Coworkers and students alike had a lot of fun at @bodiamcastlent last Sunday! St. John's and 2nd Floor Mount House folks walked around the beautiful grounds and explored the castle learning all about it's history as a home and site of defence We are so glad the weather is getting sunny again! #volunteer #volunteeropportunities #volunteering #volunteerlife #visit #nationaltrust #weekendlife #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendfun #students #college #furthereducation #education #exploring #eastsussex #community #communitybuilding #camphill #inclusion #diversity #sunday

Our Cookery and Bakery students celebrated National Pizza Day (9th February) by having an educational visit to @pizzaexpress in Uckfield on Thursday to learn how to make their own pizzas Students followed demonstrations from Dan the manager: pressing their dough into tins, carefully spreading the tomato sauce and finishing by sprinkling over mozzarella cheese - all created delicious Margherita pizzas! They then got to bring them back to The Mount and make everyone else very jealous with a pizza party in the cookery workshop, but it was not all just fun and games as the students also learned vocabulary associated with pizza making by doing a word search, and a gap fill exercise embedding the method of making up a pizza. Looks like it was a very interesting and valuable workshop for our bakers and chefs #pizza #pizzaexpress #workshop #pizzamaking #baking #cooking #food #learning #howto #students #college #restaurant #workexperience #inclusion #diversity #camphill #tutor #volunteer #volunteeropportunities #volunteering #volunteeruk

The Work skills group ran a spectacular Café Mount on the last day of half term with all funds raised going to Macmillan cancer support. The new look Café Mount was masterly presented to our lovely families and friends in the conservatory on a beautiful, autumnal sunny afternoon. Students undertook a number of roles, working front of house, dressed professionally, taking orders and delivering drinks and delicious cakes made in our bakery; or behind the scenes, making teas and coffees and plating up cakes. The teamwork and spirit were wonderful, not only on the day but also in the planning and student ownership of the event which is clearly reflected in the photos. The Cookery students also had a fabulous time selling take-away baked goods, all hand-made to a professional standard and with high quality ingredients, to families and members of the community. The Bakery offered wonderful cakes as part of our 'click and collect' service. We are happy and proud to share that through the Bake Sale held on Wednesday 16th October and the Café Mount event we raised a spectacular £451.88. We would like to thank everyone who supported these events; our students who worked at the events; and our cookery and bakery students creating delicious goodies. But most importantly 'thank you' to those who came and donated and made these events so special and successful. #college #community #cafe #workexperience #workskills #students #trainees #leaarning #growing #working #inclusion #diversity #camphill #volunteering #volunteer #volunteeropportunities #volunteerabroad #volunteerinengland #macmillancoffeemorning #macmillancancersupport #macmillancoffeemorning2024 #homemade #homebaked #mondaymotivation #throwback

Mount Pottery Students went to see the Grayson Perry exhibition at Charlston in Lewes on Wednesday 6th November A successful and interesting trip, with art that the students found colourful, unique and engaging.
