Students celebrate St David’s Day with local care home
On Friday 27th February, a small group of Felpham Community College Student Council Representatives, attended Oakland Court Residential Care Home in Felpham. They took part in an art and craft workshop, making cardboard daffodils, to celebrate St David’s Day.
Students volunteered for the event, to work with residents to support them with the crafting and also to chat about student life at FCC.
The event was held to celebrate St David’s Day which was on the 1st March. St David is the Patron Saint of Wales.
Mr Summers, Assistant Headteacher at Felpham, commented:
“It was an ideal opportunity for our students to be reminded that charity work is not just about fundraising, and that time is just as precious and important to a lot of people. The residents commented how lovely it was to have our students visit them. We did it at Christmas and it now looks likely that it will be a regularly termly event.
Our students who attended were brilliant, so helpful with the making the crafts and supportive, and really enthusiastic with the conversations! It was also really nice to have so many of our Council Reps volunteer to go, we have had to promise some that they can go next time as we had too many put themselves forward for the activity. Thank you to Oakland Court for inviting us in”.
