Year 14 students recently took part in a series of practical car maintenance sessions led by Cherif, the Occupational Therapist, as part of their Home Management lessons. The sessions provided students with valuable hands-on experience and helped develop important life skills linked to vehicle safety and maintenance.

During the practical activities, students explored key aspects of maintaining a vehicle using the school’s transit vehicle. They learned how to check a car’s tyre tread and tyre pressure, understanding why both are essential for road safety.  Students were also shown where to top up oil and water levels within the vehicle.

The sessions were both informative and enjoyable, helping students build confidence and independence while learning practical skills that will support them in everyday life.
