My Kayleigh’s Going To College!!!

I went to the Sussex Downs College in Eastbourne where my Daughter Kayleigh, had an interview and got her place today starting September, Kayleigh bluetoothed this image to my phone so I guess she wont mind me uploading it here… Her friend Franki got a place too. I suppose it’s some kind of milestone for the parent too to have their firstborn leave school and start college. She’s very excited and so am I, the college is a really good one now they have had some kind of merger with Lewes and built all the different departments that were splattered all over the town onto one Campus, one of the few positive developments in this town (Check December 15th 2007). I went to the same college then known as E.C.A.T. (Eastbourne College of Arts and Technology) and it was naff, most of the techy parts were situated in portakabins on a crappy site up St. Anne’s Road, only Hairdressing and Catering were at the new site. Gradually they built a body repair workshop and introduced vehicle technology and moved all engineering classes to the site followed by the purchase of the old Computing Devices’ high tech building which became E.C.A.T. House. Many other new buildings have appeared including a huge sports complex since.
