Creative Arts students at City College Norwich have created their biggest installation yet, transforming their workshops, studios and classrooms into a major exhibition space.  The End of Year Show, featuring everything from textiles to graphics, painting to sculpture, and photography to multi-media installations, is one of the highlights of the college calendar.

Solutions, City College Norwich’s hairdressing and beauty therapy salons, have met the required standards in order to achieve recognition in both the Good Salon Guide and the Good Training Guide.  These key professional benchmarks will further enhance the salons’ reputation for offering first class hairdressing and beauty treatments to the public, and as an excellent place in which to train.

Television chef Cyrus Todiwala OBE, who runs Café Spice Namasté in London, worked alongside trainee chefs from City College Norwich last night for a special charity dinner.  The evening was organised to raise funds for Phoenix Inspire, a charity set up by former Head of the Hotel School, Mick Cooper, which creates hope and opportunity for some of the poorest people in Bulgaria by training them to become chefs.
