HUDDERSFIELD New College gave a Caribbean Welcome to new students at an open day.

The college adopted a West Indian theme to introduce new students to the school.

Current students wore Caribbean dress and provided entertainment for the visitors.

Kate Birch, who, along with many students helped to organise the event, said: "It's a very difficult time moving from high school to college, so many students felt we should make the open day a different experience.

"We wanted to create a more informal atmosphere, so it wasn't very intimidating for our new students," she added.

The college is also involved in a Healthy College standard, and included it in the open day with a variety of healthy, non-alcoholic cocktails.

Drinks company Ben Shaws gave numerous bottles of water to help along the healthy Caribbean theme.
