SCFE prioritizes student well-being and staff and students work together to create a sense of belonging and to build confidence, kindness, resilience and flexibility in our community. A recent Wellbeing Week organised by students and teachers was designed to combat stress, promote healthy habits, and create a more supportive learning environment. The week was packed with activities chosen by students for students, making them both engaging and relevant.
Mindfulness Sessions: Experts guided students through relaxation techniques to help them manage stress and improve focus.
Pilates Classes: Short, fun Pilates sessions delivered by our students offered a gentle way to stretch, improve posture, and boost energy levels.
Blood Pressure Readings: Free blood pressure checks were carried out by our Fitness and Leisure students
Creative Expression: A "Stone Painting for Gaza" fundraiser run by the Advanced Art Students allowed students to express themselves artistically while supporting a worthy cause. Students in other creative courses in Fashion, Floristry and Art provided beautiful artwork and flowers around the building for the lucky finders to take home.
Students from Social Studies and Youthwork programs played a vital role in Wellbeing Week by manning a dedicated Health Promotion This informative resource covered a wide range of topics around mental, physical, and sexual health, providing students with a safe space to ask questions and access valuable resources.

Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion
The college embraces a diverse student body. The World Map Activity during Wellbeing Week showcased the rich tapestry of nationalities represented at SCFE. Themed Community Tables provided a welcoming space for students to connect with peers who share similar backgrounds. These included tables specifically for mature students, the Ukrainian community, and the LGBTQI+ community.
