This week, our ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) students shared a presentation called “Memories of Us” ️

Through a series of heartfelt presentations, they invited us into their worlds – telling stories of childhood memories, favourite foods & the paths that brought them here.

Using audio equipment, each student bravely stepped up to speak from the heart. One student let his powerful artwork do all the talking through paintings vividly shaped by strength + resilience

The exhibition was welcomed by students from our Camborne campus who had a chance to glimpse into the lives of their peers.

One listener said “A humbling experience for me, and an absolute privilege to be invited for just a small peek into the lives of your learners”.

We’re incredibly proud of our students – not just for their language progress, but for their courage, creativity & the community they continue to build here with us.
