Here we have photos of some of our local community meeting up with students during the Meet-a-Family Reception Dinner. The snow was still thick on the ground, as our students gave a warm welcome to our guests.

Meet-a-Family Reception Dinner

We have reached a milestone, as the Meet-a-Family Programme is now in its 30th year! Harlaxton College started the programme back in 1982 with just a handful of families. Today we have in total 50 families providing friendship for over 90 students. The students and families alike enjoy a remarkable and very personal experience. Here’s to the next 30 years!

We organised a very successful afternoon of horse riding for a small group of our students at a local stable. Very enjoyable!
