I thought it might be useful to tell you about the After College Programme in the LRC. All events are FREE and open to all students and staff.

Join us on Mondays for Book Club, Tuesdays for Chess Club and Thursdays for Craft Club; or aspiring writers  can get involved with creating content for our LRC newsletter, |shelf life. Check out our new series of posters below for more information.

Make A Move

The Learning Resource Centre has an After College Programme with a variety of clubs for students and staff to attend. Chess Club is on Tuesday after college in the LRC where you can come down and learn how to play chess. We welcome all levels of players; you can challenge your friends, improve your skills or just have fun!

In 2015, we launched our first Chess Tournament. This was an all-play-all tournament and after some tricky matches, we had an outright champion. Congratulations to the chess tournament winner, Callum Murphy! As the winner, Callum took away the tournament trophy and a box of chocolates.

This Is My Fight Song

In the LRC we love to celebrate and explore the worlds that different YA authors create; with the release of Mockingjay Part 2 in cinemas, the team decided that a theme night centred on District 12 would be fun, so on Monday 7th December 2015, the LRC hosted the first ‘Hunger Games Tribute’ to celebrate the world of Panem created by author, Suzanne Collins.

Based on her trilogy of novels The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay, students chose their District from a glass bowl (the same as how tributes where selected in the books). There was a scavenger hunt to find each district’s hidden symbol in the LRC.

Students as ‘tributes’ from different districts then teamed up for the Hunger Games quiz. There was a healthy sense of competition, some tricky questions and a lot of laughter had by all.

After a fierce battle for points, the overall winners were Jack Lyon of District 3 and Adele Lennon of District 1 who were presented with their winner’s Mockingjay badges (see photo below).
