One Message, Different Voices

Take a look at this powerful film made by the staff of Weston College to show how important it is for everyone from different backgrounds to be included. The film shares heartfelt stories and interviews with a diverse group of staff, showing how accepting different identities and backgrounds can make a big difference. Its purpose is to encourage viewers to think about their own biases and work towards making our community more welcoming to all. We invite everyone, regardless of their background, to join us and be a part of our journey toward a more inclusive future.

Our workplace champions the right of staff to embrace all Afro-hairstyles. We acknowledge that Afro-textured hair is an important part of our Black employees’ racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious identities, and requires specific styling for hair health and maintenance. We celebrate Afro-textured hair worn in all styles including, but not limited to, afros, locs, twists, braids, cornrows, fades, hair straightened through the application of heat or chemicals, weaves, wigs, headscarves, and wraps. In this workplace, we recognise and celebrate our colleagues’ identities. We are a community built on an ethos of equality and respect where hair texture and style have no bearing on an employee's ability to succeed.

Students designing their birdhouses

This month, Animal Management students at Puxton Park Campus have been immersing themselves in an important conservation project as part of their Wildlife and Conservation module. The focus of this project has been on increasing biodiversity and supporting local bird populations through the construction and monitoring of birdhouses, specifically designed for sparrows and owls. 

The project involves creating and painting nest boxes, which are scheduled to be installed around the campus in the coming weeks. These birdhouses aim to encourage on-site breeding, offering safe and suitable habitats for local bird species and contributing to a healthier, more resilient ecosystem.

This hands-on initiative provides a vital learning opportunity for learners. Students are not only enhancing their understanding of animal behaviour and habitat requirements, but also gaining real-world skills in conservation techniques. By actively participating in improving wildlife habitats, they are learning the long-term importance of habitat preservation and the role it plays in maintaining ecological balance. 

With habitat loss continuing to pose a significant threat to global wildlife, projects like this are essential. They prepare the next generation of Animal Management professionals to understand and prevent the threats facing the natural world. Through this work, students are encouraged and empowered to become proactive in the community, allowing them to make meaningful contributions to conservation efforts now and in the future. 

Well done to all the students who took part in this project, it really will have positive impacts!
