Presentation Evening 2011

Celebrations take centre stage

Presentation Evening 2011 - 1

Another year of continued success at Priestley was celebrated at the annual awards ceremony.

On a night of much happiness and festive cheer, former students celebrated both their own success and that of the College. It was also an ideal opportunity for those returning to be reunited with old friends and tutors.

The academic year saw the College's A-Level pass rates remain above 99% for the seventh successive year, whilst 73% of students obtained A*-C grades and there was a 100% pass rate in all BTEC National Diplomas.

On the night, Priestley was delighted to welcome Mr Martin Bell OBE to campus as the key speaker. His talk detailing a life time of experiences in the field of Journalism was an inspiration to many.

Presentation Evening 2011 - 2

A large number of individual prizes were handed out to highlight the broad range of courses on offer at Priestley and throughout the College's nine different curriculum areas.

To bring a musical accompaniment to proceedings the College's own Choral Ensemble "Breathe" also performed some festive music.

Speaking with regard to the night, College Principal, Mike Southworth, commented, "Presentation Evening is always such as special occasion as we unite as a community to celebrate the achievements of all staff and students."

Adding, "It was really pleasing that so many people made the extra special effort to attend and I place on record my thanks to everybody who contributed to an excellent evening, especially those local companies who sponsored many of the awards."
