne Academy said that they had “an awesome time” and that the Medical Mavericks workshops were “absolutely excellent”. The college enlisted the help of Medical Mavericks, the UK’s number one STEM and Sport Science careers enrichment experience, to help school students discover what progression routes there are from school, through college and university, and into health and medical careers. Head over to the college YouTube channel to see the highlights video!
The first workshops took place on Wednesday 8th May in Hastings, the second on Thursday 9th May in Eastbourne, and the third on Friday 10th May in Lewes. Each session gave the students the opportunity to use real medical kits, ultrasound machines, ECG machines, and have a go at some keyhole surgery.

.News in brief Serving up a treat The Kings Restaurant in Eastbourne recently presented their charity of the year, Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare, with a cheque for over £600 following a successful year of fundraising. Themed dinners and afternoon teas have been held across the academic year, in aid of the Ringmer-based charity and raised £604.76 in total.
It must be the music Students studying music at the East Sussex Academy of Music (ESAM) in Lewes, performed at the Music for Youth National Festival in Birmingham in July. The ESAM Percussion Ensemble, featuring six performers, played on Wednesday 3rd July, and the ESAM Big Band, an ensemble of 20, performed on Friday 5th July. It is the third year in a row that ESAM students have been invited to perform at the festival.
Mental health awareness An A-Level student from our Lewes campus has raised nearly £1,000 for mental health charity, Mind. Becki Robinson, 18, from Ringmer (former King’s Academy student), also donated her cut locks to The Little Princess Trust to form part of a wig for someone who has lost their hair from an illness. Becki chose to raise money for Mind to support the important work they do, after being on the receiving end of the charity’s work herself. The student is open about her own past mental health struggles and says, “It was one of the most difficult times in my life and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the support from my family and resources from Mind. I am now the other side of the struggle and I can see how important it is that I was able to speak openly about what I was going through. I hope that many more people will start to have more open, honest conversations about how they are feeling.”

Your beach, your future
.News in brief
Students and staff from our Eastbourne campus spent an hour one Sunday morning cleaning a stretch of the beach outside the Beach Deck Cafe. Carlene Wiegand and Andrea Butterfill, from the Learning Resource Centre, were keen to do a beach clean and enlisted the help of other staff and students. Art student, Katie Marden, used the litter she collected as part of her final art project.
Oriental cooking Year 10 catering students from Ratton enjoyed an oriental cookery masterclass at the Kings Restaurant in Eastbourne. A group of 38 budding chefs made the short journey along Kings Drive to get a taste of what college has to offer them after school. The group had six cooking and hospitality stations to have a go at, including making prawn toast and spring rolls, learn how to set a table, and mix up their own mocktails.

Starter, main, & dissection Sports students from the Hastings campus enjoyed a two-course meal with a twist, courtesy of Anatomy Lab Live. The Massage Therapy, Personal Training, and Sport students travelled to the Hilton Hotel in Brighton for the world’s only live and interactive anatomical dinner and dissection experience. After appearing on BBC’s Dragons’ Den, Anatomy Lab Live are touring the UK with their unique anatomical learning experience. The surgery gave the students the chance to enjoy a two-course meal and, moments later, experience a complete surgical procedure with real anatomical specimens. The eye-opening live event gave an insight into the science behind intricate structures found within internal organs.

School sports day Around 140 pupils from seven local primary schools attended the Summer Multi-Sports Event at the Eastbourne campus in May. Second year FdA Sports students coordinated the event as part of their Event Management module and HSLA Sports students delivered the coaching sessions as part of their course.

