College Awards its Students of the Term

City College Plymouth has hosted an event to celebrate the successes achieved by its students over the spring term.

The Student(s) of the Term scheme was introduced in September 2008 to recognise and reward those students who are making a positive contribution to their course, the College or the local community. Each faculty has its own Student of the Term, and one of these is chosen by the Principal to be the ‘College Student of the Term,’ and one is chosen by the Students’ Union (SU) President to be the ‘SU Student of the Term.’

The Principal’s Student of Term was awarded to Jan Goljke, who is studying towards a First Diploma in Public Services.

Jan’s Tutor, Bob Chilvers said: “Jan was awarded for his commitment to his work, not only academic but also physical activities. During a residential trip with the Royal Navy, Jan was presented with a ‘one off’ award by the Royal Marines for his total commitment and team work over two days of physical challenges.

“Jan, by his own admission, is not the most athletic which makes this award more important. The Officer in charge stated that Jan was an excellent ambassador for the College.”

The event was attended by all 16 spring ‘Student of the Term’ winners, plus their guests and nominating tutors, as well as heads of faculties. They were presented with a certificate and a high street voucher from Principal, Viv Gillespie and received congratulations from Students’ Union President, Sergiu Filuta.
