Celebrating Success 2023

Dudley College of Technology reinstated its Celebrating Success Awards Event, after the hiatus of the pandemic on Friday 16 June.  The event saw over 60 learners and their parents, family and friends attend the showcase for the outstanding achievements of learners – providing the opportunity to acknowledge the journey they had been on.  The awards were given in three main categories Outstanding Academic Achievement, Outstanding Distance Travelled, and Outstanding Achievement in English or maths. In addition, there were three Principals’ Awards the first was the Greener Future Award, awarded to Dan Watts who is currently studying at Entry Level 3. This award was given for the work he does at Saltwells nature Reserve maintaining wildlife habitats, litter picking and generally contributing to the maintenance of the environment.  The second award was the Principal’s award for contribution to our community, awarded to Molly Capewell for her work at the McMillan care home where she was initially on work placement but has continues to contribute to their fund-raising efforts and work with their residents. Thirdly, Dudley Sixth learner Ravneet Kaur won the Principal’s award for contribution to college life. Ravneet, who was nominated by the Students’ Union (SU) is an Equality Diversity and Inclusion Manager and an active member of the SU helping to mentor other learners across college as part of her many activities.

The evening began with a reception at which Music Production and Music Technology students performed an upbeat set list under the guidance of Tutor Matt Dudley. The awards ceremony itself was hosted by Chief Executive and Principal of the College: Neil Thomas and Vice Principal Curriculum: Dian Martin, with special contributions from Assistant Principal’s Rachel Corns, Samantha Jocelyn Sears and Claire Millard. 

The event was given the Wow! factor when guests were treated to memorable performances from Performing Arts Dance and Musical Theatre students: Susanna Greaney, Hannah Burgess,  Lucas Harrison, Clarissa Prince and Icarus Walker.

All of the winners were very much deserving of their prizes, and it was a proud moment for everyone there to acknowledge the diligence, perseverance and sheer effort the learners had given over the last academic year.
