Southwark College hosted its annual 16-18 Student Awards on 24 June 2024, to celebrate their exceptional efforts during their studies.
Taking place in the College’s atrium, the event welcomed invited guests made up of families, faculty staff and employer partners, to celebrate this important milestone in the academic year.
Jane Button, Principal at Southwark college, opened the ceremony praising the students’ hard work throughout the academic year and emphasised the College’s ongoing support. Jane said: “As you embark on the next chapter of your lives, remember that Southwark College will always be a place you can call home. We are immensely proud of your achievements and excited to see what the future holds for each one of you.”