.Born to Perform In this issue of Escape we’re bringing you two of our inspiring Humans stories. Atlanta Hurley and Morgan M James are both former students of our Lewes campus and are working hard to make a name for themselves in the music industry. Plus they both performed at two of our ESC MiniFests!
@AtlantaVocalCoachEastSussex
Atlanta Hurley I have been singing for as long as I can remember! I’ve kept all of my report cards from way back in reception class that say I was only ever interested in school when it was time for music and I had the chance to sing in front of the whole class. I have been a vocal coach for two years, providing singing lessons to keen singers of all ages and abilities. As well as vocal coaching from my home in Eastbourne, I have been traveling into primary schools around the county to put on drama and singing clubs. Everyone always remembers what they wanted to be when they were younger and I’ve always wanted to be a singer - I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to be anything else.
Music and singing has always been a part of my life and it has been something that has come quite naturally to me. In fact, I didn’t have my first singing lesson until I joined, what was then, Sussex Downs College in 2013. Before then, everything that I knew or had learnt had been from ear. Before I joined the college in 2013 I had been living in Ireland for ten years. I moved back to England just so I could carry on my studies and it was the best decision that I could have ever made. I studied BTEC Music, Double Performing Arts, and Musical Theatre at the Lewes campus. I spent three years at the college and achieved Distinction* in all three subjects. During my time at college I started to work at the Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts - and this was where I found my love for coaching.
I started off as a teaching assistant for the drama poppets class teaching and coaching toddlers aged 3-5. From that, I was asked to represent Pauline Quirke Academy in the primary school where I started as an assistant. I soon began to lead the class myself and discovered that coaching was the right path for me. After college I went to the University of Chichester to study a four-year BMus (Hons) Vocal Performance degree and then into coaching and setting up my own business in 2017. My singing teacher, Kelly Barnes, inspired me make the most of my talents and start a career that I’d love. Knowing that my job allows me to not only sing every day, but help others do that too is the best feeling in the world.

@MorganMJames
morgan m. james
I’m a singer, songwriter, and content creator from Brighton and I studied at Lewes campus from 2015 to 2017. My time at college was amazing. I met so many great people and learnt so much. I had a really good time and I was quite sad to leave to be honest! I studied Music, Musical Theatre, and Photography and was able to go on some really great trips. Studying photography comes in really handy now with getting bits for Instagram and social media. My time at college really did help to set me up for what I’m doing now. I’ve always loved music, but I really got into it after making a few videos on Vine. From there I started to post a few covers and it grew from there. That’s how I got to where I am at the moment. My style is acoustic-driven pop, very mainstream. A lot of my songs are written on the bus! I find if I sit down with my guitar or piano in my studio or bedroom and try and write lyrics,
Issue #02
nothing really comes to me. But when I’m sat on the bus, I’ll see things out the window and ideas come into my head. A lot of my most watched videos and songs on YouTube were actually written on a bus! I write songs all the time and really enjoy writing with other people. I think it’s really important to share ideas and collaborate. That’s one of the key things that I learnt at college. I’ve written plenty of songs so I definitely have enough to fill an album. In fact, I’m about to release a single very soon which will be the first from my album. The album is definitely a six-month process so I’m planning to launch it in February. At the moment I’m recording the main tracks and shooting the music video, doing an acoustic version which will come out a month later, doing an acoustic video, getting all the PR sorted for it, and getting marketing campaigns and influencers sorted. It’s a long process, but once the song comes out I’ll be really happy - I’m really excited to release it. I’m steadily growing my online followers, but one of my first big successes was a show that I put on in Brighton. It was really cool, I put it all together myself. I sorted out a band,
sold the tickets, and it sold out in a week - it was mad! Over the next few years I want to keep writing and releasing music, hopefully growing and building my online profile to reach more people. There is so much more I want to achieve and so much more I want to do. I just need to keep working every day and put in the hours until I get to where I want to be. My advice for anyone starting out in the industry would be to work hard and make sure you’re smashing it. The one thing I’ve found in music is to just do it. There are plenty of people out there who talk about how they want to start a YouTube channel or be a musician, and they’re holding back because they want to wait for the right time to come up or for something to happen. But the right time is now. It’s so important to jump in, do it and see what happens. If it doesn’t work out then just keep trying and hopefully something will come of it.

