Thousands of visitors at College Open Evenings
College students share their enthusiasm for studying at Farnborough
An estimated 6000 visitors attended The Sixth Form College Open Evenings held on 11 and 12 November. All departments were open for visiting students and their parents to meet College staff and current students, who were eager to share their experience of studying at the College.
The Open Evening gave the College the first opportunity to display its iconic new building at the heart of the College campus which the Governors have named The John Guy Building. The £7m project was completed in the summer and houses magnificent new facilities for Art, Computing, Physics and IT.
Students who had visited the College’s Partner School in Aburi, Ghana, had bought carvings and jewellery from Ghanaian craftsmen and women, and they were on sale at the Open Evenings to raise money for a new water bore-hole in Ghana.
The College, which is nationally recognised for its innovation and success, has about 1700 places available for new students in September 2010. Each year it is heavily over-subscribed. The opening time for the 2010 admissions process is 7am on Monday 16 November.
