Students were recently praised for their hard work during their studies at Havant Campus and Alton College’s annual award ceremony held at both Havant and Alton campuses.
On Friday, 7 July, and Tuesday 11 July 2023 students from all three campuses were recognised at the prestigious awards in which a selection of individuals were invited to attend the ceremony to celebrate their academic successes.
The awards began on our Havant campus where prizes were presented to 25 exceptional individuals from a range of subjects including Health & Social Care, Visual Arts & Media, and Adult Learning. This was followed by recognising a further 14 students at our Alton College, again from a range of subject areas.
HSDC’s Deputy Principals Richard Barlow and Dominic Asater congratulated the successful students for their outstanding achievements and commendable efforts. The ceremony was also attended by friends and family of the invitees and it was extremely clear to see how proud each and every guest was.
Polly Sharman, who won Student of the Year for Adult Learning (South Downs) said:
Alton College Winners
“I am really shocked but pleasantly surprised to be invited along to the Student Awards. I have now completed two courses at HSDC which have been great. I have recently studied an Access course in Counselling which really pushed me but I enjoyed it. The lecturers are the reason I was able to complete the course despite some setbacks as they really encouraged me to believe in myself. As a mature student, it can be daunting studying at college but all the staff have really been great.”
Amber Morrison, who was awarded Student of the Year for English and Languages said:
“I am very honoured to have been invited to the Student Awards. I loved studying at Alton College and I am really glad I came here. I really enjoyed the style of teaching – it has been incredible. I am now going on to study Law at the University of Reading.”
Cailan Landscheit, who was awarded Student of the Year for Performing Arts & Music added:
“I am really honoured to have been invited to the Student Awards as I have worked really hard during my time at Alton College. My teachers have been really helpful throughout my studies and it feels great to be recognised for my hard work. I am going on to study at a London drama school. The audition process was really hard and I am very proud that I got in.”
There were also an extra two awards for ‘Student of the Year’ for both our Havant and South Downs campuses and Alton Campus. This was awarded to Ellie Dominy who studied at our South Downs Campus and Shaun Hinks who studied on our Alton Campus. Both were extremely surprised yet overjoyed to take home this award.
