Foundation Success Rewarded in a Prize-Giving Ceremony

On June 4th, just ahead of their final exams, students studying on Foundation programmes that started in September 2007 were rewarded in the annual Prize-Giving Ceremony.  For each subject, the Foundation teachers decided on one student who had really excelled in their class.  Sometimes it was a student who got the highest mark, sometimes it was a student who had a natural talent for the subject, and sometimes it was a student who had worked the hardest, or been the most pleasant student to teach.

At the ceremony, the teacher who chose each student to win a subject prize gave a little speech about the student, before giving the student his or her award – a certificate and book token.  The subject prize winners were:

Accounts - U Kam Pio from Macau
Art - Mariya Kolesnychenko from Ukraine
Biology - Ufuoma Ederewhevbe from Nigeria
Business Mathematics - Zhuang Zhijie from China
Business Studies - Maria Sokolova from Russia
Chemistry - Nurlan Asylbekovitch Mansurov from Kazakhstan
Economics - Lee Ka Yan from Hong Kong
English (overall) - Mihaela Zop from Romania
English (most improved) - Kim Hyeong Gyu from Korea
Information Technology - Ji Guseon from Korea
Mechanics - Gulperi Yurt from Turkey
Media Studies - Alexandra Chervotkina from Russia
Physics - Muumin Amur Al-Hajri from Oman
Psychology - Cheryl Fernandez from Malaysia
Pure Mathematics - A Ram Jeon from Korea

As well as subject prizes, special awards were given to three students who had done exceptionally well all round.  These students also received a certificate and book token as well as a special commemorative cup, and were as follows:

Most Improved Student - Jang Kyoung Jin (Aster) from Korea, pictured right
Most Conscientious Student - Kuan Ka Wai (Dorothy) from Macau
Principal’s Prize for Best Student - Tang Siu Wai (Alan) from Hong Kong

All these students were studying Foundation Business.  The ceremony began with a few words from the school Principal Andy Quin, and after the prizes were given out, Academic Director Paul Langman made a short speech, wishing students luck for the future, and reminding them to come back and tell us how they’re getting on!  After this, students and teachers made their way to the courtyard outside the school for heartfelt goodbyes and photographs.
