WO Norton College students finalists have been selected for the next stage of The Sheffield College Next Top Model contest.
The social media-led competition, open to male and female students across the college, attracted around 80 entries after being launched on Facebook Five finalists were chosen at a stunning catwalk and showcase dance event at the Sheffield City College campus, Granville Road, hosted by radio celebrity presenter JoJo from Capital FM. Those selected included Alicia Irvine (17), an English language, psychology and sociology A Level student and Charlotte Hewitt (18), a performing arts student - both from the local Norton College.
Up for grabs for the winner is the opportunity to be signed onto the books of Sheffield-based DK Model Management, who were part of the judging panel. More than £800 from ticket sales from the night was raised for the Help A Capital Child charity. Said Alicia: “It was a really great evening and to get into the final made it even better.”
Added Charlotte: “It was really nerve-wracking. It was so exciting to get chosen and I feel very happy.” The winner will be announced at The Sheffield College’s annual Sparks Awards, which celebrate the success of students on vocational courses.

Call for crossing at Beauchief
Dear Active8,
SOME of the residents of Beauchief have set up a petition to make Hutcliffe Wood Road safer. Hutcliffe Wood Road is a very fast, busy road. At the top end, near the cemetery entrance, cars come whizzing round the bends from either side and it’s difficult to cross.
The old folks in the bungalows across the road find it terrifying. There are bus stops on either side, which are used, not only by local families, but by lots of folk who come daily to bring flowers to the Gardens of Remembrance or to attend a funeral. Everyone has difficulty negotiating this dangerous and difficult road. Every time my girls cross to get to the bus stop, my heart is in my mouth and I can’t watch. To make it worse, the pavement ends on the bend, just after our home, so there is no alternative but to cross. Please visit
www.sheffield.moderngov.co.uk/mgepetitionlist display.aspx?bcr=1 Log in and go to ‘Request for pedestrian crossing Hutcliffe Wood Road.’We need lots of signatures for any action to be considered. Josee Shaw, Hutcliffe Wood Road, Beauchief
