2023 VESPA Award Winners Honoured
Over 200 students filled the chapel before half term to celebrate the College’s highest achievers in the 2023 VESPA Awards. VESPA stands for Vision, Effort, Systems, Practice and Attitude, and the awards are presented to the most dedicated, hard-working and resilient students at St Francis Xavier Catholic Sixth Form College.

The ceremony began with a special leavers service from College Chaplain Deacon Tony, reflecting on the students’ many gifts and talents that have been enhanced during their time at St Francis Xavier Catholic Sixth Form College.

College Principal Graham Thompson led the presentation ceremony, supported by the respective Heads of Departments who had nominated the winning students. Students from all subject areas were honoured, along with two Principal’s Award winners and special awards for resilience and courage.

In keeping with tradition, the winners headed off to the canteen after the event for a celebratory pizza lunch!
