The event was held in our main hall on campus and was hosted by Keira Jordan, a Public Services student who has been working as one of our Student Ambassadors this year at various events. Awards were given out on the night by Canterbury College's Principal, Victoria Copp-Crawley.
Three types of awards were given out on the night to recognise different levels of success in College. The Student Awards category recognised a hard-working student for each of our departments, ranging from students who had developed significantly throughout the year, to those who had gone above and beyond during their industry placement. Hannah Williams won for Health and Social Care, having excelled through her Health T Level course. Over the past year, she has been selected by the NHS to represent their organisation by participating in a countrywide T Level/NHS partnership webinar, and they have given her glowing feedback for her dedication.
Campus Awards were 6 special awards given to those students who had really stood out this year, such as in areas of career progression, community contribution, inspiration, and achievement, as well as the coveted Students' Union Award and Principal Award.
This year's Students' Union award went to Viola Good, who in their role as the Students' Union's Equalities Officer, has shown an amazing amount of drive and passion. Not only have they successfully run the LGBTQ+ Committee throughout the year, they have used their own initiative to run their own campaigns throughout the year, with a strong on-campus presence as both Equalities Officer and LGBTQ+ President. Students' Union President Bethany Lacey presented this award, thanking Vi for her support over the past year.
The Principal Award this year went to Samantha Gatland, who is one of our EKC Sixth Form College students. Samantha has really thrown herself into everything at College this year, as not only is she a course rep and a student ambassador, but she has also set up and leads the Medical Society. This society is now aligned with the University of Kent Medical school, where they support future medics when they apply for University. Samantha has also been highly supportive of many charity and social action projects in Canterbury, and continues to go above and beyond expectations.
Winning an award alongside Samantha from EKC Sixth Form College was Charlie Adams, who won the department award for Sixth Form. Joining them was our Head of Sixth Form Shelley Birch and Deputy Principal/Director of Sixth Form Emma Wilkinson.
The third type of award were Employer Awards, given to those who have had a big impact on Canterbury College and EKC Sixth Form College this year. These employers have not only helped our students by coming in and giving industry talks, but they have also supported students with work placement, guidance and a range of opportunities throughout the year. Wildwood Trust, one of the leading British animal conservation charities in the UK, won not one, but two employer awards this year, winning in the Catering and Theatrical Media Makeup categories.
A big thank you to all of our attendees, and a massive congratulations to all of our winners. We can't wait to see what the next year holds for you all.