.Feature Interview X Factor’s Amelia Lily on auditions, Avicii, storm chasing and performing at MiniFest Amelia Lily rocked the stage at the Eastbourne MiniFest and shortly after her set we spent a few minutes getting to know the bubbly, down-to-earth chart topping singer. Scan the bar code to read the full interview with Amelia where she talks more about being Fearless and her musical inspiration
Did you enjoy performing at MiniFest in Eastbourne? I loved it! I didn’t know what to expect here in Eastbourne, but it was fantastic. The kids were on top form - even with the older music. That was great fun. Your version of Avicii’s ‘Wake me up’ was awesome, have you been performing that very long? I’ve only recently added it to my set list. My brother’s friend committed suicide last year and it was his favourite song. I got asked to sing it at a charity gala recently. Everyone was crying but it was an upbeat song and it went down so well. Every time I’ve done it since, it’s just worked. Has singing always been your passion? Yeah - I knew from such a young age what I wanted to do. I wasn’t the brightest at school. I was good at the creative subjects - Art, Music, Drama, English - I absolutely smashed all of those, but Maths and Science weren’t great for me. I failed miserably in Chemistry. They tried to make me resit the exam six times. They gave up on me as they knew I was going to be a performer. You touched on it briefly, but what was your time in education like? I didn’t actually go to college because X Factor happened, but I went to a private all-girls school, where I was so well looked after. My parents sent me there was because I’m a Type 1 Diabetic. The local schools had thousands of kids and my parents were worried that I wasn’t going to get the help that I needed.
Issue #02
There were 28 of us in my year, that’s how small it was. I actually get on better with lads, so I found it quite difficult. The good thing for me was I had so many hobbies outside of school which let me interact with people from all different backgrounds. It’s kept me grounded. So you finished school and went straight into the X Factor auditions? Yes, but I didn’t get through initially. I got shot down, I was told no. However, I sent an online clip of myself to the X Factor website. My brother, Lewis, sat me down in his flat in London and he was like, ‘right, sit up straight, you’re going by Amelia Lily.’ I sang ‘Price Tag’ by Jessie J and Lewis said that was the one we needed to send in. We sent it off and I got a call! My video was shortlisted out of 400 and I was asked to go to London in two days. I put the phone down and my mum went, ‘It’s your prom on Wednesday’. I’d bought my prom dress, booked hair appointments and everything. But I couldn’t pass up the opportunity so my dad drove me four and a half hours to London at 4am. I went to TalkTalk studios, went in, did my first round with the producers, got through to the director’s round, and then they said they’d be in touch. My dad whizzed me back home, I shoved my frock on, did my hair and makeup, and rocked up an hour late to prom. What do you think you’d be doing now if you weren’t a pop star? If I hadn’t done what I’m doing now, I’d still be doing something creative. I love make-up and hair so I probably would have gone down the beauty route. Although I love the idea of storm chasing! I loved tornadoes when I was younger and took Geography school just out of interest really. I’m fascinated by storms and all that, but that never took off as a career. Maybe later in life...

.DE-Stressing During Stress Awareness month Therapy dogs, yoga, reading, and cute animals were among the interesting things the Students’ Union team had arranged to help students relax and de-stress during April’s Stress Awareness Month. Exam season is a stressful time of the year, so to help the current students relax and prepare, the college was able to put on three days of stress busting at each of its campuses. In Eastbourne and Lewes, students had the opportunity to feed five-week-old lambs and hold chickens, guinea pigs and rabbits, while the event at the Station Plaza campus in Hastings featured tree frogs, snakes, and a lesser tenrec. Scott Bradrick, former Varndean student, said that the event had “come at the best possible time after a busy start to the summer term”. Amelia Palmer, former Uckfield (UCTC) student posted to her Instagram story that her stress was “most definitely gone after spending the afternoon with pet dogs from Raystede Animal Welfare Charity and Pet Pals Therapy” at the Eastbourne campus. Gabby Pavek, former Rye Studio school student said that it was “super fun and therapeutic” holding the animals from Jaws n Claws and it definitely helped her to relax. We were joined by ITV Meridian, BBC Radio Sussex, and the Eastbourne Herald - We think they enjoyed it as much as our students!

