Selby College marked the end of the academic year with a number of award ceremonies, celebrating its students’ achievements.
Sport & Public Services, Construction, Care & Early Years and Project SEARCH students were acknowledged in a series of celebration events where they received awards for their outstanding contributions at College over the past year.
Sport & Public Services tutors hosted an outdoor awards event, where staff and students enjoyed pizza, crepes and a year-in-review video they had created.
Students from both subjects were then presented with a range of awards including ‘Academic Excellence’, ‘Personality of the Year’ and ‘Team of the Year’.
Care & Early Years and Health & Social Care students were also recognised with ‘Student of the Year’, ‘Success Against Adversity’ and ‘Creativity and Innovation’ awards as part of a celebration event attended by their loved ones.
Carla Cantrell, Head of Care & Early Years, said: “It has been a pleasure to see our students flourish over the past year and to celebrate their achievements as part of our annual awards ceremony. A lot of students are progressing onto further study with us, which is something we strive for and is a testament to the success of our department. I’m also looking forward to seeing what our students going to achieve beyond the college, with some pursuing careers or further study at university or at our University Centre.”
