Southwark College held its annual Student Awards last week to recognise and celebrate the perseverance, hard work and dedication of our students who have demonstrated exceptional behaviour, effort and values during their course.
Students and staff enjoyed a celebratory food and drinks reception, after which, Annette Cast, Principal of Southwark College and Kim Caplin, Chair of Governors presented them with awards and certificates for their achievements throughout the academic year 2021 – 2022.
Creative Media Production & Technology student, Morteza Echresh received a special commemorative award presented by Janet Holness in memory of beloved staff member Paula Holness as recognition for his resilience and positive attitude when facing difficult challenges since coming to the UK, achieving his qualifications, and pursuing his dream of going to university and having a successful career.
Annette Cast, Principal at Southwark College, said: "Congratulations to all our awards winners. I am delighted to witness our students' achievements and present them with certificates and awards to recognise their dedication, resilience and progress in their studies this academic year. I look forward to seeing you all succeed in your next steps into education or employment.
"The Student Awards ceremony was a great opportunity for the students to show gratitude to their teachers and staff members who provided support, advice, and tutoring throughout the year to help them achieve their goals. I want to thank all our staff for their hard work and continued efforts to provide an excellent learning experience to our students."
The awards ceremony was a true celebration of the effort put in by students over the course of the year as well as their resilience and determination. It was also an opportunity to thank tutors, family and friends for the support they provided to help students along their studying journeys.
