Throughout this Community Week, our students took part in a range of activities, supporting local charities, organisations and community projects while developing valuable real-world skills.
Here are four ways our students gave back this month:
Bringing colour to a local charity fun day
Our talented Hair and Media Makeup students supported a local community charity fun day in aid of New Hope Animal Rescue. Using their creative skills, students provided face painting, which brought extra colour, smiles and fun to the event.
Getting involved in events like this helps students build confidence, develop their communication skills and see the positive impact they can have on others.
Catering students serve up community spirit
Our Catering students were busy in the kitchen, using their culinary skills to support several local organisations and community initiatives.
Students prepared and sold delicious pizzas, alongside homemade meringues, flapjacks and biscuits. They also made soup in support of the St George’s Church Regeneration Project and prepared a special afternoon tea for residents at Maurice House.
Early Years students share the joy of reading
Our Early Years students got creative with storytelling, developing their story-writing skills as part of an exciting new six-week ‘Story Book Box’ project.
The aim is to create story book boxes to donate to local nurseries, helping young children discover the joy of reading and encouraging their early language and literacy development.
Junior College students put their skills into social action
EKC Broadstairs Junior College students also got involved by preparing a variety of homemade soups and fresh bread rolls, which will be donated to the St George’s Church Regeneration Project.
Through this activity, students explored the importance of food within the community and how something as simple as a freshly prepared meal can make a difference to others.

As well as putting their classroom learning into practice, students have developed valuable life skills and experienced first-hand the importance of social action.
We are incredibly proud of everyone who got involved and helped make a positive difference this November!
