Real Life Learning in Education

Nearly half of employees feel that they have acquired their most valuable skills through work, according to research from lifelong learning charity Campaign for Learning. So ensuring that students have real work experience will give them a clear start in attaining relevant career skills. 

At Perfect Circle we are committed to our dream of successful people, leading healthy lives, in a sustainable environment.  To develop successful people we work with colleges, schools and acadamies to create ‘real life’ learning opportunities for students.  Our latest project involved Burnage Media Arts College, where we worked with over 100 students to develop a 30 second cinema advertisement to promote the College’s unique learning environment that is dedicated to Media and Arts. 

To see the actual film that was created, produced and stared the Burnage Media Arts College students then click the link to YouTube.  You can also visit the www.enjoymedia.co.uk to learn more about the campaign.

My 60 Seconds HPV Outreach Activity

As part of the HPV campaign our outreach activity team targeted recreational and educational venues to directly communicate with the 15 - 18 year old target audience.  The team answered questions about the HPV vaccine programme and distributed the my60seconds leaflet that had further information about programme, including frequently asked questions. 

It also included information on incentive items (prizes) offered via the website promotion for best blog entry and how the target audience is also entered into a prize draw upon receipt of 3rd and final vaccine for the prizes such as 4 x tickets to a premier event at the M.E.N. Arena and a Saks Salon hair makeover.  Bluetooth SMS text messages were also distributed at the events and the recipients could access My60seconds.co.uk to find out more information.

Wardle High School 6th Form Prospectus

Wardle High School is a comprehensive foundation school for young people aged from 11 to 18 years. The school opened in September 1977 and has grown into a popular school with a strong academic record and a positive reputation within the local community.  Perfect Circle has worked with Wardle High School for many years and recently helped them to develop their latest 6th Form Prospectus that would communicate their leading position within the area for 6th Form provision.  From working with the students on a photoshoot, through to developing a design that matched the students design requirements, Perfect Circle created a Prospectus that the School feels communicates their unique positioning.
