The great and the good among Harrow College’s student body were rewarded for their staggering academic and personal achievements at this year’s Student Awards.
Current students, teaching staff and family members gathered together in celebration at the Kadwa Patidar Centre in Harrow, on 25 June.
Keynote speeches came from two former Harrow College students; canoe slalom Olympic champion Richard Hounslow and paratriathlete Faye McClelland.
Former The Apprentice winner and founder of the Raw Talent Academy Lee McQueen was also in attendance. McQueen handed out two internships and two awards to current students at the ceremony.
Hounslow said he hoped he could help inspire current students at the college. "It was a real honour to be invited by Harrow College to attend their awards ceremony. As an ex-student, I was really impressed with the fantastic achievements of the current students. I hope my little speech will help them to challenge themselves and strive for more success in both education and life."
During the event audience members were treated to traditional Indian dohl drumming, as well as singing from student Megan Hennessy-Wilson and Charlotte Perchard, performing arts lecturer at Harrow College. Students Cassandra Walcott and Priyanka Modhacalled also performed an interpretive, comic dance to Indian and hip-hop music.
BTEC Year 2 Level 3 media students were also given the opportunity to showcase their work – a video on burglary prevention, which went on to win Film of the Year at the awards ceremony.
Tony Medhurst, principal at Harrow College said he felt extremely proud of the exceptional students being recognised for their efforts.
“Once again, Harrow College’s Student Awards Ceremony has shown everybody the wealth and depth of the amazing student talent we have at the College. I would like to extend my gratitude to all the students, members of staff, partner organisations and guest speakers who made the event such a memorable one. “
