Students brave heights to gain confidence

Students studying the BTEC in Public Services at NULC were put through their paces by taking part in a range of tasks encouraged to build the students confidence.


Ron Morley Public Services lecturer said: "An important part of preparation for a career in the Public Services is to have trust and confidence in your colleagues." With that in mind the students enjoyed a visit to a climbing wall in Audley where students were required to take responsibility for each others safety. 

In addition to the building trust and confidence, all Public Services students are encouraged to take part in outdoor education and become proficient in camping and navigation skills.  Students take part in a number of outdoor visits throughout the year, much of which takes place in various parts of in Peak District.

A huge well done to the Fiennes House team for achieving over 1000 points beating Shackelton and Sharmann houses by 200 points.
