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.

Level 3 Bricklaying student creates a Brickwork Dalek.

Here is model of a Dalek that was created and designed by one of our Level 3 bricklaying students.

Stephen Kent made the model to stretch and challenge himself and he used drinks cans, wire, plant pots and a solar light to decorate the brick work. The model can be seen at the CUBE from the reception area through the large glass windows if you would like to see it in situ.

 Well done Steve!
