Two Newbury College IT students have recently finished updating a patient information point (PIP) database at West Berks Hospital in Thatcham. Students, Kamil Pilecki and Przemyslaw Budzynski, started working on the project during their five-day work placement, but were determined to see the project through to completion.
Peter Broughton, volunteer at West Berkshire Hospital, said: We asked Kamil and Przem to help replace the PIP survey as part of their work placement. They rose to the challenge and went above and beyond what was expected of them, carrying on with the project long after they had to. The new survey has been loaded onto our computers and is undergoing trials before its operational. We'd like to thank them for their hard work and we wish them all the best for the future.
Both students are moving on to Southampton University in September to continue their IT studies.
Congratulations to six students on our Level 1 Animal Care course who excelled during their work placement week, achieving 100% attendance. To celebrate their success, students ' Alicia Maggs, Christopher Mobbs, Lewis Baily, Holly Hibberd, Mark Williams and Shane Parkin ' were presented with certificates from the principal, Dr Anne Murdoch.
Animal care tutor, Ria Poliquin, said: It was wonderful to celebrate the achievement of our students who worked very hard during their work placement week and gained valuable experience in the industry.
Newbury College was proud to host Theale C. of E. Primary School's Summer Showcase Extravaganza at its open air amphitheatre on the evening of Tuesday 21st June. Pupils, aged seven to eleven, performed a range of delightful acts to an audience of family and friends.
Performances included the school's gifted and talented steel pan, drama and dance groups, singing from two of the school's choirs, music from the string and clarinet ensembles and brass quartet, acrobatics from the gymnastic squad and more.
Newbury College and Theale Primary School are working closely together as joint sponsors of a new primary school due to open in September 2017. The new school is being built to help meet the high demand for primary school places in Newbury.
Newbury College Principal, Dr Anne Murdoch OBE, said: It was an absolute pleasure hosting Theale Primary School's evening showcase event again this year, we are so pleased they were able to make use of our wonderful outside space. When the new school opens next year, we look forward to hosting many more events.
Deputy Head Teacher, Tristan Whiteman, said: It was with great pride that we saw our pupils performing so confidently on the stage. They have such a vast array of talents and gifts that they have had the chance to develop, extend and refine through our broad curriculum. We were equally delighted to see so many parents and family supporting their children and the school. We continue to look forward to working further with Newbury College in a productive continued partnership together.
Results of the student EU referendum poll carried out at Newbury College are similar to the final vote declared in West Berkshire. 52% of students, many of whom are not yet of voting age, backed the remain' campaign.
The sports hall at Newbury College was the location for West Berkshire's counting office, where the result was declared at around 4:20am in the morning.
