Liskeard School & Community College hosted the Cornwall School Games recently after inclement weather imposed cancellations on a number of primary events at the Games hosted by Bude and Launceston. Liskeard School was happy to step in and host the rearranged games a week later at very short notice so that primary students across the county would still get the chance to compete and have their day.

The first ever Bridge Academy Graduation took place on Friday 21st July in the Devonport Guildhall. Camron Smith, Liam Heard, Josh Ryan and Jake Reeve were presented with their graduation certificates and folders commemorating their year by Lindsey Hall, Director of the Real Ideas Organisation (RIO).

The group are the first graduates of a pioneering new course run by RIO in conjunction with Liskeard School and Community College. The course takes sixteen-year olds who are not sure of their next steps and direction after finishing school at sixteen and sets them up with a range of opportunities to network with businesses and social enterprizes in Devon and Cornwall, running events, creating products and ultimately setting up their own small social enterprize initiatives. The year has seen the young men achieve great things: communicating and public speaking, budgeting and controlling finances, using their imagination and creating new products, and engaging with a whole host of different people and employment areas. They have all grown as individuals in a variety of ways, crossing new boundaries and making significant personal growth as individuals.
