Dawlish Community College Technology Specialism Awards
The College hosted it’s third Specialism Awards ceremony where students from across the College received individual recognition for their performance within the specialism curriculum areas of Mathematics, Science & Design Technology.
The awards were presented by Dr Anna Nicholson, (a former student of the College), who also presented a brief overview of her own academic and career journey. Dr Nicholson is an excellent example of the calibre of gifted and talented students at the College and illustrates the great job the College can do in catering for students of all needs. Indeed she is one of a large number of our students who have very successful academic careers after their time at many good universities including most recently Ben Whitlock at Oxford University.
During her presentation, Dr Nicholson reinforced to the students, the importance of commitment, resilience and self-belief – all key attributes, which she believes significantly impact on personal success.
The thirty award recipients ranged from Year 7 to Year 11 students – all of which had been nominated by the College’s Faculty Team Leaders for their high performance within the Specialism curriculum areas over the 2011 Autumn Term.
During the ceremony the students received both a certificate and trophy, with an additional cup presented to the two students nominated for their overall Key Stage 3 & Key Stage 4 outstanding Specialism performance.
Lin Caunter, Assistant Principal and Director of College Specialism, not only praised the students for their excellent achievements, but also thanked them for being great ambassadors of the College. In addition, she also congratulated all students for their high performance across all curriculum areas; which is reflected in the continuing upward academic performance indicators of the college and the December 2011 ‘good’ rated Ofsted report.
