THERE were celebrations as more than 200 students graduated from Langside College and celebrated at a glittering ball in the city centre.

The weekend reward for years of study took place at Strathclyde University's Barony Hall.

Students exited the college with an HNC, HND or SVQ qualification in subjects including childcare, business and computing.

The Langside graduation was featured in Saturday's Evening Times, where we told the story of husband and wife Stuart and Melanie Quinn, who were graduating together with an SVQ Level 4 in children's care, learning and development.

Kim Turkington, marketing manager for Langside College, said: "The day of graduation means a lot to the students.

"They have worked hard to get their qualifications and there are a lot of different stories about what they have had to overcome to get them.

"The HNC is the culmination of each student's hard work over the year - and for the HND students it is two years' hard work.

"The SVQ students have undertaken a more vocational course and in many cases are working part- or full-time as well, so the qualification really shows they have put in a lot of dedication to get it."

Langside College has had a new multimillion-pound building added to it this year, meaning future students can enjoy science laboratories, engineering workshops, art studios and a beauty therapy centre. LANGSIDE COLLEGE GRADUATION 2009
