The Directorate of Business and Leisure Management hosted a Health Education event in January, aimed at providing students with information on health related issues. Topics included smoking, alcohol abuse, healthy eating and drugs, with lecturers and invited guests providing in-depth information on the health implications of making poor lifestyle choices.

Students took part in a range of practical demonstrations and debates, as well as watching presentations and videos. One of the most popular activities was fruit-smoothie making, with staff and students alike creating a range of healthy smoothie recipes.

Design a Logo Competition
Business and Leisure students continued the healthy theme with a competition to design a ‘healthy’ logo for the College’s Quad’Rant Restaurant. The winning entry was by BTEC Sport and Exercise students BTEC SPEX 2B. Professional Business Programme Manager, Bill Esmond, who chaired the judging panel, said, “The entries showed a great deal of thought and creativity; but the winning design reflects the emphasis on healthy, fresh and good quality food that should be the hallmark of the restaurant.”
