Carshalton College celebrates South London Colleges’ 2012 Best Learner Awards

Carshalton College Child Care student, Nastexo-Ali,

was awarded the prestigious Best Learner Award at the House of Lords, on 17 May

2012.

The South London Colleges' Best Learner Awards

ceremony celebrated the achievements of learners across South London and was

hosted by Lord Tope. The awards are organised by the Committee of South London

Principals (COSLP) who represent colleges in Croydon, Kingston, Bromley,

Richmond,

Sutton and Merton and work together to share good practice and to

improve post 16 and adult learning. 

Nastexo Ali is a current student at Carshalton College about to complete her

Level 1 CACHE Diploma in Caring for Children (Foundation Learning). In

September, Nastexo hopes to begin the Level 2 qualification progressing towards

her ambition of becoming a teacher.

Nastexo is a very mature young lady who has established herself as

a valued member of the class. Nastexo's attendance and punctuality at college

has been excellent showing her motivation and passion, she organised and

produces all assignments on time and to a high standard and described as a joy

to teach.

Nastexo in her past has had to deal with some very difficult and

emotional issues but has shown nothing but enthusiasm for the course and

college life which has been her security throughout these times. She is an

amazing young person and her smile always brightens the room, always positive

and upbeat with such a caring and understanding side.

Nastexo was voted as Class Rep and is a member of the Student Union.

She is always giving up her own time by taking part in charity events,

attending meetings, supporting others and is currently undertaking her Level 2

mentoring qualification. Student Support staff describe her as reliable, keen

to get involved, polite and cheerful, a wonderful role model for fellow

students.

"Nastexo

has been a real joy to teach over the past two years, she should be extremely

proud of what she has achieved so far and is going to be a real asset to the

childcare profession" Jo Stocker, Tutor
