Celebrating
staff success
WE CELEBRATED the many
achievements of our staff at a
ceremony at Ayr Racecourse,
sponsored by partners.
This event provides a fantastic
platform to celebrate the
vast array of talent within the
College, and gives those at the
College an opportunity to reflect
on what has been an exciting
year.
Congratulations to all our
prizewinners and runners up
and a huge thank you to our
sponsors who made the night
possible.

WORK EXPERIENCE
Ayrshire College’s Marketing team had Kirsty McMillan,
a student from Stewarton Academy, joining them for a
week’s work experience on 1 December.
The 6th year student plans to go on to study Events
Management at university, and during her time at the
College, Kirsty’s passion for working at events was
evident and she was a pleasure to work with.
Kirsty achieved a lot in her placement and wrote a number of blog posts that
are available to read at http://ayrshirecollegeblog.wordpress.com.
