Good News Story
The Centre recently hosted a new course
“Origami The Art of Paper Folding” run by Dan Xuan from The Chinese
Information and Advice Centre. The course was very popular and
student’s made something new every lesson. The course was attended by
our teaching assistant students and tutor Marion Nicol and Lorraine Bray
Centre Deputy Manager.
We all made boxes which we donated to the Centre to display chicks being
sold on behalf of Harris Hospice.
