 Former

Around
260 people, including other prize-winners, their families, college

Winter Gardens.
Principal
Dr Paul Phillips said: "Jade achieved distinctions for all
three modules of the ILEX certificate. She also achieved 100%
in her ICT skills exam."
"She
has now progressed to the Level 3 Professional ILEX Diploma and
hopes to continue her ILEX training to the next level so that
she can become a Paralegal in a firm of local solicitors."
Olympic

and also helped present the prizes during the evening. Nearly
five million TV viewers in the UK watched Peter win the first
medal for Britain at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. He is set
to defend his gold medal at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne
during March.
