All praised the extent of measures put in place following the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions, which enabled face to face teaching to resume as seamlessly as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Our test centre has now closed after an unbroken 14 days of testing of returning students. Nearly 6000 lateral flow tests have been administered, with no positive results.<\/p>\n<p>After their last shifts we showed our appreciation of the volunteers\u2019 hard work by presenting them with parting gifts of hand tied floral bouquets, Reaseheath cheese and vouchers for college activities.<\/p>\n<p>The morning presentation was made by Louise Woodman, Director of People and Culture, and by Mark Birkitt, Head of Student Services, who were joined for the afternoon presentation by Principal Marcus Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>Louise, Mark and Fiona Sampson, Instructor in the Foundation department, who were responsible for the overall setting up and running of the test centre, also received gifts from our principal in recognition of their dedication.<\/p>\n<p>Louise thanked some staff and students individually for \u2018Going the extra mile\u2019 in helping to ensure the efficiency of the operation. The centre will not be dismantled completely, as some booths will be retained for block release testing or other occasions where some bulk testing may be required.<\/p>\n<p>Home testing kits are now available for all students through their Curriculum Area Manager or through Residential Services if they live on campus. Students are being encouraged to test twice a week (Sunday and Wednesday evenings) or, if they are only in college once a week, to test on the morning of their college day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We have been particularly proud of the responsible way our students have conducted themselves while going through the testing process and generally on campus. We hope that all students and staff enjoy a well deserved Easter break and return full of enthusiasm for their final term.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Local volunteers have received a surprise \u2018thank you\u2019 for their invaluable assistance in supporting our Covid lateral flow test centre, helping us to ensure a safe return to campus.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":107451,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[468],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
