AWARD-winning students have been urged to ‘be bold and aspire for greatness’ during a ceremony to celebrate their hard work and success.
More than 50 Northampton College students, including designers, stylists, engineers and apprentices, were honoured at the annual Daventry Campus Awards.
Cllr Chris Millar, Leader of Daventry District Council, congratulated the award winners and told guests: “Be bold, be creative, strive for all you want. This is the time in your life to take risks and aspire for greatness – and I am once again humbled and impressed by all the students and staff here at Daventry Campus – congratulations to you all.”
Most Determined Student award went to Vritika Mistry, who was commended by her art and design teachers for her ‘can do’ attitude and love of art. Guests were told that Vritika “works extremely hard, acts upon advice and never gives up”.
Jack Shepherd scooped the Best Apprentice award, having quickly impressed the team at boutique hair salon Rocco & Co, where he has now been offered a job. “I want to thank the college and staff for being so supportive and patient,” said Jack, “I am so excited for my future.”
Principal of Northampton College, Pat Brennan-Barrett, said: “These awards are a wonderful and fitting opportunity to celebrate the lives and achievements of our inspirational students, who are helping to make Daventry Campus an incredible place to study.”
Other winners on the night include vehicle maintenance student Zak Marklew-Perkin. His teachers described Zak as “enthusiastic and conscientious, always eager to learn and often early to lessons to get a head start.”Pictures of all the Daventry Campus award winners can be seen on the @NorthamptonCollege Facebook page.
