Colourful New Mural for Student Common Room
In an ambitious and creative undertaking, Bellerbys A level student Vu Hoi Nam has painted a fantastic mural on the walls of the student common room at Bellerbys Cambridge. Vu Hoi Nam is planning a career in Architecture and will begin a BA in Architecture at the University of Brighton next year.
Head of Art at Bellerbys Cambridge, Fernando Feijoo, says, "He is an excellent student, who is very keen to try out lots of different ways of working and has made some excellent models and artist books which included pop-up sections."
The mural has been designed to represent college life at Bellerbys, and shows where the students have come from around the world and which universities they'll go on to.

Students Voluntary Work & Sponsored Walk for Oxfam
A number of students at Bellerbys Cambridge have been doing voluntary work with a major UK and international charity, Oxfam. This provides valuable work experience and also helps with that all important university personal statement, as students can mention it and show they are contributing to the community.
In addition to this involvement, a group of students and staff took part in the Oxfam Sponsored Walk in May, in Cambridgeshire. The walkers could choose between a leisurely three mile route within a local Country Park, or the more adventurous could opt for longer routes of 8, 16, 22 or 26 miles. All routes are clearly marked, and there is a free bus service to and from the start points.
All the money raised was donated to Oxfam to support the emergency work they do around the world. Once again Cambridge students are contributing to the well-being of others.

贝勒比斯学院剑桥分校2007年毕业日
剑桥分校毕业日之前的日子一直下雨，但到了毕业日那天却是阳光灿烂，学生们在皇后校区草坪上举行了正式的典礼。
校长John Rushton在John Carey、 Rima Page、Richard Loader、Andrew Davis和Denise Tarczynski的协助下，为在六月毕业的学生颁发了证书并为以下三位学生颁发了特别奖项：
- Ning Xiao 来自中国—年度学生奖
- Shang Ming Tan 来自中国—学院生活贡献奖，曼诺校区

典礼结束后，设施经理Barry Blakesley组织了餐饮员工为学生们准备了可口的点心。晚上，学生们还聚集在康河边的 The Garden House举办了毕业晚会。
以下是我们一位毕业的学生Sergey Rachkov的感言：
“5月25日是我生命中最重要的一天—我毕业了！毕业对大部分学生来说意味着可以升读大学继续学业了。但同时，这也意味着我们要离开贝勒比斯学院并说再见了。
毕业晚会是我们和贝勒比斯学院的老师和朋友们说再见的好机会。晚会十分成功，我们都很高兴。一切都很榜—地点、音乐、食物、人……”
感谢Peter Jenkins，学院的摄像师，他为这一天拍了很多照片。
