Adult Learners
nominated for awards
Each
year Adult & Community Learning celebrate the success of
students during the May national NIACE celebrations. Brixham
ACL centre had learners, tutors, volunteers and groups nominated
by their peers. |

Those that did not
make it to the main celebration at South Devon College during
Adult Learners' Week were invited to a local celebration at
Brixham where the principal Mark Eager awarded the certificates
and congratulated individuals on their learning journey.

He said that he
had been an adult learner himself and this change of direction
had led him into teaching and ultimately to the headship.
Mark reminded all
present that it is never too late to learn and that parents
set good examples to their children by continuing to learn and
achieve new qualifications. |
He presented
certificates to:

the Topps Tiles award for achievement recently.

and enthusiasm to her dancing class. Her tutor, Zoe Bowden
