Secretarial students at Seevic College have been celebrating their hard work this week.

Recruitment agency Kelly Services visited the Sixth Form College in Runnymede Chase, Benfleet, to present the company's Student of the Year Award to those studying the Private Secretary's Diploma.

Tutor Debbie Wood said: "Kelly Services has presented this award to second-year administration and secretarial students at the college for many years.

"We are very grateful for their continued support.

"The award recognises the hard work, commitment and achievement of our administration students."

This year the main award went to Stacey Downes, 17, of Hullbridge.

Runners-up were Natalie Hughes, 19, of Woodlow, Thundersley, and Sarah Martin, 19, of Highlands Road, Basildon, who also won the second-year Shorthand Student of the Year Award.
