Here at HNC we educate, enrich and enlighten students. As a student you will be strongly encouraged to take part in enrichment. Not only does it give you the competitive edge when applying for world-leading universities, apprenticeships and jobs through developing new skills, it also opens up a huge range of opportunities, builds your confidence and enables you to try something new. The benefits from taking part in an enrichment activity can be life-long, and here at HNC we have something for everyone. You can gain a flavour of the different types of enrichments available via the information below. Our information booklet below reveals more about our current offer for students - please note that this is continuously reviewed in response to student feedback and therefore our offer remains subject to change.
Sports
Students are encouraged to stay happy and healthy with a range of sports based opportunities which are available to all - regardless of study programme or sporting ability. Staying physically active helps build resilience and good mental health and wellbeing. You can use our onsite Fitness Suite, trial for a Sports Academy, train in our weekly boxing sessions and even take part in dance or acro workshops.
Leadership Opportunities
Our leadership opportunities ensure you shine at interviews with universities and employers. You could join our Oxbridge Programme, be a dragon in the Young Enterprise challenge or become a Student Diversity Champion, Head Student, Student Governor or IT Representative.
Community Connect
Creative
Express yourself via a wide range of clubs and activities which give you a chance to get creative. You might join our popular knitting club, make jewellery or ceramics, join the Book Club, try your hand at fashion design or even perform in the College musical!
Gain a qualification
Achieving an additional qualification enhances your skills and knowledge and helps you to stand out from the crowd. You can undertake your Duke of Edinburgh's Award (DofE), become a Microsoft Office Specialist, learn British Sign Language, undertake the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) or even gain industry based qualifications such as the Level 3 Coaching award and NCFE Air Cabin Crew.
Health and Wellbeing
Opt for a more relaxed selection of ways to look after yourself through our health and wellbeing selection which offers opportunities such as juggling and Tai Chi and our mindfulness group.
Looking Outwards
Make a difference by volunteering as a coach in a local primary school, fundraising for our Charity of the Year, collecting food for our local food bank or caring for our planet by joining the HNC Green Group - whatever you choose, you'll be making a difference to others whilst growing your skills!
Personal Development
This is all about investing in your future self - join our debate club, learn how to deliver presentations and get career ready with CV workshops and mock interviews.
E-Enrich
You can also enrol on a range of specialist online opportunities, which grow your digital skills whilst expanding your horizons. We offer programmes in areas such as First Aid, the Young Photographers Award, learning a new language and various opportunities to build your cultural capital.
