Our role during Cadbury's Open Day was full of qualities such as co-operation, work skills, socialisation, etiquette and punctuality. During the Open Day we were the 'Cadbury Student Bloggers' hence the alarming orange t-shirt we wore proudly (!). Throughout the Open Day, during the first 2 hours we had the chance to show fellow future Cadbury students around. We showed them around to the subjects they felt most passionate about, as this gave them an overview of what they were to expect in the future from their chosen course.
Our guests had asked us about our own experience during our time at Cadbury College and we gladly shared our positive and (most importantly) genuine thoughts, of which we had many to talk about. Furthermore, within our last 2 hours of the open day, we showed off our skills of being a true journalist as we took numerous pictures of each teacher passionately talking about the subject they happily teach. Also we spoke to our guests about how their experience at Cadbury College benefited them, and they too gladly expressed how the helpfulness and positive attitude which Cadbury College presented them with went a long and fortunate way.
The main purpose of the Cadbury College Open Day was for future students to get an insight on what their preferred courses at college will be like. Every guest got a chance to explore the deeper knowledge of their chosen subjects and this was the time to put any queries forward about their future courses. Cadbury College catered for the needs of these students answering any questions of which the brief online explanation of the preferred course was lacking. It was also a chance for the future students to come face to face with the teachers and ask all that they needed to know. The Open Day was held to satisfy future students and their needs, and it also gave them a chance to apply to the college beforehand.
During our time at the Open Day, we felt that it would be rather intriguing to ask visitors about their opinion of the college. Overall the response from both parents and students was terrific! We received responses such as “Cadbury College is defiantly going to be my first choice!” Comments were also made about the staff. “The staff were very helpful and welcoming.” When asking about applying to Cadbury: “I’m applying as soon as I get home.” We got a lot of feedback which stated that guests found the college better than what they had imagined it to be. “I didn't expect the college to be so cool”.
To finish off this blog, we personally think that Cadbury College Open Day was quite a success!
