HUNDREDS of students and staff received prizes at Darlington College of Technology's annual awards ceremony last night.
The awards recognised achievements in further and higher education, training, work-based learning and school link programmes.
Annual achievement awards were also made to staff who had been nominated by colleagues for their outstanding contribution to the work of the college.
The awards ceremony, which was held at Darlington Civic Theatre, was hosted by the college's director of external relations, Sue Campbell, and former Radio Cleveland presenter Alan Wright.
Peter Barron, editor of The Northern Echo, presented the further education awards; Professor Derek Fraser, of the University of Teesside, presented the higher education awards; and Alasdair MacConachie, chairman of the College Corporation Board, presented the staff awards.
Entertainment was provided by student band Foola, made up of Jack Watson, Elliot Smith, Tom Heaney, Michael Archer and Lindsay Hall.
All five are members of the college's performing arts department
