Clubs and activities take place mainly in the evenings and weekends many of which are run by the students themselves.  Each year a number of large events are attended by the whole College community – including sports day, the Eisteddfod (Talent Show), GLEE theatre production and Cultural Event as well as a whole raft of inter-House events such as sporting competitions, bake offs, fancy dress events, cinema evenings and fashion shows.

With such a dynamic, international student population we celebrate events such as Chinese New Year, Nigeria Independence Day, Malaysia Day, Vietnam Independence Day and Azerbaijan Independence Day and enjoy Halloween parties, a Christmas Ball, Easter picnics and BBQs.

Our students are very much encouraged to develop independence, a self-motivation and be ambitious and to enable them to mature as young people, alongside their peers from across the world, in a safe and empowering environment.

Both campuses has excellent facilities and boarding accommodation and are located right in the city centres of both Cardiff and Cambridge with their outstanding amenities including shopping centres, restaurants, cafes and attractions all easily walkable from the College.  Stunning parks, waterfront, prestigious universities, world class sporting venues and theatres as well as places of historic importance provide our students with the ability to explore beyond the College and to take advantage of lectures, societies and local events which make their time at the College a truly enriching experience.
