Joyous A-level students at South Downs and Havant College had their “excellent” results praised by MP Alan Mak, following the publication of results from around the country.
The Havant MP visited both Havant College and South Downs on Thursday 18 August to personally applaud the sixth-form and college students, many of whom will now go onto study at universities, and was on hand to meet many of the happy students during the results day.
The results from the constituency show strong performance across the board, with the number of A*-B grades especially strong.
Mr Mak said: “I want to congratulate all the students who yet again achieved amazing A-level results. Their hard work is inspiring and I was delighted to hear that so many of them will be going onto study at university. I have been lucky enough to meet some of these students today and over the last year. I am sure many of them will go onto do excellent things.”
The colleges are in the process of merging, with Mike Gaston now leading a single management team before they officially combine next year.
It comes as Havant College announced plans to revolutionise teaching with the introduction of Google Classroom for the next academic year. The interactive scheme will enable students to share and learn in the cloud.
Mr Mak added: “South Downs College and Havant College have a track record in innovation and next year will be the start of an exciting journey for new students with the launch of Google Classroom. The merger will also allow the colleges to make savings on administration all while protecting frontline teaching. Both colleges look set to have a bright future.”
