In the spring term, Level 3 Health & Social Care student Tanisha Mendiratta, won a Jack Petchey award for her outstanding contributions to the course.
The Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme recognises the positive contributions, efforts, and endeavours of young people aged 11-25 across London and Essex. These achievements include being a great role model, volunteering, overcoming personal challenges, and supporting others over and above expectations.
Each term exceptional students are nominated by their classmates and teachers to win a Jack Petchey award. The winner receives a £300 grant, which can be used for anything that will benefit the class outside of necessary materials, which are provided by the college.
Tanisha is a worthy winner of the award and is described by her peers and tutors as:
“An excellent student, who routinely demonstrates kindness, helpfulness, and strong leadership skills. She is always willing to assist her classmates and create a positive learning environment. As a natural leader, she motivates others and takes responsibility in group activities.”
Tanisha also shows great dedication to her studies, consistently completing her work on time and to a high standard. Her positive attitude and strong work ethic make her a standout choice for the commendation.
The class are incredibly pleased and proud of this achievement and will enjoy deciding how to spend the prize money to help further their learning and overall college experience.
