Passports at the ready!

Passports at the ready!


Ten students and two members of staff,  have been selected for a trip to Canada, funded by the UK Government’s Turing Scheme, have been meeting recently to prepare for jetting off in May to attend Centennial College in Toronto.

The students are from a range of faculties including cyber security, childcare, motor vehicle, business and enterprise and animal care, and include both full and part-time students and apprentices.

There will be opportunities for sightseeing, social events and learning about the lifestyle, culture and customs of Canada. A great chance to develop students as Global Citizens.

Centennial College is recognised as one of the most culturally diverse colleges in Canada, welcoming more than 14,000 international and exchange students in 2022.


I am soo excited and grateful to have been given the opportunity to attend this international trip and strive to make it one to remember for every one of the students attending. I have created this blog to document our time away. 

We head over in the middle of May, so please connect and stick around for exciting updates and posts about our time there!

Passports at the ready! 🍁🇨🇦✈️

Dr. Craig Stephenson

Today Kerryn and I met with Dr. Craig Stephenson, President and CEO of Centennial College (2019-2024).

Animal Welfare

Toronto Wildlife Centre which is the only wildlife center in all of Toronto. We unfortunately were not able to get a behind the scenes tour but there were three observation windows in the back of the center, one had a view into the operating room, there were no operations being performed but it was really interesting to be able to see the set up and how it was different to the set-up of some of the operating rooms I have seen in Scotland. Then next room was a room that some animals are rehabilitated in and currently there was no animals, however lucky window three was a one-way mirror into a care room where there was pigeon's, orphaned racoons and orphaned opossums where being feed and cared for.   TNR Course – Trap-Neuter and return.
