Beauty Apprentice Wins National Award
Lewisham College Beauty apprentice Doanh La kicked off the
College's Apprenticeship Week celebrations in style as she took
home the trophy for Xcel Fashion, Hair and Beauty Student of the
Year at Xcel Magazine's annual student awards ceremony.
The Student of the Year Awards recognised the achievements of
learners nationwide at a prestigious gala dinner held in central
London. Beauty apprentice Doanh, who works at Naveeda Salon in
Ilford, was the only student from a further education college to be
given an award among students from universities from across
Britain.
Luke Turnell, Director of SR Media and Publisher of Xcel called
the winners a "truly remarkable group of people".
Doanh received her trophy from sponsors LCBT and TV presenter
Konnie Huq. She thanked her tutors and the College for helping her
to win her award, adding: "I was very surprised to win this award.
It's a shame I couldn't enjoy the food though - I've just had
braces fitted!"
Principal of Lewisham College Maxine Room, who was on hand to
see Doanh collect her award, said: "The whole College is delighted
that Doanh's received this award - she's an outstanding student who
deserves to be recognised and celebrated. It's Lewisham College's
mission to create successful futures, and I think that Doanh's
future looks very bright indeed."