Current students, alumni, talented staff and friends of the College provided the musical entertainment for this year’s 52nd South of England Show in Ardingly. East Sussex College, along with Long Man Brewery, were the main sponsors of the Entertainment Zone at the Ardingly showground, providing guests with the perfect soundtrack as they enjoyed a wide range of crafts, food and drinks. On Thursday, artists performing included Stevie Borham, Joel Locke and Fighter of the Nightman with special appearances by Colin James, classical guitarist, and Mark Allen from the band ‘The Kites’. Friday saw ESAM’s (East Sussex Academy of Music) ‘The Onions’, ‘Theo’s Darlings’ and Jack Weston

playing to a die-hard crowd of music fans who didn’t seem to mind the rain. Morgan James performed on the Saturday, playing two sets by popular demand either side of local talents Isabella Bradley & Tom Hurn and Grace Ridger from Hastings. There were special guest appearances from Glastonbury performer and 2019 emerging talent competition winner, Marie White and ex-student and double Grammy award winning Nikki Marshall, who has had success with ‘Rather Be’ the biggest selling single in 2015 for Clean Bandit & Jess Glynne. The show attracted nearly 60,000 people across the three days and visitors were in no way put off by the weather, as they flocked to see magnificent animals, live demonstrations and shows, a range of arts, crafts, and live music.
“The Entertainment Zone became a primary destination for fun, great food, but most of all great music. The performers that I saw were just what we needed to create the ambience and atmosphere of a mini-festival. We’re delighted that the college was able to support the show and make the Entertainment Zone such a riproaring success. We look forward to doing it all again next year.” It was the first time that the college has hosted the music stage at the event, giving current and past students, as well as local emerging talent, the opportunity to perform to large crowds.

.Your guide to
gcse results day GCSE results day is one of the biggest days on the academic calendar, when thousands of you find out your grades after five years of hard work at school. It can be a nerve-wracking day, but to help ease those nerves, we’ve put together a helpful guide about what to expect… Results Day Morning It is completely fine - and normal - to feel nervous. Take it from us, everyone feels nervous. However, it is also a really exciting day. Results day signals the end of school and the start of a new chapter. You’ll be invited in to your school to collect your results, so find out what time you need to arrive and where you need to go.
THEN WHAT HAPPENS? You get the grades you were expecting If everything goes according to plan, you will open your results and you will see exactly what you were predicted. That means you can come along to college and enrol onto your course (more on that in just a second!).
You don’t get the results you were expecting First of all, don’t panic. It is never as bad as you think it is. Just because you didn’t do as well as you had hoped, doesn’t mean you can’t get into college. Have a chat with your tutors and see what they recommend. They may suggest getting a remark or retaking the exam - both of these could help boost your grade, but equally, it could lower them too. The best thing to do is give us a call. We can chat to you about your grades and talk through all your options. If we can’t offer you a place on the course you applied for then we’ll do everything we can to find you a place on an alternative course. We’re experts at matching students with the right course, so we will still be able to help you study something that you will enjoy. You do much better than you were expecting Perhaps you completely smashed your exams and you do better than you were predicted. You can either stick with the course you were planning to do, or there may be a chance that you can join a higher level course. Give us a call on 030 300 39699 to see how we can help.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO NEXT? Just a few hours after the dust settles on results morning, college enrolment opens! This means you’ll be able to come and officially join your course and then sit back and relax and enjoy the last week of the summer holidays. If you are worried about your grades, have any questions about enrolment or the course you have applied for, please feel free to get in touch with us. Our admissions team are experts in talking to students about their exams and their grades. They’ll be able to give you independent advice and guidance about studying at college, even if you haven’t applied to study with us. Give us a call on 030 300 39699 or drop in to see us at one of our campuses in Eastbourne, Hastings, or Lewes.

3. Prepare the filling by whipping the yolks until they have tripled in volume. Add the condensed milk and continue whipping for a further 2-3 minutes, then add the zest/juice and continue whisking for a further 3 minutes. The mixture should be airy with a lot of volume to it.
4. Pour the filling into the base and cook at 140 degrees for 18-20 minutes until set with a slight wobble. Chill immediately. 5. Divide into 8-12 slices and serve with cream. 6. Sharing is optional
