Discover New Interests, Build Confidence and Have Fun
More Than Just a College Course
At Petty Pool, learning extends beyond the classroom.
Every week, learners take part in enrichment activities designed to support personal development, wellbeing, confidence, and social skills. These sessions provide opportunities to try new experiences, develop friendships, explore interests, and build skills that support preparation for adulthood.
What makes our enrichment programme special is that it is shaped by our learners. Students can choose activities that match their interests, helping them take ownership of their personal development and college experience.
Whether it’s getting active, being creative, spending time in the community, or learning something completely new, enrichment helps learners grow in confidence while having fun.
