KGV celebrates student’s success at awards evening

King George V College have recently hosted their annual Awards Evening to celebrate the success and achievements of their second year students.

Students, friends and family members attended the ceremony which was held in King George V College’s Creative Arts Theatre.

Anne-Marie Francis, Acting Principal at KGV College, said, ‘The evening was a celebration of student success over the year and focused on outstanding achievement and excellence.’

To kick start the Awards Evening, advanced level students Keir Nicholas-Haizelden and Laura Burgess spoke on their experiences as well as their achievements whilst studying at the College. During the speeches they thanked subject teachers for their support throughout the year, as well as fellow students who attended on the night.

Keir, a former Birkdale High School student, said, ‘KGV has been an experience that I would not trade for anything. This is a great college, with great teachers and, of course, great students.

‘The people at this college are its core; the vital thing that makes KGV what it is. Even when I have faltered, the teachers here have done nothing but support me.

‘I’ve had the opportunity to study Biology, Chemistry and Geology and I plan to study Microbiology at the University of Liverpool next year. I hope to obtain a doctorate in Virology in the future, a field that has interested me for a very long time.
