Live-ins
Live-ins We are so excited to re-introduce live-ins at St Martin’s College. These live-ins provide an opportunity for our students and teachers to come together in a more relaxed environment. The first Level 6 live-in took place last week. The group enjoyed a nature walk and games, sports sessions and a trip to the cinema amongst other activities which focused on learning about themselves and each other. Students bonded, built friendships and made memories that they will cherish forever.
