The exhibition will be open to the public. Share your experiences on www.facebook.com/HalesowenCollege50 or email 50years@halesowen.ac.uk

To celebrate Birmingham Pride this weekend, there are a number of things happening at the College. A rainbow flag is flying outside. There are wonderful displays in the refectory and Library. Rainbow cookies are on sale in Munch Express and Starbucks and on Friday there will be rainbow nail and body art in Munch Block 8 and the Library. Plus, there are lots of free stickers!

Extra Coaches on 26 May, 7 & 9 June Due to the number of candidates for exams on these dates extra coaches will be on standby to relieve any pressure points. Students are advised to stay at their pick up points if the coach is full and the driver will call for a relief coach.

Our Graphics students looked to the past for inspiration to design the annual Mayfly Festival poster. Second year Graphic Design students studied the Psychedelia movement, born in the hippie subculture of San Francisco, and the ‘look’ of much of the swinging 60s. The winning design was produced by Cameron Botfield with runners up George Thorne and Daniyal Khan. This year's Mayfly Festival will be held on Friday 20 May, from 5.30pm at Old Halesonians Rugby Club. It will feature performances from music, dance and drama students, food and craft stalls, archery, shooting and more. Everyone is welcome!
