“Learning never exhausts the mind.” Leonardo da Vinci

At SFX College we find that learning is a renewable energy. Passing it on successfully can,

sometimes, be the tiring element! It is because of the nourishing quality of learning that we

want to share learning as broadly as possible. To this end we have an Early Years’ Nursery

on site and we also have our Adult Community Education (ACE) programme. In the morning

we drag our reluctant 16-18 year olds from their beds to lessons; in the evening, just as our

young adults are beginning to wake up properly, we send them home and open our doors to

adults, tired from work and the exertions of the day. We may need to re-think the timetabling

strategy!

The host of programmes which we offer to our adult community is wide-ranging, engaging

and recreational, in its broadest sense. From Tap Dancing to Japanese, to Floristry – take a

look at the online prospectus to see the array of possibilities. Not only will you enhance your

knowledge and skills, you will almost certainly form some great new friendships. It is an

opportunity to try something new, or revisit a skill which you never quite consolidated.

Most of the programme happens during the evening period but there is a smaller group of

courses which run during the day. In a demanding and fast paced urban environment the

opportunity to stop, think and reflect – or to dance off some pent-up energy – is time well-

invested.

We conduct a quality assessment on the courses we offer each year and we will ask for your

feedback and commit to acting upon it. We are proud to declare that our adult programmes

routinely receive commendations for the quality and the skill of our programme teachers,

both from external evaluations and, most crucially, from our adult students. Why not indulge

yourself with a course which we guarantee you will neither forget nor regret? It could well be

the tonic you were looking for.

applicants of any substantial change in this information. St Francis Xavier College does not intend by publication of this prospectus to create any

contracted or legal agreement with applicants, accepted students, their advisors or any other person. St Francis Xavier College is unable to

accept any liability if it should prove necessary to cancel any proposed programme of study prior to its scheduled start. In the event of such

cancellation, we will take reasonable steps to transfer students affected by the cancellation to an agreed programme or refund the fees. Courses

may also be closed if they do not recruit sufficient student numbers; again fees will be refunded if applicable.

Enrolment Fees

You will find the course fee displayed with each individual course description. This fee is

payable in full on enrolment.

For every enrolment there is a £10 administration fee. This is NON-REFUNDABLE and will cover

all courses enrolled on a particular term.

If you wish to try a course, before enrolling in full, you may attend a ‘taster’ session for the

fee of £10.00. This fee will cover your administration fee, leaving you to pay the overall full course fee on enrolment.

Guest attendance: The fee to attend a single session of a class, by arrangement with the tutor, is

£10 payable in advance.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You should assume that your enrolment has been accepted unless we

contact you. We will not normally send an acknowledgement or a receipt unless this is requested and a stamped addressed envelope supplied.

Non-accredited Language Class Information –

French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish

Please note that the following classes are extremely popular and that places are allocated on a

first-come, first-served basis. If recruitment is excessively high we will aim to open new classes

to accommodate student demand. Depending on tutor availability, additional classes may not

necessarily be held on the same evening as outlined in the prospectus. As additional classes

are added to the programme we will update our website community.sfx.ac.uk to highlight any

changes. Please check the website or contact the Administration office on 020 8772 6060 if you

are making a late booking, and we will be happy to confirm where places are still available.

If you wish to continue with your tuition at the end of term we will aim to provide a progressive

class for you. However, classes will only run subject to sufficient student recruitment which

could mean in the spring or summer term your class is amalgamated with another, of the same

level, to make it viable to commence. If we have to amalgamate a class we will be unable to

guarantee you will have the same tutor, and depending on tutor availability we may again have

to alter the evening your class is held on. If you are certain you wish to continue with your class

for the next term then an early enrolment is very helpful and will assist us in making sure your

class is viable to run.

To view further student information, please select “Help & Advice” on the menu bar of our website

community.sfx.ac.uk

If you do make a late booking in the spring or summer terms we would again advise you

to check the website for up-to-date alterations to the programme. ❼

Languages & Art - Daytime Classes

Thursday, 9.30am -11.30am, £100 per term, (£80.00)*

Duration: 10 weeks per term (*8 weeks: Summer term only)

Italian conversation Tuesday, 10am - 12 noon, £100 per term

Duration: 10 weeks per term

These courses are ideal for students who have already a good level in the target language, preferably

upper intermediate: the participants are assumed to have knowledge of the building blocks of grammar

(the present, past and future tenses, sentence construction) and a good range of vocabulary. They are

able to absorb newspaper articles in the target language without too much difficulty. Perhaps the

students are a bit rusty, but this course will help re-activate their language skills.

The conversation classes will help the students to put their linguistic knowledge into practice, improve

their pronunciation and widen their linguistic as well as general knowledge thanks to a variety of

speaking exercises: group discussions, pair work, individual short presentations followed by questions &

answers.

The conversation topics are often inspired by current events in the cultural, social and political sphere.

More general cultural topics, like the country’s traditions, are on the cards too. Some of the chosen

conversation topics, -especially those arising from the latest news- are bound to be controversial and

challenging. This approach will facilitate the students’ involvement in meaningful discussions with the

aim of creating an ideal setting in which the students can practise exchanging opinions, explaining pros

and cons, defending their point of view and polish their skills of persuasion in the target language.

Art in the Daytime Wednesday, 9.30am - 12 noon, £110 per term

Duration: 10 weeks per term

little or no experience to the more accomplished

including watercolours will be developed at the pace of

the individual by a professional artist. All students will

be expected to purchase basic materials and advice

will be given at the start of each term.

cost, per student.
