This time the Jackdaw team have tried their hand at interview techniques.  The task was simple: ask the senior management at Monks' Dyke Technology College some tough, difficult questions - well, OK, not really.  But we still had a great time!

Monks’ Dyke students questioned him about costs, time, the facilities and opening times of the new centre. They also expressed a hope that the college would be able to take advantage of the new and improved swimming pool.
