X Factor finalist Stacey Solomon did and she chose Havering College of Further and Higher Education to help her fulfil it. The singing sensation has credited the college with giving her the confidence to follow her quest for fame. The 20-year-old studied for a National Diploma in Performing Arts (Musical Theatre) at the college’s impressive £6million Centre for Creative Arts on the Ardleigh Green Campus complex in Hornchurch, Essex. The two year course is equivalent to three A-levels and can open the gateway to university study. Stacey was enjoying every minute of her course…until she was whisked away to stardom after wowing Simon Cowell and fellow judges at the X Factor auditions. The talented performer is on the brink of achieving celebrity status, but after jetting home from the X Factor national tour, she recently found time to return to college to officially launch our new vocational centre in Brentwood. She said: “I loved being at Havering College. I think it was one of the best experiences of my life. My teachers always made me feel more confident. Being with teachers who really help you and make you feel you are really good makes all the difference. “It is a place where you can be yourself because everyone is so normal and down to earth. I have made some brilliant friends. “If someone came to me and said they wanted to study Performing Arts, I would definitely recommend Havering College.” Strawberry Fields Forever Gets A Standing Ovation BEATLEMANIA has swept through Havering College and taken the London Palladium by storm. Strawberry Fields Forever – a new Beatles musical written by Havering College advanced practitioner Peter Dayson – received a standing ovation when it was performed for one night only in the West End. The show featuring more than 20 Beatles songs was written and performed under an educational licence. It has been highly acclaimed and has attracted great interest from the industry. The lead character – Liverpudlian family matriarch Lily – was played by Emma Tansley. Emma, 20, from Hornchurch, is a member of Youth Music Theatre UK and aspires to be an actress. Studying at the college on a Legal Secretarial course is her back-up plan. Emma said: “I was really excited to get this part and worked hard on getting the Liverpudlian accent right.” Andreas Poulloura, 20, from Rainham, played Bobby – a wannabe musician whose demo tape gets sent to Beatles producer Brian Epstein. Andreas, who is in the first year of his BTEC National Diploma Performing Arts (Musical Theatre) course, said: “It is a fantastic musical and I love the Beatles songs. I have only ever been in a school show so it was really exciting to go on stage at the London Palladium.” Strawberry Fields Forever is the college’s fourth International CrossOver Project – a unique educational concept which involves staff and students from Havering College “crossing over” for transatlantic productions in a London West End theatre and in America. This year Havering College students and staff performed at the famous Stuart’s Opera House in Nelsonville, Ohio.

Stacey joined guests, including industry representatives, for a celebratory evening at the new centre. Students have catwalk vision FASHION students at Havering College stepped onto the catwalk to present their innovative designs at East London’s Alternative Fashion Week. Six students in the second year of their BA Fashion degree course were among 70 up and coming designers at the event which acts as a platform for the discovery of new talent. The media, public and those in the fashion industry from all over the world flock to Spitalfields Traders Market in April when it showcases the most original and creative collections from a fresh crop of new designers. Hundreds of applications to exhibit at the show are received each year and 2010 marked a debut appearance by Havering College students. Student Rebekah Bogle, 21, from Ilford, said: “Alternative Fashion Week is a really important event as it is attended by designers and buyers from all over the world. It was very exciting to be showing some of our designs there.” Student Laxmi Rajput, 32, is from India and commutes from the Heathrow area to study fashion at Havering College. She said: “I greatly enjoy my course and the tutors are very helpful. To be part of Alternative Fashion Week was a fantastic experience.” The BA Fashion degree course is one of around 30 degree level courses offered by Havering College. NEW £2M CONSTRUCTION CENTRE BUILDS CAREERS A NEW Havering College campus to train students for specialist careers in the construction industry is meeting a crucial skills gap. Thames Gateway Minister Shahid Malik officially opened the £2million Rainham Campus Construction Centre last November. The facility will train 7,500 students in construction skills and engineering trades between now and the Olympic Games. With the London Thames Gateway area earmarked for massive redevelopment in the coming years the college will be meeting the needs of local employers, by training the workforce for now and in the future. 18 Havering College of Further & Higher Education Apprenticeships Apprenticeships provide the best of both worlds and are offered as follows: — Apprenticeships at level 2 — Advanced Apprenticeships at level 3 — Adult Apprenticeships for those aged 24+ The key to a successful Apprenticeship is an appropriate, supportive and safe working environment, a strong commitment to achieve, matched with support from experienced college staff throughout the programme. Havering College has established strong links with employers and can provide some assistance in finding suitable employees or employment, although this cannot be guaranteed. Course Apprenticeships have three main elements within a specific industry framework: — NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) – the work based element of your programme, where you will learn new skills in a working environment. You will be required to complete a portfolio of evidence, which will be reviewed by an occupationally competent assessor and your progress will be reviewed on a regular basis. — Technical Certificate – a recognised qualification that provides you with the underpinning knowledge for the NVQ. This is generally delivered at college on a day release basis. — Key Skills – in Communication, Application of Number and IT are needed to work effectively in a modern working environment. You will develop these skills by working as part of a team and successfully carrying out every-day tasks. This element of the programme is assessed via a portfolio of evidence and end test. If you are not in employment, Programme-Led Pathways allow you the opportunity to complete the Technical Certificate element of a framework at college, as described above, either on a full-time or part-time basis. This will count towards the relevant framework should you progress to an Apprenticeship. Apprenticeships range from Administration to Engineering, Motor Vehicle Panel Beating and Spraying to Accounting. If you are interested in an Apprenticeship, check out the Apprenticeships column throughout the courses listed.
