MOTHER’S DAY – SUNDAY, 10 MAY 2026

 

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible mothers within our college community.

To our staff and students—thank you for balancing your many roles with grace and determination. You are truly appreciated.

 

Wishing you a joyful and restful day.

 

WORKER’S DAY – 1 MAY 2026

 

WORKER’S DAY BUILD UP

As we approach Workers’ Day on 1 May, we take a moment to reflect on its significance. Workers’ Day, also called Labour Day, celebrates the contributions of workers and recognises the struggles endured to achieve fair labour rights and safe working conditions. It reminds us all of the value of hard work, solidarity, and respect.

At our college, we encourage both staff and students to honour this day by fostering a respectful, inclusive, and professional environment. Treat each other with fairness, communicate openly, and contribute positively to teamwork. Together, we can make our college a safe, supportive, and productive place for everyone.

 

FREEDOM DAY – 27 APRIL 2026

 

 

 

FREEDOM DAY BUILD UP

As Freedom Day approaches, we pause to reflect on the struggles that paved the way for our democracy and the responsibilities we share in building a united, just, and equitable society.

 

 

 

This Freedom Day, we encourage all staff and students at the college to reflect on what freedom means to you. Let’s celebrate the diversity within our campus, learn from each other’s experiences, and contribute positively by supporting a colleague or fellow student, or taking part in small initiatives that promote inclusion and teamwork.

 

Together, let’s honour those who fought for our freedom and think about how we can continue making a positive impact in our work, learning, and communities.

 

HAPPY EASTER WEEKEND

Wishing everyone a joyful and peaceful Easter weekend – 3 – 6 April 2026.

 

 

May this special time be filled with love, hope, and moments of happiness with family and friends… and don’t forget to enjoy lots of chocolates and Easter eggs

 

 

 

BLESSED GOOD FRIDAY AND FAMILY DAY

Dear Christian Staff and students, wishing you a truly blessed Good Friday, 3 April 2026 and a wonderful Family Day, Monday, 6 April 2026.

 

 

May this special time bring you peace, joy, and treasured moments with your loved ones. Take the opportunity to rest, reflect, and celebrate the gift of family and faith.

 

 

HUMAN RIGHTS DAY

21 March 2026

 

Today we honour Human Rights Day. Let us reflect on the value of freedom, dignity, and equality for all.

Together, we uphold these rights every day.

 

 

HUMAN RIGHTS DAY COUNTDOWN

As Human Rights Day approaches, 21 March 2026, it’s the perfect time to reflect on equality, dignity, and respect for all. This day reminds us that everyone—staff and students alike—has a role in creating a safe, inclusive, and fair environment.
At our college, we are committed to fostering respect, supporting diversity, and ensuring that every colleague and student feels valued and safe.
Students: Let’s take this time to think about how we can promote fairness, kindness, and respect in our classes, on campus, and beyond. Your voice matters!
Together, let’s make every day an opportunity to uphold human rights and equality!

Pause. Reflect. Reset.

Time Refund Day is traditionally celebrated every four years on 29 February. While we don’t have a 29 February this year, we can still embrace the spirit of the day by taking a moment to reflect on how we spend our time and committing to mindful time management.

This day is about reclaiming your time and using it purposefully. It’s a chance to focus on what truly matters – whether that means enjoying quality moments with family and friends, tackling tasks you’ve been postponing, starting a new book, or simply taking a moment to recharge. A leap year reminds us that even a single extra day is an opportunity to reset, refocus, and make the most of our time.

At work, Time Refund Day is a perfect opportunity to prioritise important tasks, clear pending projects, learn a new skill, support colleagues, and set meaningful goals for the months ahead. Students can also benefit by catching up on assignments, preparing for upcoming assessments, revising notes, organising their study schedules, and exploring personal or career development opportunities.

Whether at work, at college, or in your personal life, use this day to invest in yourself and your growth. Every intentional step you take today can make a real difference tomorrow.

 

 

BLESSED LENT

To all Christian staff and students, 
We extend our best wishes for peace and strength during this season of Lent and trust that you all had a blessed Ash Wednesday yesterday. May this period of reflection and spiritual growth be meaningful for each of you.

RAMADAN MUBARAK

We would like to extend our heartfelt wishes to all our Muslim staff and students or a blessed Ramadan.
May this sacred month bring you peace, abundant blessings, and renewed strength. May your fasting and prayers be accepted, and may you and your loved one’s experience joy, good health, and prosperity during this special time.
