The annual college FE Student Awards ceremony took place on Thursday 5th July when 34 students from all department across the college were presented with awards from their tutors for their outstanding achievements during the year.

The evening, attended by the Mayor and Mayoress of Swindon, governors and employers, celebrated the achievements of further education students in the presence of friends, family and staff. The students have achieved outstanding results or made outstanding progress on their courses and thoroughly deserved their prestigious accolades.

One of the highlights of the evening were the last two awards which were for “Contribution to the Community” and ”Best Overall Student” which were announced by Swindon College Principal Andrew Miller and presented by the Mayor. The surprised winners, Jade Claridge and Rebecca Dudley, were shocked and elated to receive the extra awards.

Rebecca, who is heading off to Bristol University to study Biochemistry following on from her Level 3 Forensic Science course at Swindon College, said: "This is a marvellous surprise at the end of an already enjoyable evening. I am so proud to be nominated and would like to thank everyone for making this such a special evening for us."

The Mayor, Councillor Mick Bray, addressed the audience at the end of the evening and said how impressed he was with the achievements of the students and the dedication of the staff and the students' families which helped make their progress possible.
