Construction Student of the Year Awards 2016

The Student of the Year Awards is an annual event that allows us to give praise to the students that have done exceptionally well over the academic year.

One student is chosen from every level of every trade to receive an award and the winners were all nominated by teaching staff for their hard work, attitude and dedication.

We also give out awards for students who have 100% attendance, as this is a great achievement in itself.

This year, the event took place in the CUBE construction building and parents, grandparents and friends came to watch the students receive their award from Vicky Slater, who is one of Barnsley College's assistant principles.

Team BC at the Skillbuild Yorkshire and Humber regional heats 2016

This year Barnsley College had 9 students competing in the Yorkshire and Humber heats of the Skillbuild competition at Leeds College of Building. Our team was made up of Plasterers Alfie Robson and Charlie Smith, Bricklayers Vicky Thornton, Josh Kelly & Jack Evans, Painter and Decorator Jess Heath and Dry Liners Harrison Pilkington, Jack Syddall and Brad Speed.

SkillBuild is a multi-trade competition run by CITB (the Construction Industry Training Board) that has been running for over 45 years.  The Competition challenges the best construction students and apprentices from colleges all over the UK to test their abilities and skills. The winners from the regional heats will then compete in the national final with the chance to be crowned the overall SkillBuild winner in their chosen trade at the skills show.

Barnsley College brought home a 1st in Painting and Decorating Seniors, a 2nd in Plastering Seniors and a 3rd in Bricklaying Seniors. Three of our Dry Liners from the Horbury group also came 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the Dry Lining Seniors. Well done to Team BC!
