Social Activities

RNC Enrichment Team working with a student Horse riding White water rafting and other outdoor recreation available

It’s not all about learning at RNC. Whilst essential for your development on to an independent life, even the best qualifications mean little without the social skills and experiences you will develop during your time at the College. In recognition of this, younger learners attend Enrichment Sessions each Wednesday afternoon, and the older learners attend Employment Sessions. Both activities are with the full support of specialist RNC staff.

We also offer a wide range of recreational activities for you to get involved in. Quizzes, bingo and other social activities such as pool tournaments, are often on offer in the student bar, The Dog and Cane. There is a fully active Student Union in place at RNC, who provide a wide support and social network for learners. For those who are under 18, Chatterbox is the Common Room where learners can watch a DVD, listen to music, play the piano or compete in computer games tournaments.
