Students Recognised at Rotary Club Awards

OSFC was incredibly proud as the dedication and desire to 'give something back' of 3 of its Year 13 students was recognised at the Rotary Club of Oldham's Student of the Year awards ceremony. All 3, Jennah Amin, Aysha Iqbal, and Joshua Tindall, are exceptional students who combine academic excellence with a willingness to participate fully in the wider lives of the college and the wider local community. Both Jennah and Aysha have secured places to study Medicine at university (Oxford and Liverpool, respectively) and have been involved in a wider variety of volunteering, at such places as the Royal Oldham Hospital and Dr Kershaw's Hospice, underlining their undeniable suitability for their chosen career paths. At the ceremony, Aysha received the Runners Up prize in the 16-18 Student of the Year category. In contrast, Joshua has a deep enthusiasm for Maths, Physics and Electronics, and has a place to study Engineering at Cambridge. In his spare time, Josh is a director of DonateIT, a project to collect and 'refurbish' computers, so they can be passed onto young people and families without computer access. The Rotary Club awarded him a special prize in recognition for this unique venture. Jennah, Aysha and Josh are remarkable students and we are greatly looking forward to following their future progress!
