Still progressing...!

So the new windows and doors are in and do look very nice 

 The painter has been in to do the inside and outside of the windows and door, still waiting on walls,skirtings, carpet tiles and blinds!

Hopefully we will be opening our doors soon to all our wonderful learners and tutors!

Progress!

So things finally look like they are starting to take shape down at The Learning Shop with the new doors and glass having been fitted this week! Here's the latest pictures.

 

Learning Shop Update!!!!

We think we have some good news!!

As work was being done around the doorway....asbestos was discovered.  Luckily it was a very small amount and all has now been removed.  The windows and doors are being fitted this week and hopefully the decorators will be in next week.  They will take over a week to paint the Shop and fit new flooring and then the move back in will start.  We are HOPING to be back in business on Monday 4^th August.

Keep checking the website for updates and we will endeavour to contact everyone to confirm the date.

 
See you all soon and hope you are enjoying the summer!

South Carrick Tutors

 

We would like to invite you to a tutor forum on Tuesday 8th of July from 1pm-3.30pm in the Carrick Opportunities Centre, Girvan. This will be an informal meeting, where you can have a chat to other tutors about the work you are doing.  There will be staff present to answer any questions you may have.

We hope you can make it and hope this will be an opportunity for you to network with other tutors!

 

Thanks

ESOL Celebration Evening

 
On the 19^th June 2014, we had the ESOL celebration evening in The John Pollock Centre Ayr. Greg Cassidy came along with Shona Howat from Ayrshire College to take part in our evening.   Greg presented some of our learners with certificates for gaining Access 2 accreditation.   

There was a fantastic buffet of international dishes and home baking.  Learners had the opportunity to work in class on recipes and instructions with their tutors prior to the evening.   This then helped them to write up their own recipe that they had prepared for the evening.  We had a variety of Indian, Chinese, Polish, Italian and Scottish food.

 

 The weather allowed the children to play in the court yard at the John Pollock Centre, whilst their parents got their ‘eyes down’ for a game of bingo.  This was also organised and presented by one of our ESOL groups.  The evening was a big success and I’d like to say a big thank you to Susan Wilson, Eileen Opiolka, Irene Lamont, Liza Donaldson and all our volunteer tutors for all their help that evening and for all their hard work during the year.

 

The ESOL courses will start again week commencing 18^th August 2014.  If you have any queries, please contact the Learning Shop on 01292 263304.
