Every Wednesday 9-10 AM, Art Cafe, in person. This is an opportunity to speak to the head or deputy head of department. Everybody welcome!
What is Breakfast Club?
Hosted by the Head of Fine and Deputy Head (Christian & Nick), Breakfast Club is an informal space for conversation, and community. You can pop in for a coffee and chat about anything that comes to mind. We can listen, answer questions you might have and resolve concerns or just chat about whatever is the hot topic that week. Breakfast Club continues every Wednesday 9-10am in the FA Cafe.
Everyone welcome. 🙂
