Promoting Health Health and

have been busy preparing to go out
to educate targeted groups about
Healthy Living. The students have
been working in small groups to

Worthing College has provided a
Health and Wellbeing Centre for
just over a year.This was set up by
the college nurse, Louise Trotter.
It has been very successful in
providing students with a supportive
environment in which to learn.
Students have been increasingly
seeking support and advice from
the nurse about a variety of health
relatedconcerns.
College students need information
and advice about health and they
beneft from education, support
and direction.. Some students
may experience signifcant health
problems. Other students face
different challenges as they attempt
tobalancetheireducationwithfactors
such as family, fnance and housing.

Students are increasingly coming

into contact with wider social
problems such as homelessness,
drugs,disabilitiesandmentalhealth,
with colleges frequently the frst
source of support and guidance
about concerns beyond education.
At Worthing College, we have
considered ways in which we can
collaboratewiththeNationalHealth
NurseLouisesays
We aim to improve the overall
Health and Wellbeing of students
at Worthing College and we are
considering ways to develop this
service further. Since working
here I have seen how important it
is for students to have accessible

Studying in the UK is very interesting. You get lots of help and teachers
will always help you when you have any questions. Some of the colleges
take you on a camping trip where you get lots of experience, but in my
country Afghanistan you dont get much support and they never help you.
In the UK you get lots of opportunity and all the opportunities will help
you. You get long vacations and student fares on the train. You also have a
big library at every college in the UK. In my country they dont have any
libraries. Teachers just want money and most of the teachers just come
to class and go back home and most of the students are uneducated. In
my country students dont respect each other, most of the time they
fight. Im really happy to study in the UK. Its much easier and very
interesting.
In the UK they provide good things for students. They also provide
transport, money and they persuade students to come to college every
day. In the UK students have their own privacy and they have their own
choice to choose what subjects they want to study. In the UK they have
museums where students can go free and learn about history, but in my
country they dont have anything like museums thats why students dont
know anything. In my country there arent any chairs or tables for
students, so they study on the floor, but in the UK they have everything.
Its very comfortable to study and do homework.

Worthing coach Mike Bridges was
delighted with the win and said:
Finals are usually nervy affairs and
thisonewasnodifferent.
We defended Chichesters direct
approach extremely well and when
we passed the ball with tempo we
created chances. Each girl gave it
their all and they fully deserve the
accolade of being the best team in
thecountyforthisseason.
