1. What could the Centre do to improve? 

• More members of staff
• Have more classes and be more hard on the work. Some students need to be taught some manners because I don’t like coming to school and seeing people being disrespectful to others
• Longer breaks
• More things to do at break
• I originally wanted to be in hair, I hate catering because I don’t enjoy cooking
• Sandwiches – would prefer rolls, cheese spread and cucumber
• Allow us to smoke
