Aromatherapy, tattoo art and massage sessions were available for Coulsdon College students to try out during their annual activity week.

This year, activities included learning airbrushing techniques, Web Design, Cricket, Eastern Philosophy, Self Defence and First Aid.

The week, which formed part of the key skills and enrichment programme, was designed to broaden horizons, encourage teamwork and promote personal development. Each student's success was recognised by a college certificate of skill and competence.

College organiser Steve Gooch said: "This has been a tough year for Advanced Level students.

"The new modular approach to A Levels means that this summer, they have all taken important AS exams and produced course work."

Referring to the activity he said: "It gives the students a chance to unwind through positive activities after the hard slog of exams.

"It also allows students from different subjects to work together."
