Summer Club timetable ready to kick off at FVC

An exciting summer club schedule at Forth Valley College kicks off in early July at Forth Valley College giving children between 10-16 years of age a range of interesting things to do during their holidays.

Throughout the summer FVC is offering more for those hoping to find a fun and inspiring way to spend part of their holidays or improve their career prospects.

Some of the courses are aimed at pupils in the Forth Valley area, soon to start high school or just about to leave. The summer schools will open up a whole new world to young people who want to reinforce the path they want to take when they leave school, and also to those who are looking to turn that spark of interest in a subject into a full blown career.

Summer Clubs on offer include:

Kids Cookery - An introduction to the world of cooking for 10-14 year olds, who will make a range of tasty dishes and take them home afterwards. Held at the state-of-the-art Stirling Campus which specialises in Hospitality subjects from 13-17 July or 20-24 July between 9am-12noon, the Summer Club promises to be one to savour. Cost £70.

Creative Writing (Older and Younger classes) – Held at the Stirling Campus between 29 June – 3 July, these course will split between the younger class from pupils aged between 10-12 years of age held in the morning from 9am-12noon, and the older class group held in the afternoon from 1pm-4pm for 13-15 year-olds. The five days together will be led by a professional and experienced writer and teacher. The class will make up characters and set them off on brave new adventures. And those attending will experiment with poetry, word-art, and zine-making – and anything else you might be keen to try out. Writing as part of a group is a fun way to spark inspiration, make new friends and build confidence with a wide variety of life skills. Students will explore their imagination and bring ideas to life in a nurturing, supportive environment. Cost £70.
