Brecon Beacons College ESOL Summer Presentation Afternoon

Brecon Beacons College Adult Community ESOL Learners, along with tutor Jacqui Griffiths extended a warm welcome to Ann Mathias, Brecon’s Mayor recently at a presentation awards afternoon. 

Enjoying the last class of the academic year, students were presented by the Mayor with their most recent Agored Cymru certificates. 

Alix Miller who manages the centre demonstrated her usual support helping to make the afternoon positive for all involved.  Also celebrating student success was Jackie Poley, who has volunteered to support classes over a number of months.

Following the presentation, two students met with the Mayor and congratulated in recognition of the Powys Learner Awards achieved this year.  Both collected Awards at a Powys Wide Adult Learner Award ceremony, hosted at the NPTC Groups “Themes” restaurant in Newtown College in June.  

Following nominations as Powys Learners of the Year both won the Award in their nominated categories. Durga Bahadur Thapa winner of the Community Learner Award 2019 and Sher Bahadur Ijam winner of the ESOL Learner Award 2019.
