Our Enrichment Day took place on Tuesday 22nd
March and saw students take part in a range of activities both in and outside
of school. A group of eighteen Year 9
and 10 students visited the Wigan & Leigh College Image Centre, making
their own way there for a 9:15am start.
The Image Centre - Leigh is a designated “Wella Centre of
Excellence” dedicated to hair, beauty and holistic therapy. The impressive Wella accreditation means that
the Centre has achieved the highest standard of training and demonstrates
excellent links with industry. The
Centre offers realistic working environments, including hairdressing and beauty
salons, a nail studio, a theatrical & media make-up room, spa pool, sauna,
flotation couch and more.
Amongst other activities, the students took part in a make-up
session and their fantastic work is pictured here. Very glamorous!
Mrs Brandwood commented that “our girls were an absolute
credit. They were interested, enthusiastic, polite and engaged throughout the
day and all of the college staff commented on how brilliant they were. One was
particularly impressed by their manners; he held a door open for the group and
every singe person thanked him! I was very proud of them, and made sure to tell
them so at the end of the day.”
Congratulations girls and thank you to the Image Centre for
our visit.
