COLLEGE DEVELOPMENT NETWORK
ANNUAL AWARDS
We had further success at the College
Development Network awards which
took place at the Grand Hotel in
Glasgow in November.
We were Highly Commended in the ‘Health
and Wellbeing’ category and student Stephen
Wilson (winner of the SQA Star Award) was
Commended in the ‘Student Contribution’
category.
We received our Highly Commended award
in recognition of a number of health initiatives
that have provided a hugely positive impact
on the physical, emotional and social
wellbeing of our students and staff.
Celebration
of Success
Before we broke up for the festive break, staff
came together for our annual ‘Celebration of
Success’ awards night at Ayr Racecourse.
Students at the College nominated teams
and individuals for two awards, while nine
categories were nominated by staff.
The night was a huge success with fantastic
prizes, donated by our generous sponsors,
handed out during the raffle that followed the
award ceremony.
We would like to thank all of our sponsors for
their continued support of this important staff
event.
Our first ever smoking cessation group
ultimately led to the College becoming a
smoke free environment after extensive
consultation with staff and students.
Our ‘Healthy Body Healthy Mind’ campaign
was awarded three stars by Scottish Student
Sport for the positive impact that it had made
to the health and wellbeing of students - the
highest mark ever achieved by a college.
The Marketing Team
Outstanding Achievement Award
Stephen meanwhile was ‘Commended’ for his
considerable contribution to the community
after amassing over 300 hours of voluntary
work within schools, community groups and
several other organisations including Active
Schools and Ayrshire Sportsability.
