Eastleigh College has moved to online learning, as such campuses are closed to the vast majority of learners. The College remains open (including over the Easter holiday period) for 16-18 learners of key workers, and those learners with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). However, for both categories, learners are asked to stay at home where it is safe to do so. Consistent with public health advice, learners and staff are asked to follow public health guidance and the steps outlined via the 'read more' button.
Eastleigh College Supported Learning Students took to the stage in front of a sell-out crowd to perform their annual arts showcase, this year titled ‘Around the World in Sixty Minutes’.
Over 60 students, aged between 16-21 years old, all with learning disabilities and studying on full-time courses at the College, presented a lively evening of dance, theatre, song and art against a background of music based from around the globe to celebrate the Olympic year. Dance styles included contemporary, jazz, street dance, dance-drama, slapstick, mime and freestyle.
Elise currently studies Preparation for Life and Work, and is looking forward to starting a course in Catering in September. Commenting on the show this year, she said, “I’m loving it! I look forward to this every year and I’m sad this is my last year. My favourite part of the show this year is the finale, because we all get to join in on stage together.”
Team Leader for Supported Learning, Sharon Priest, said “The students have worked really hard since the rehearsals started back in November. They have been fully involved in all aspects of the show, from devising set pieces to improvisation work and costume making. All their effort has paid off - they’ve put on terrific performances!”
