Hi all,
Some of you have been asking me whether we can build a resource-bank a la the superb mathematics department blog.
We do have some generic documents available via the pages tabs to the right of the screen and we often embed links to google documents in our posts, so it is worth you looking through these.
Many of our lesson and reference resources are now available within the "Student Resources" folder on your desktop. We are currently looking at ways to make these resources available to you off-site and we may decide to use WordPress to host a sister-site specifically for our teaching and learning resources.
Let us know if you have any ideas about this.
Laura :)

Inspiration from within
This week we are very grateful to Martin Lawlor from our Entry and Foundation faculty at H6FC for the excellent Disability Awareness Workshop which he facilitated.
Our perceptions were challenged and we enjoyed a fun communication activity (discovering JUST how competitive certain people on the second floor are!).
Best of all, we stopped for a while to reflect on how lucky we are to be part of a wholly inclusive learning environment. We were reminded that H6FC is a very special place, where staff are truly committed to enabling students to achieve their full potential, and in which any young person can be sure that their starting point will be no limitation to their success.
For us, the highlight of the workshop was watching one of the fantastic films made by Abdi Omar, a student of Haringey Sixth Form Centre.
Abdi uses a communication device called a "Liberator" so that he can speak. He is currently in the second year of a Level 3 BTEC studying ICT - not a "special" class and not "separate". He is on the regular Level 3 vocational course (equivalent to A levels) and he's doing brilliantly.
Here is one of the inspirational videos by Abdi from his YouTube channel.
