Celebration for
graduating students The latest group of students from Burton and South Derbyshire College (BSDC) have celebrated their graduation at The Hilton, St George’s Park. Among them was contemporary creative
practice student Holly Fyson, who was presented with the overall ‘Learner of the Year Award’ for her achievements throughout her studies. During her course, Holly took part in a
project to transform the college’s sensory room, creating an interactive learning space for foundation learning students. She also designed an innovative college
nursery teaching space, to help childcare students to develop their practical skills. The ceremony also saw the college
present Marvin Cooke, managing director of Toyota Manufacturing UK and Noreen Oliver, founder of the Burton Addiction Centre, with honorary fellowships. BSDC chief executive and principal Dawn
Ward said: “The graduation ceremony is a highlight of the college calendar. It has never been more important for people to ensure they have the high level skills necessary for success in the world of work. “Continuing education with a higher
education course at college is a fantastic way to advance career prospects and we wish our students all the best in their future careers.”
