PRISE Week

This year we are introducing our very first 'PRISE Week.' PRISE stands for:

Be Prepared
Be Respectful
Be Inspired
Be Safe
Be Engaged

The week will be full of opportunity for all learners to personally develop, reflect, be mindful and prepare for life beyond college. All learners have the opportunity to engage with a wealth of activities, workshops and delivered sessions across the week. A full programme has been produced and where appropriate learners will be directed to specific mandatory sessions. The remainder of the programme is open and learners are able to chose which sessions to attend.

Why PRISE?
