After a week of celebration the
Founders' Week programme came to a fitting close on Sunday 28
September amidst cannon races, a re-enactment of the opening of
Victoria College in 1852, and a ceremony in the Great Hall.
The first ever winner of The
Victoria Citizenship Award was revealed during the ceremony as
Henry Job, who was in Year 13 at the time of application and is now
at University studying to be a Primary School Teacher.
Henry showed a great sense of
responsibility towards others and a passion to help people. He also
took on a life-changing experience by travelling to Ghana where he
spent a month volunteering to help children less fortunate to gain
an education through the Maame Mary Foundation. Henry commented
about the award,
"This new award is fantastic
for students at college because it gives recognition to students
who possibly go unrecognized for their commitment to our community
outside of school. I feel that my time at Victoria College has
shaped me and so many other boys into good citizens through an
amazing educational environment, strong house spirit and an
incredible ethos. To be the first winner of this prize is a massive
honour."
The Victoria College Co-Curricular
Awards will have a winner for 3 different age categories each year:
Senior, Colt and Junior. Each winner is given a £150 voucher for
the IQ Apple Store and a Co-Curricular Tie. This year's winners
are:
- Senior - Jacques Brangeon, Year
12
- Colt - Pierre Sangan, Year 10
- Junior - Morgan Gregory, Year
9
The Victoria Citizenship Award
& The Victoria College Co-Curricular Awards have been created
in recognition of leadership, personal challenge, and work in the
community and are open to boys across the school.
Moore Stephens and Quilter Cheviot
Investment Management are generously providing a number of prizes
which culminate in the top award for the first Victoria Citizen of
a gold medal and cash prize of £500 - to be split between the
student and his chosen charity. There are also three main prizes
for the Junior, Colt and Senior categories for The Victoria College
Co-Curricular Awards, and an Honours Board will be on display in
the main building.
Clive Barton MBE, Senior Partner of
Moore Stephens and Chairman of the Board of Governors of Victoria
College,
"These awards are important
because they celebrate the personal endeavours of students outside
of the curriculum and in their spare time, which hasn't been
recognised before amidst everything else that we celebrate so well
at College."
Tim Childe, Head of Jersey Office,
Quilter Cheviot Investment Management,
"I have found the whole process
to be very rich and rewarding and I am proud to be involved.
Students have applied from across the school for both sets of
awards and although there can only be one winner for The
Citizenship Award there will be a number of awards presented for
Co-Curricular achievements.
