MEDIA Production students at Cirencester College hosted a special end of year show to thank friends and family for all their support. 

The students - who presented their final pieces of work on the big screen to their friends and families - organised the entirety of the event, which included creating online tickets and logos, setting up the tech, car park duties and providing refreshments for guests.

The event also posed an opportunity for the students to raise money for a charity of their choice, Cirencester Housing for Young People (CHYP).

Over 100 guests gathered in the college's T-level building to watch a mixture of student made documentaries, short films, and music videos.

Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard: The Media class of 2024 Each student addressed the audience with a short speech to introduce their projects.

Ella and Franklin took on the role of treasurers and managed ticket sales.

They said: "The proceeds of this event were donated to CHYP, a charity that supports local youths who don’t have stable homes and living conditions, meaning that they can have support and live a better life.

"This money came from ticket sales and on the night donations, meaning that we raised an incredible £223.25!

"Tickets sold out, bought by our families, friends, and former students.

" Representatives from CHYP also attended the event, which was wonderful as we could show them all of the hard work we had produced.

"They also kindly gave us donation pots to collect our money on the night.”

Principal Matt Reynolds said: “I was so impressed by the levels of creativity and innovation on show this year.

"Together with creating and producing the films, the learners did a fantastic job of organising and hosting the whole event. I was so proud of what they had achieved.

"The staff who taught the learners were also credited for how helpful and supportive they had been by their students, and that was really nice to see.”

Nigel Gooing, head of media said “The work the students produce is nothing short of professional standard across the board with submissions this year covering everything from short drama to music videos, and some outstanding documentaries.

"They should all be really proud of everything they’ve achieved.”
