Term has ended for students and the last two days of term for staff are set aside for interviewing prospective students for next year, staff training and an Easter Bake-off. Staff were challenged to get baking and produce cakes with an Easter theme to be judged by a panel of experts.
Those experts - the Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood of this story - were five of the students going on the Gambia trip this year. A big thank you goes to Maggie Brina, Lauren Davis, Rea Huggins, Mia King and Hope Rowe-Hartman for coming into the College especially. They had a difficult task, because they had to taste all the cakes! A tough job indeed, but somebody had to do it! Here are some photos of some of the cakes they were testing.
The students selected an Easter Bunny cake (see below) as the winner, judging on a mixture of the way it was decorated, but also how it tasted!
These cakes were all sold off to staff during a break from interviewing for £1 per slice, along with tea and coffee. Staff also bought raffle tickets for a chance to win a host of goodies including bottles of wine, Easter eggs, books, DVDs and toiletries.
Thanks to the great generosity of staff, we have raised £271.04 for the Jemus Jumgkung Jammeh Memorial School in The Gambia. This will boost the College's contribution to this wonderful project run by Hamstead Hall School and we have lots more planned too.
