Newcastle-under-Lyme College Student is shortlisted for Regional Award

Beth Wragg, a BTEC Sports student and Academy Volleyball player has been nominated for the Student Role Model of the Year Award that is presented by the Association of Colleges.

Keeping the 2012 Olympic and Paralympics’ 2012 games legacy alive, AoC West Midlands are delighted to partner with BBC West Midlands and the regional network of County Sports Partnerships for the 2013 West Midlands Community Sports Awards.

The inaugural ceremony will be celebrating and showcasing the highest calibre, commitment and dedication to grassroots community sport in the region.

As principal supporter of this event, AoC West Midlands will be raising the profile of FE sport through the Further Education Sport - Student Role Model of the Year Award.

This new accolade will be awarded to a student from the Region’s colleges who has not only exceeded their sporting goals but also used sports as a means for developing life and employability skills.  The award winner will be an inspirational role model, making significant impact in the college community.

On the night, the County Sports Partnerships in the West Midlands will be joining forces to highlight and celebrate sport achievements of individuals, dedicated volunteers, coaches, and group projects from around the region – presenting the Newcomer, Community Project, Community Coach and Community Club of the Year Awards. Tension will mount as winners of the Newcomer and three Community Award categories from each of the six county partnerships’ own award winners contest for the ultimate West Midlands Community Sports Award. In addition, the BBC Unsung Hero’s Award will be unveiled – with the winner subsequently representing the region at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards later that month.

 Everyone at Newcastle-under-Lyme College is very proud of Beth's achievements and we all want to wish her luck on the evening.

 

 

This prestigious event will be hosted by BBC Midlands Today presenters Nick Owen and Mary Rhodes who will be supported by a number of sport personalities. Martin Doel, Chief Executive of AoC will make a personal address and will look forward to making a formal presentation of the Wilkinson Sword – won by the West Midlands regional teams at this year’s British Colleges Sport national championships.

We very much hope that you can join us for this prestigious event celebrating sport achievement across the region.
