ANIMAL Welfare students from Solihull College and University Centre have secured first place in every category at the inaugural West Midlands Colleges Inter-College Competition.
The event took place at South Staffordshire College’s Rodbaston College campus and welcomed colleges from across the region including Dudley, Halesowen, South Staffs and BMet.
Level 1 students set up a rodent enclosure, Level 2 students deep cleaned and set up a rabbit enclosure, and Level 3 students designed and created an enrichment activity for primates.
Student Amelia said: “It was lovely meeting people from different teams and colleges”, and Rylie added: “Communicating with different people and all working together was great.”
The new inter-college competition initiative is designed to help give students more confidence, raise aspirations, standards and employability.
Each college will take a turn in hosting the event.
Programme manager, James Clarke, said: “Our students went to Rodbaston College and showed determination, confidence and excellent knowledge throughout the different competitions.
“Through their hard work and support for one another, we achieved the unthinkable and won every single competition set against other colleges in the region. Well done to everyone involved, we are all very proud.”
