Hello Everyone,

We hope you were able to have a nice Easter at home with your families. 

As we head into another week of Self-Isolation, we have been working to collate a range of exercises that you can take part in from the comfort of your own home. We have teamed up with our friends in the Arts Department to share with you some activities from them as well.
