The Charter Mayor of Harrogate has helped us mark Remembrance Day

The college held a number of special activities for Remembrance Day. The Charter Mayor of Harrogate, Councillor Chris Aldred was the guest of honour as we paid our respects on Monday 11 November.

Activities included creating a paper chain, making a fingerprint poppy field art display, and exhibiting a wall of Remembrance-themed poems and ‘Remember in Colour’ photos.

A standout moment was a march by the Uniformed Public Services (UPS) learners group that was led by our electrical tutor and former soldier, Sean O’Connor.

The one-minute silence, held in front of the college, was attended by all students and staff and was followed by a speech from two of our learners. All of the day’s activities were organised by our Students’ Union members, under the guidance of Student Life Lead Beth Martin.
