Northern Regional College was delighted to host its annual Student Awards last week to celebrate the outstanding success, dedication and resilience of its students across all campuses.
The awards ceremony held in Newtownabbey Campus provided a special opportunity for the College community and industry partners to honour inspirational individuals who consistently go above and beyond. This year’s event showcased the diversity and achievements of the student body, not only celebrating academic achievement but also remarkable personal growth, resilience and meaningful contributions to college life and the wider community.
Congratulating the award winners, Lynsey Sloan, Head of Health, Sport & Care at Northern Regional College said:
“The Newtownabbey Student Awards provided a lovely opportunity to recognise students who have worked incredibly hard and made such a positive contribution to college life. From academic achievement and personal progression to acts of kindness and leadership, the students celebrated should be very proud of all they have accomplished. I wish each of them every success as they continue their journey.”
