International flavour to certificate presentation -
20/12/06
Ten countries, including Wales, were represented at an awards
ceremony hosted by the Vale Basic Skills Service at the Open
Learning Centre in Holton Road, Barry.
Students past and present gathered with guests to celebrate, and
among those receiving certificates were individuals who had gained
qualifications in English, maths and computing.
As well as students from the OLC and outreach classes in Penarth
and Llantwit Major, there were representatives from groups who had
participated in Family Learning Courses in local primary schools
and, lending a truly international flavour, many individuals who
had attended classes in English as an Additional Language
Cllr Tony Hampton, who presented certificates, extended his
congratulations to all learners, including those unable to make the
awards evening which ended with light refreshments.
