Mediterranean weather helping to make our students feel even more at home.
We have also been in the midst of our busiest week of the year so far - we welcomed 70 German students (59 from Sanofi & 11 Business Management trainees from Provadis); had a huge Welcome Meeting at the RICC and then took them to begin their Work Placements on Tuesday, along with over 30 other students from around Europe. We were also pleased to be hosting two teachers Silke and Diane who were accompanying the Provadis / Sanofi group - we worked out that Silke has been coming here for 15 years with various groups visiting TTPL -amazing. We even managed to fit in a spot of lunch in the sun at Shoreline Paignton.
The weather was very kind to us and all of our students got out to their placements without a hitch!
Fantastic!
We also enjoyed a beautiful afternoon at Cockington Court with an ice-cream or a drink provided by the excellent Cafe and Tea Rooms there - thank you to Lianne and Simon, it was great and all the students enjoyed the ice creams! We also had a lot of fun with footballs, tennis rackets and frisbees! Lovely to see so many of our students enjoying a sunny afternoon. It was also an opportunity for Sandra and Martins, our latest office students (and all the arrivals from last weekend!) to enjoy their first student meeting. Thank you for all the help you have given so far - we really appreciate the skills you bring to our workplace!
As a closing picture or two, here is Martins on his first visit to the UK - posing in the sun!
and of course the obligatory ice cream picture.....
Have a great weekend and don't forget the sun screen!!!
