Each first-year received an information pack about the local area, and entry bracelets marked each year group. Ice-breaking games, including a lively \u201cSpeed Introductions\u201d session and creative team challenges filled the afternoon with energy. A performance by the \u201cFantastic Five,\u201d a group of second- and third-year students performing an original song, was a particular highlight.
