Worthing College students have been involved in an Enterprise Challenge to create a viable business plan to regenerate the Lido. If successful, it could be taken forward by Worthing Borough Council as part of the Worthing Masterplan for the redevelopment of the seafront.

The students gathered at the project launch on Wed 1st Feb at the Lido Café where the teams met with their mentors who are volunteers from (mostly) local businesses. Worthing College have entered two teams mentored by Jacqui Scerri, who is currently employed by Worthing College as a Work Related Learning

Promoting Health – Health and

Social Care Students put

learning into action. By Rosie Speer

A2 Health and Social Care students have been busy preparing to go out to educate targeted groups about Healthy Living. The students have been working in small groups to produce colourful media and materials to reinforce their presentations to drive the health messages home.



Worthing College has provided a Health and Wellbeing Centre for just over a year. This was set up by the college nurse, Louise Trotter. It has been very successful in providing students with a supportive environment in which to learn. Students have been increasingly seeking support and advice from the nurse about a variety of health related concerns.

College students need information and advice about health and they 2#/#1)$ 3*0<$ #.(+%),0/C$ &(==0*)$and direction.. Some students <%4$ #>=#*,#/+#$ &,8/,1+%/)$ "#%5)"$problems.

Nurse Louise says

“We aim to improve the overall Health and Wellbeing of students at Worthing College and we are considering ways to develop this service further. Since working here I have seen how important it is for students to have accessible health advice as well as education and guidance on preventing ill health and leading healthier lives generally. The act of learning is far more successful when the student is healthy.”

Worthing College has been promoting healthy living through various promotions in the student Centre. These events have been tailored to provide information on the dangers of smoking, cancer awareness, healthy eating and sexual health awareness.

The latest promotional event was Health Information day in the Student Centre. This involved a range of outside agencies coming in to promote their services and give

They have obtained resources from CoppaFeel! Cancer Research UK and Breast Cancer Care and their talk will take place in the library after half term.

Variety is the spice of life for performing arts students

An exciting melange of song, dance and comedy was the order of the day when Worthing College BTEC Musical Theatre students presented a Variety Show on the evening of Monday 26th March in the Drama Studio.

There was a Smoothie Challenge for students. This was a great success and students loved participating in the competition. It is a great way to interact with the students and to talk to them on a one to one basis about healthy eating. Building a good rapport with students has been fundamental to achieving interest in and awareness of the Health and Wellbeing Centre and the services it can provide to Worthing College students.

Studying in the UK is very interesting. You get lots of help and teachers

will always help you when you have any questions. Some of the colleges

take you on a camping trip where you get lots of experience, but in my

country Afghanistan you don’t get much support and they never help you.

In the UK you get lots of opportunity and all the opportunities will help

you. You get long vacations and student fares on the train. You also have a

big library at every college in the UK. In my country they don’t have any

libraries. Teachers just want money and most of the teachers just come

to class and go back home and most of the students are uneducated. In

my country students don’t respect each other, most of the time they

fight. I’m really happy to study in the UK. It’s much easier and very

interesting.

In the UK they provide good things for students. They also provide

transport, money and they persuade students to come to college every

day. In the UK students have their own privacy and they have their own

choice to choose what subjects they want to study. In the UK they have

museums where students can go free and learn about history, but in my

country they don’t have anything like museums that’s why students don’t

know anything. In my country there aren’t any chairs or tables for

students, so they study on the floor, but in the UK they have everything.

It’s very comfortable to study and do homework.
