What happened to the sun at Blackpool today?

Our last trip today to Blackpool pleasure beach but the weather wasn't kind at all! In fact it didn't stop raining all day. Did we let that spoil our fun? Of course not!

Ponchos on ready to brave the elements.

Of course Zahir was up for this photo.

Zahir

And now

I feel better now than I did when I started and I have loved it! Lisa has helped me with my work and without her help I wouldnt have managed it.
My advice just keep going on with it! I just wish I had Lisa next year.

Now

And then

At the start of the year I was nervous but now I've got to know everybody and my tutor i jusr don't want the year to end.
I am excited to start next year as I can be open with everyone as we are like a family.
What life lessons have I learnt?
To keep my mouth shut and dont let everyone know your business, then evryone will get on and be happy.
What will the new level ones need?
They wil need positive thoughts, pens, paper, and a big smile!
You also need to make sure you always wear your uniform and bring your kits.

Rosie

And now

When I started college in September I was really nervous but now I'm not at all. I love my group and hairdressing especially cutting hair.
I will be sad to leave level one but looking forward to doing Level two in September.

Becky W

Now

I started this course later than most in October. I was really nervous but once I had started I really have enjoyed myself. I'm looking forward to starting level two and meeting more new people.

Then... So shy she wouldn't have her photo took! 

They all look so much more confident! 

Meet the stylists now!

At the beginning of the year I asked the new students to write about how they felt about starting the programme. Now they have completed and are ready to start their level twos, I asked them to say how they feel now.

Kirsty

Now 

How she was in September

When I first started college I was really nervous and didn't know what to expect. 

Now it has come to the end of level one I am really excited to be starting level two and feel very proud of myself for how much I have achieved in the past few months. I am very confident that I will become a good hairdresser and I have enjoyed learning and taking part in all the different activities we have done.
When I first started I was nervous that I wouldnt get along with the people in my class. We have had our ups and down but after support and team building I now think I have made some very good friends who will probably be my friends for a very long time.
I have also met two amazing teachers in Lisa and Mary, without these two I wouldnt be where I am today!
Thanks to Lisa I have not only learnt how to be a hairdresser but I have also learnt to be a better person. I gave gained many life skills from my time at college and look forward to my future as a professional hairdresser.
If I could gave any advice to someone starting this course I would say.
Always be yourself, keep positive and remember why you are at college. ALWAYS listen to Lisa because she is always right! and if you want to go far... get you head down and concentrate.

Charlotte

Now

And then

I feel that I can now be more confident with myself and I have learnt so much over this last year and feel that I am ready for level two.
I have had so much fun with our class having Lisa as our tutor.

My advice to the new level ones. always remember your uniform and kit, pen and paper for theory lessons. You will learn all the basics and feel ready for starting level two. The life lessons you will learn are to be yourself and not let anyone get in your way of completing your hairdressing course.


Jayleigh

Now

And then

I feel like I have learnt a lot over the year and now we have all bonded really well. I wish Lisa and Mary could teach us on level two. We have had so fun having Lisa and Mary as our tutor and helper.

The advice I would give..
You will need to wear your uniform and kit everytime you are in the salon. You will learn the basics of hairdressing and all the skills you will need for level two.

Wow! Look how they have grown. Don't they look like real stylists now. 

A day at Blackpool Pleasure Beach

Our end of year trip to Blackpool Pleasure beach today was just brilliant! And what fabulous weather! 

We travelled in the college minibus with Joe our driver. He has taken us on all our trips this year, he is a lovely man, a real gentleman.

It didnt take too long before we were looking out for Blackpool tower and getting very excited.

And we are here!

And here are off!

A selfie before the ghost train! 

On the steeplechase (we won!) 

Lunch at Burger King with a great view of the Big One

Our final teambuilding! Skiing!

Our team building activiies over the year have brought us all together so we thought we would make the last one out of college. 

We went to Ski Rossendale.

Once the boots were on we practised with one ski on then tried with both.

The instructor was so helpful and Alexis our team building leader helped us too. 

Soon we were off!

Great first attempts seen here.

Sometimes you just need a helping hand?

Getting good now. Although we did look like birds flapping our arms about for balance.

And of course, there were falls......

And the backwards skiing!

A bit of timeout and a sunny selfie with our Lisa. Love them glasses!

Sometimes its hard getting back up.

And now... For the big slopes!

Getting to grips with the chair lift was a challenge!

And not everyhting went to plan....

A bit of scream skiing?

A bit of time lapsed skiing

We had a wonderful time.and we are a great team!

Thank you Ski Rossendale and their great instructors
