Last week, Nimo Hersi, Level 2 RuTC Health and Social Care Student,received the Jack Petchey award to celebrate her progression at college.

Each term exceptional students are nominated by the classmates to win a Jack Petchey award. The winner receives a £300 grant, which can be used for anything that will benefit the class.

Nimo was nominated for being a helpful individual and for her caring nature in and outside the classroom.

Nimo's teachers describe her as “extremely hardworking and always tries hard in her assignments. This is reflected in the good grades she received”.

It has been noted how Nimo has progressed through the different levels at college with the hope that she will progress into Level 3 next year.

The Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme recognises the positive contributions, efforts and endeavours of young people aged 11-25 across London and Essex.
