Year 11 students from Nayland College's Foundation Certificate seeking volunteering opportunities that will allow hands-on experience that contribute to the community. We have around 22 students, and they are a mixture of 15-16-year-olds. We would be open to doing a full class at the same time or we could individualise to the different students. During school hours would be best but we can work around this if we need to. We can have 2 or 3 teachers there to support as well. For more information, please contact Missy Seymour, [email protected]
Bringing Back “Tertulia”
Experience the magic of Tertulia, a Spanish word that summons back the tradition of gathering to share ideas, stories, and art. Whether through spoken word, poetry, music, storytelling, or acting, this is a space where creativity and culture come to life.
