Carshalton College celebrated the success of their Beauty students on Thursday 7 July with an End Of Year Award Ceremony.

Entry 3, Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 students from the Diplomas in Beauty Therapy were congratulated on their achievements through the academic year and presented with certificates, Student of the Year awards and Outstanding Achievement Awards by Sarah Knight, Team Leader for the Beauty Courses, joined by the team of tutors and support staff along with Marion Martin Acting Director for the Curriculum.

Two special awards for Student of the Year were presented with an added prize supplied by Dermalogica, a bag of products, fob watch and a certificate. Amelia Naylor, Level 2 student of the year, was chosen for very good attendance and punctuality, working hard to be the first student to finish the work set and has secured a job in a local beauty salon.

Larysa Pavlyuk, Level 3 Student of the Year, was awarded for working extremely hard throughout the course, along with raising a family, and holding down a weekend job in a reputable salon. She passed all her exams first time, apart from one and was the first to pass all her practical assessments to complete her NVQ Level 3 ahead of schedule.

Two Outstanding Achievement Awards were presented to learners who have been with the College for 3 years and are fantastic success stories. Sarah Knight describes their journey “Asma Khan and Kasia Kowal are two very unique students who have completed all their levels of Beauty Therapy (Level 1,2 & 3) here at Carshalton College. They enrolled at the College as ESOL students and achieved the qualifications to progress onto a vocational course. They have persevered when times have been extremely tough, never complained and stayed committed and focused throughout their course. They have both supported other students in all levels with practical assessments and have been totally selfless. They have both been an absolute pleasure to teach.”

For new students enrolling in September they will be completing the new VRQ qualification in beauty therapy. All levels will be undertaking exciting new units and we are working in partnership with some local businesses to create further work experience opportunities.
