Latest news and developments at Weston College
We have seen fantastic progress with the fitness of our Protective Services learners. The majority of classes have been introduced to Initial Military Fitness (IMF) as well as more functional fitness such as stretcher races on the beach.
Students have done an amazing job so far, and will continue to be “pushed” for the remainder of the year. Students are also working on their fitness outside of college in their own time and take ownership on their progress, which is great to see. The benefits of this will help career progression as well as physical and mental health promotion.
Our Year 2 students also started on a high, completing a 1-night residential in the Brecon Beacons.
There was a reintroduction to map reading and a canoeing serial on Glyn. The learners camped overnight in wet conditions, which assisted in the development of resilience.
Weston College is delighted to announce, that four learners have been shortlisted, for the national Association of Colleges’ (AoC), Student of the Year Awards.
Each year, the AoC Student of the Year awards celebrate truly unique students from colleges across England who deserve recognition and will go on to inspire others.
These awards are an opportunity to highlight outstanding and exceptional individuals and showcase their achievements, talents and successes. These students have gone above and beyond to give back and positively impact their college and community.
The four learners who have been shortlisted, are:
- Jack – Apprentice of the Year
- Teryena – Adult Student of the Year
- Jack – Higher Education Student of the Year
- Paige – Student Green Commitment Award
Sir Paul Phillips, Principal and Chief Executive of the Weston College Group, said: “I am so proud of the four learners that have been shortlisted for these prestigious awards.
“Each of the learners have gone above and beyond, not only in their studies, but also for their community, defying the odds and producing consistently fantastic results.
“I’d like to wish Jack, Teryena, Jack and Paige the best of luck, with the finalists due to be announced next month, at the AoC Annual Conference.”
The finalists for each of the awards will be announced in November, with the winners being crowned in Spring 2023.
