Artist of the Month | December 2018

What a term folks! We have seen so much ambition and enthusiasm these past few weeks in the run up to Christmas, and we are seeing some spectacular work around the department which has been a lovely way to see out the year. We can't wait to see what the new year brings!

So without further a do, congratulations to our last Artists of the Month of 2018, and Merry Christmas everyone!

Magna Christmas Family Fair and Stall in College | TRAC

Over December we have done 3 days worth of TRAC stalls, two of which we spent at Magna for their Christmas Family Fair, and the other we set up in college to sell to staff and students.

James and Laura both came and helped out at the Magna Christmas Family Fair on the 24th and 25th of December. This was a great place to show our goods off to the public, we even had a visit from the Major of Rotherham! 





We then had a stall in college on the 14th of December. Last year on Christmas Jumper Day we ran a TRAC stall in college and raised £114 overall towards the department and the colleges nominated charity. As this was such a success we decided to do this again this year! And so last Friday Tom and Laura set up the stall ready to sell our goods to the college staff and students. Thank you to James, Bushra, Amber and Chloe for manning this throughout the day for us, until we eventually packed up around 1.30. We then moved some of the cards, notebooks and gift tags into the LRC so we could hopefully raise some more money during the last week of term. 

Putting together the sales of Magna and the stall in college we raised a total of....

£105!

As always the profits will be split between the department and the colleges nominated charity which is currently the Charlie Waller Memorial Trust. Thank you to everyone who supported our TRAC initiative by buying some of our products, and thank you obviously to all our lovely students who helped run this! 

Meet your Student Reps! | 2018

On Thursday we had our first meeting of the year with our brand new Student Rep team! Amber and Chloe are continuing their roles as reps from last year, and joining the team are Laura, James, Amelia, Caitlin and Tom. 

In our first meeting we discussed a variety of issues including printing credits and how we can be more eco-friendly in the department. We will be meeting again on Thursday the 20th of December, so if you have any issues you would like to raise, just speak to or email one of the reps who can they anonymously relay your concerns to us.
