The event was put together by course leaders to raise awareness of other College courses by allowing two very different groups to meet and experience sessions in each other's areas.
Course Leader for Care, Eileen Fitzgerald, said "The idea of two very different groups experiencing one another's courses is an excellent way for students to overcome a fear of doing something new, trying out new ideas and doing something completely different. The students learnt skills that will be useful to them throughout their lives"
Students studying Childcare Level 2 had the opportunity to learn basic car maintenance with activities such as changing a tyre and adding water to the engine. Those studying Motor Vehicles experienced how to look after a baby with nappy changing, preparing a bottle-feed and how to created play dough ' an excellent resource for young children achieving. Motor Vehicle students were also demonstrated how bacteria can cling to hands even after hand washing.
Alistair Napier, course leader for Motor Vehicle said "The Motor Vehicle and Care students worked well together, learning about a course they had little knowledge about. It was a great way for them to demonstrate what they have learnt, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all".
