Students take study trip to Venice

AS and A Level Art, Graphics, Photography, Theatre Studies and Textiles students from Newcastle-under-Lyme College (NULC) participated in a study visit to Venice in February half-term.

During the three day trip to Venice, staff and students from the College visited a range of galleries including the Guggenheim, Ca’ Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art and Gallerie dell’Accademia, to allow the students to gather research on artists to help them with their studies.

Natalie Weatherer, Subject Leader in Theatre Studies & Media at NULC, said: “The students have thoroughly enjoyed their trip to Venice. During their visit they visited lots of galleries and significant landmarks making it a really enriching excursion.”

Students hold bake sale

AS and A Level Theatre Studies students from Newcastle-under-Lyme College (NULC) held a bake sale on Friday 11 March to help raise funds for their sets, props and costumes for their upcoming performances.

The students, who baked a range of tasty treats to sell to staff and students at the College, raised over £100.

Natalie Weatherer, Subject Leader in Theatre Studies & Media at NULC, said: “The students have worked really hard over the past few weeks organising and preparing this bake sale. They managed to raise more money than they initially hoped for which will massively help them when preparing for their performances as part of their course.”
