No appointment necessary and it is a FREE. Woodies Youth CentreWe are fortunate to have on school site a Youth Club, run by Medway Council by experienced and qualified youth workers. This is open on Monday evenings for those wishing to do a qualification or something that will link to their Duke of Edinburgh Award, learn a musical instrument or do something else (food hygiene, first aid, learn a new skill, or even for those 16 and over the opportunity to do a BTEC qualification in Peer Mentoring). Each qualification costs only a fiver plus 50p entry fee to Woodies! Social Evenings happen on Wednesday and Friday evenings from 7.15pm-9.30pm, where a range of activities are agreed. There is also an opportunity this term to go swimming, fishing or to go to the theatre to see We Will Rock You.
