The families were given a tour of the campus and were introduced to some of the staff in school who are supporting the transition process. The families were really impressed with our Post 16 learners who at the time were working hard in our Birds Next Café; lots bought cake including flapjacks and the delicious and ever so popular polenta and orange cake and the banana cake!

• Class Cake Competition

  Fri 13 Apr 2018

  This week we have been raising awareness and fundraising for Autism Awareness Week and Down’s Syndrome Awareness. Each class were set the challenge of designing and baking a cake; the theme was pink, purple and odd socks to represent both causes! After shopping for their ingredients, each class made their cake and presented it in our main foyer for judging where they were scored on appearance, taste and texture. Our judges included 3 students from the BLC Primary School Council, Hope (Admin), Hayley (School Health Assistant) and Leanne (LSA). Here are some photos of the amazing cakes!
