Celebrate! - Awards Ceremony 2nd May 2013


Working in partnership with the Outreach team at the Sheffield Hallam University we held our 5th secondary awards ceremony in the Pennine Lecture Theatre last week. Over 200 young people from 7 secondary schools across the city were  invited to receive a Gold award for choosing to take part in over 100 hours of out of school activity, along with some students who have been taking part in activities away from school and have gained credits using their Passport to Learning. The highest award winner will receive an award for attending over 800 hours of activities.

Sheffield CU also works in partnership with Languages Sheffield to ensure students who give up their time to learn their home language are celebrated and rewarded through the HoLA (Home Language Accreditation) project. Award winners from the some of the community language schools also attended the ceremony to receive their Gold award for giving up their time to learn their home language.

HUGE congratulations are due to schools staff, parents/carers and award winners for the dedication to learning in their own time!
