Petroc Students Honoured at A Level Celebration Day as Exam Season Begins
As A Level students across the country gear up for their final exams, we took a moment to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our A Level students, with a vibrant and heartfelt celebration day and awards ceremony.
The event brought together students and teachers to acknowledge both academic excellence and personal growth in a wide range of award categories. As anticipation for the exam season sets in, the celebration served as a moment of pride and encouragement for the students who have worked tirelessly over the past two years.
Faculty Manager of A Levels, Sarah Freeman, opened the ceremony with words of inspiration: “Today is about recognising the journey as much as the destination. These awards honour not just results, but the resilience, creativity, and commitment that make you exceptional.”
Awards presented during the ceremony included:
- Most Improved Student Award – Celebrating students who have shown remarkable academic and personal growth.
- Subject Excellence Award – Recognising top performance in specific subject areas.
- Commitment to Learning Award – Honouring students who consistently went above and beyond in their studies.
- Best Contribution to Enrichment – Highlighting those who actively participated in extracurricular activities that enriched college life.
- Creative Talent Award – Showcasing exceptional skill and originality in the arts and media.
- STEM Innovation Award – Awarded to students who demonstrated ingenuity and passion in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.
- Resilience and Determination Award – Acknowledging students who overcame significant challenges with perseverance and grit.
- Community Spirit Award – Celebrating those who gave back to the college and local community through volunteering and leadership.
Teachers and tutors spoke passionately about the successes of their students, many of whom are preparing for university, apprenticeships, or careers after college.
The celebration day concluded with refreshments and time for students and staff to reflect on a year of hard work, growth, and community spirit. As exam season kicks off, Petroc’s A Level students head into their next chapter with recognition and support from a proud college community.
