The pizza making activity was done as part of the college’s Retention, Achievement and Progression (RAP) week activities where all students are given the opportunity to expand their horizons and take part in activities that stretch their imagination, expose them to different ideas and broaden and sometimes challenge their outlook on a wide variety of beliefs and attitudes.
The Uniformed Public Service students spent the morning preparing and cooking the pizzas and over the lunch time period offered the free pizzas to the rest of the college. Judging by the queues that formed, the pizzas went down a treat.
According to Uniformed Public Services Tutor Ron Morley: “This was another fun and novel way for our students to work together as a team. The ability to work in a team is a vital part of public service life and this event reminded our students of this fact. As always they really enjoyed doing something challenging, out of the ordinary and rewarding.”Student Jack Casewell said: “It was great to try an activity that is entirely different from our normal day-to-day subjects. I enjoyed getting the ingredients together and making the pizzas, whilst others liked using the portable oven and baking the pizzas.”
