Japanese students from Chaucer College are making a great impression in the weekly Park Run at the University of Kent. Taking part as either runners or marshals, the students put in great performances week after week. They are even involved in making cakes or biscuits that the runners share at the end of the run. Well done to all.

As part of Chaucer College’s commitment to Continuing Professional Development, a British Dyslexia Association trainer held a very informative afternoon workshop here. The talk provoked a lively discussion with teachers coming up with lots of ideas about using some of the suggestions to improve our support of students with these kind of difficulties. A really stimulating afternoon.

International students had great creative fun this afternoon recycling materials to make fashion accessories (of a sort). Students showed the full range of  their imagination as they designed all kinds of fashion accessories, with a parade in the courtyard so others could appreciate their talent!!

Last week we held our first summer fete at our largest study centre in Canterbury. We were joined by over 400 students and staff who all had a go at traditional English fete games and were entertained by live music and dance performances. Money raised will be donated to both The Kent Autistic Trust and Alzheimer’s Society.

Chaucer College students have been making a great contribution to Cancer Research in recent months in Folkestone and Herne Bay, handing out bottles of water, medals and snacks to exhausted runners. Organisers expressed their appreciation for the college’s support
