Some of the students received a certificate to commend them for their hard work, character and perseverance while studying at the college. Tutors Kat Baddeley, Colin Zealey, Steve Moonan and Becky Armitage were delighted to present the certificates to the students in an award ceremony.

Jenna Pickering, 21, from Elstead, a Level 4 Art Foundation student, created a stunning visual representation of emotion depicted by brightly coloured fantasy figures based on her friends, to bring them to life.
Jenna鈥檚 stunning art project 鈥楥onnecting to one another鈥�, has been created to help visually and quickly display how people are feeling at any given time. This communicative tool aims the user to wear the interchangeable images as laminated cards on a lanyard so that they are immediately visible.
Jenna, who won the 鈥楩oundation Student of the Year鈥� award, said: 鈥淚n September, I will be going to The University for the Creative Arts in Farnham to study Concept and Concept Art. Although I鈥檓 a bit nervous, I鈥檓 very excited to meet new people, take my creativity somewhere new and face new challenges.鈥�
