We're incredibly proud of the 11 super talented Hair, Beauty and Make-Up students from Newcastle College who secured their place at the Association of Hairdressers and Therapists (AHT) national finals with a standout performance at the Regional finals earlier this week. More than 550 students from 19 colleges competed in the Regional Competition held at the Fed in Gateshead. Newcastle College students beat off fierce competition to come first in four categories, with an outstanding 12 podium finishes in total. All 11 students received a goody bag from Wella and will now progress to the national finals in Blackpool in May. Lola Richardson (pictured, below), currently studying Level 3 Make-Up and Media Makeup, secured first place in Feminine Bridal Make-Up and second place in Theatrical Aging Make-Up. She said: “I came sixth in last year’s regional competition and I’ve tried really hard to better myself in time for this year’s competition, so I feel really proud of myself. I was so happy when my name was called out and I’m so excited to go to Blackpool.” Read more, including a list of all 11 winners: https://lnkd.in/eeT-8vei

Recently, our Year 12 Psychology students had the opportunity to visit Teesside University. Throughout their visit, they engaged in various tasks and discussions that were focused on Psychology and Criminology. These interactive activities and insightful discussions, led by university professors, significantly enhanced their understanding of these fascinating fields. In addition to the academic activities, the students enjoyed a tour of the Teesside University Campus. They explored the vibrant campus life and saw first-hand the resources available to university students. We would like to thank Teesside University for hosting us as the overall experience was valuable and inspiring for our Year 12 students as it connected classroom learning with real-world applications. #GoFurther #NSFC #newcastlesixthformcollege
