The team consisted of 2 Bricklayers, 2 Plasterers and 2 Painters and Decorators, with Jess Heath & Alfie Robson taking part in the New Entrant category and Trent Johnson, Alex Whittington, Liam Schofield and Jim Wroe competing in Senior competitions.
The different competition tasks vary according to the trade, but all of the competitors are challenged to create a piece of work to correct specifications and are marked on accuracy, skill and attention to detail. To be chosen to take part in the event the students have shown great promise to their tutors and it is an accolade to be invited to represent Barnsley College in the biggest Construction skills event of the year.
Here are a few photos from the event:
As you can see from the photographs, all our students did extremely well in their allocated task. They had to work for the entire day to create the pieces specified by the judges, who then marked the work in the brief interval before the award ceremony.
The presentation was hosted by a spokesperson from Hull College and all the staff and students from the participating colleges gathered together for the results. Team Barnsley College did really well with certificates and medals being awarded to 3 of our students. Alfie Robson won the New Entrant category in the Plastering competition, with Jim Wroe gaining 3rd place in the Senior Plastering contest. Jess Heath was really pleased to be awarded first place in the New Entrant Painting & Decorating category and hopes to continue her competition career next year. Trent Johnson was not awarded a medal, but we have been reliably informed that he came 4th in the Brickwork Seniors, missing out on joint third place by only 1 point.
A great day was had by the staff and students who attended Skillbuild 2015 and we hope the learners are eager to take part in future competitions. Well done to everyone who competed and thanks to Hull College and the Skillbuild team for organizing the event.
