STEM student Daisy Colebeck from Bournemouth, who has a Cambridge University o er, and Media student Lillie Howes from Totton, who has an o er from University of Winchester, were named joint winners. For 2024, the awards ceremony was reformatted to recognise and celebrate di erent types of student accomplishment from across the college – not just academic accomplishments. e evening began with drinks and canapés, providing the ideal opportunity for parents, sta , winners and sponsors to mingle. Guests then took their seats as host Alexa Phillips o cially opened proceedings on stage, welcoming everyone to the college. A er explaining the new format, she introduced Principal Helen Odhams and Vice Chair of Governors James Hiley-Jones, who took turns to present awards to the winners. In total, 34 awards were delivered, with winners receiving a certi cate and a citation from the nominating sta member, plus a cheque for £100 from the award sponsor. Joint Student of the Year winner, Daisy Colebeck, said a erwards: “It’s really nice to have been acknowledged for all my hard work over the last two years. What makes tonight even more special is that the awards recognise every kind of student here at Brock, not just academic high achievers – that’s what I’m really happy about. “In education, it’s often easy to focus just on the top academic achievers, and I think it’s important that everyone is celebrated. The student body at Brock is broad. You have students who are going to Oxbridge, but also those who have overcome difficult personal challenges and all of those achievements have been celebrated this evening.” Lillie Howes, who shared the Student of Year title with Daisy, said: “I feel slightly overwhelmed by my award this evening. I’ve been at Brock for six years and in a way I really don’t want to leave. I have so many highlights from my time here, and I’ve made friendships and memories that will stay with me forever. Tonight has been a great way to end my time at Brock.” As well as honouring exceptional student contributions and academic performances, the Gala Awards marked the o cial end of the 2023/24 college year. Principal, Helen Odhams, said: “I congratulate all our award winners for their dedication and hard work, which highlight the exceptional talents of our student body. These achievements reflect both their personal commitment as well as the inspirational and supportive environment provided by our staff. “We look forward to seeing their continued success as part of our alumni community. Well done to all of them.” Full list of awards, sponsors and winners: • Sixth Form Student of the Year sponsored by University of Southampton Business school – Lillie Howes • Sixth Form Student of the Year sponsored by LW Repairs – Daisy Colebeck • Access to Higher Education Student of the Year sponsored by Bournemouth University – Macrie Siguiente • Adult Professional Course Student of the Year sponsored by Mindful Education – Nathan West • Apprenticeship Student of the Year sponsored by New Forest District Council – Noah Campbell-Wynter • Higher Education Student of the Year sponsored by University of Portsmouth – Natalie King • Art, Design and Photomedia sponsored by Arts University Bournemouth – Annie Matthews • Business sponsored by Go New Forest – Sophie Gasnier • Computing and IT sponsored by Wise Guys – Hattie Collinge • Construction and Marine sponsored by TSI Turbo Service International – Cristina Radu • Early Childhood and Health sponsored by Link Medical Services – Emily Mansbridge • Employer of the Year – New Forest District Council • Engineering sponsored by Doughty Engineering – Brooke (Cody) James • English and Modern Foreign Languages sponsored by Rhine eld House Hotel – Emily Drew • Extended Project Quali cation sponsored by University of Winchester – Bethany Butlin • Foundation and Inclusive Learning sponsored by Hoburne – Ashley Davey • Functional Skills sponsored by Innovus – Jose Ruiz Garcia • Humanities sponsored by Vida Promotions – Oliver Hession • International sponsored by MASS concrete – Laura Dalvi Calazans • Mathematics sponsored by Scorpion Vision – Em Stocks • PACE sponsored by New Forest Business Partnership – Rheam Young • Performing Arts and Music sponsored by MAST May ower Studios – Lucy Webb • Science sponsored by Exxon Mobil – George Meadows • Service Industries sponsored by Careys Manor Hotel & SenSpa – James Senior • Social Sciences sponsored by Solent LEP – Saskia Sims • Sport sponsored by Paultons Golf Centre – Victoria Thompson • Student Ambassador of the Year sponsored by Balmer Lawn Hotel – Isaac Lewis • Vocational Creative Arts and Media sponsored by Arts University Bournemouth – Tamsin Muir • Paul White Memorial Cup – Luke Daly • Chris Campbell Memorial Prize – Bradley Clark • Lesley Errington Trust Award – Jonathan Thring • Nathan Ridler Memorial Award – Breanna Duose • Emily Longley Memorial Award – Lauren Johnson • Robert Jones Memorial Award – Neve Slattery Two lifesaving de brillator training sessions are taking place at AFC Totton’s Snows Stadium on Friday 13th September in memory of James Brady. 20 places are available for each of the free sessions run by Meon Valley Heartstart UK and Heartbeat; the sessions will start at 10am and 11.45am.
