Monday 12pmFood is very important throughout the week. Students could bring their lunch but its much better if we have the funds to pay for lunch each day. During this lunch we helped prepare the students for the company visit to Magnus Health after lunch.6Kelly Family

Monday 1:30pmThe purpose of company visits is not to simply go in and listen to a boring powerpoint for an hour. We tell all our host companies that we will come with questions and its even better when each students goes up to the front and sits next to the business leader and asks a question face to face. Then another students goes up. 7Kelly Family
