Newcastle Sixth Form College

NSFC takes part in city wide project

14 September

Students from 152 different countries will be arriving in Newcastle over the next month and 25 days of celebrations have been organised to welcome them to the city.

Organised to coincide with the International Welcome Weeks of the city’s three Higher Education (HE) institutions, Newcastle and Northumbria universities and Newcastle College, the celebrations kicked off with a flag-raising ceremony organised by Newcastle NE1, the city’s Business Improvement District (BID).

Throughout the period seven spotlights, located at prominent and iconic locations throughout the city, including the Newcastle Sixth Form College building on Westmorland Road, will light up the sky each evening, with their beams converging above Grey’s Monument. The opening and closing of the student welcome are marked by spectacular fireworks displays on the evenings of 8th September and 2nd October.
