Further Education Students Celebrate End of Year with Awards Ceremonies

In honour of their hard work and commitment, Further Education students have been celebrated for their successes at Loughborough College, in several course-specific ceremonies.

The campus was bursting with pride as students were joined by their families and friends, who enjoyed presentations and awards in the Sports Hall.

Tutors and Curriculum Managers shared anecdotes and memories with the students, reflecting on the times they’ve shared in the classroom, as well as the skills and knowledge developed.

Corrie Harris, Principal and CEO at Loughborough College shared how great it was for the students to have this time to celebrate their success with their peers.

In her speech to students, Corrie encouraged them to take a moment to reflect on everything they’ve achieved during their time at the College, and the experiences they’ve had.

She said: “This event is testament to the resilience and determination you have all shown. Each of you has navigated through challenges, embraced opportunities, and demonstrated an unwavering commitment to your studies. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed, and it is an honour to celebrate your success today.”

Across a total of nine moving and inspiring ceremonies, every curriculum area had time to celebrate their achievements, with awards being handed out for Student of the Year and Most Improved in each class.

Business student Lily Astill was presented with the Student of the Year Award for her dedication to her course, whilst balancing her own business. She shared: “It feels amazing! Loughborough College has taught me so much that I can use every day in my business and in everything I do going forward. I am so grateful for this award and the support of all the staff who have helped me along the way.”

Following the ceremony, learners, friends, and family were able to enjoy the good weather and played lawn games whilst enjoying refreshments and treats prepared by students at the Radmoor Restaurant.
