It’s a new month and I have no idea where this year has gone, but here we are in June… At the beginning of each month we print out a new calendar. Then we read through the blog post and pick the days that we would like to celebrate. We write those days out onto our calendar and pop the calendar onto the fridge. Happy Celebrating!!! Click on the calendar image, it will open in a new tab, print it out (landscape works better) and then colour it and fill in the days that you want to celebrate… pop it on the fridge and you are good to go. Click on the image, it will open in a fresh tag…...

Others are seeking a place to begin, so we can show you how to trim your child’s hair in...

Radithor came in tiny glass bottles only 2 inches tall. They contained triple-distilled water mixed with small quantities of two radioactive substances. Imagine being a typical American at the drugstore in the 1920s. What might you be shopping for? You may want to purchase some dry herbs. You know how to make a comfrey poultice to treat bruises and sprains. Perhaps you need rosinweed because your horse is wheezing. The local drugstore is where you buy your hair care products, like Madam C.J. Walker’s Wonderful Hair Grower. You also get essential hygiene items here, such as tooth powder. The pharmacist or an employee greets you when you walk in the door. If you live in a small town, they know...
Traditional school pathways aren’t for everyone. There are some students, for example, who simply don’t take to the typical learning route like others; but that shouldn’t stop them achieving their professional goals, or graduating to a university place. At Youth College (International), students captivated by sport, engineering and design are following an alternative pathway – and thriving. That alternative is a Vocational Baccalaureate (VB) programme from the Vocational Training Council.

The programmes offer project-based learning, allowing students to develop 21st-century skills such as design...
