Bishop Burton College celebrates student success
CELEBRATION: The audience gathered to celebrate the success of Bishop Burton College students
By Rick Lyon
The achievements of Bishop Burton College students have been celebrated at two events attended by friends and family, industry partners and special guests.
The traditional annual events recognise and applaud the hard work and success of those students completing their further education courses. They had to be held online for the past two years because of Covid restrictions, but made a return to the college’s equine arena as in-person events this year.
Following a welcome from Chairman of Governors Alan Menzies, students completing courses in a range of subjects including agriculture, equine, animal management, engineering, sport, art and design, business, public services and education and childcare were presented with certificates of achievement by their Course Managers.
Trophies were also presented to students who had won individual honours by Deputy Principal Kate Calvert. These included a number of awards for Best Student across subject areas, as well as several specialist awards and trophies.
SUCCESS: All students received a certificate to recognise their achievements
Kate said: “This event is very special for everyone at the college and it was wonderful to be able to welcome friends, family, industry partners and special guests. Huge congratulations to all the students celebrating their success. We’re extremely proud of all they’ve achieved and we wish them all the very best for their future careers or continuing education.”
A series of films entitled Final Thoughts were made to showcase student achievements. The inspirational stories explored the students’ experiences at Bishop Burton and their thoughts as they move onto their next steps.
A vote of thanks was given by Student Association Vice President Jack Bowler, who said: “What better way to finish our time at Bishop Burton than by sharing some of the incredible experiences we’ve had as a student body.
“A huge thanks to our friends, family and the amazing teaching and support staff – we couldn’t have done it without them and are grateful for all the amazing memories we’ll take with us as we move onto the next chapter of life.
“We’re ready for the future and whatever comes next.”
