This year we are excited to welcome over 750 new students to the College, which meant our corridors were bustling this week full of classes visiting our Fresher’s Fair!
Among stacks of free Dominoes pizza and candy floss, we had exhibitors from the NHS, Solent Go, No Limits, Young Epilepsy, Subway, NCS and more. Some students even took the opportunity to kit-up in a Sumo Suit and see which of their friends they could beat.
We also welcomed the University of Winchester, the University of Southampton and Southampton Solent University, who spoke to our students about the undergraduate degrees they could progress on to.
We’ve had lots of brilliant entries into our photo competition – keep posting your photos to Instagram with the hashtag #eastleighfreshers, as next week we will be picking a winner at random who will receive a brand new iPad mini!
Professional Catering students recently teamed up with top chefs as they took part in the Dingley Dell’s BBQ Competition at this year’s Universal Cookery and Food Festival, Westlands.
Event Management students at Eastleigh College have raised a fantastic total of £2,257.61 which has been donated to four local charities; PICU, Piam Brown Children's Ward, Blue Cross and Wessex Cancer Trust. The donation was raised following a number of successful charity events and projects that were planned, organised, marketed and ran by students throughout the academic year, including a Christmas Fayre, enterprise projects and a charity dinner held at the award winning Botley Park Hotel.
