Celebrating Our Learners at Thurrock Adult Community College

At the end of each academic year we delight in hosting our Learner Awards Ceremony. The evening is dedicated to recognising the incredible achievements of our adult learners.

The most recent event took place at Thameside Theatre and was kindly sponsored by Thurrock Lifestyle Solutions (TLS) with support from our Chair of Governors, Neil Woodbridge.

Our annual Learner Awards Ceremony is always a joyful occasion, bringing together students, families, staff, and friends of the college to celebrate success, perseverance, and personal growth.

We were honoured to welcome the Mayor of Thurrock, who kindly joined us for the evening and presented the awards for each of the five categories.

Thurrock Musical Theatre Choir also joined us and performed an amazing selection of songs and dance routines during the evening to keep us all entertained.

Awards were presented in five categories: Resilience, Peer Support, Positive Attitude, Inspirational Journey, and the Principal’s Award. Each award celebrated learners who have overcome challenges, supported others, embraced new opportunities, and shown true commitment to their studies.

Hearing the stories behind the awards was truly inspiring – from learners who have returned to education after many years, to those who have gone the extra mile to encourage classmates or push through personal barriers. Each journey is unique, and we are so proud of what our learners have achieved.

The evening reminded us all of the power of lifelong learning and the strong sense of community that makes Thurrock Adult Community College such a special place.

Congratulations once again to all our winners and to every learner who continues to inspire us every day.
