Dearne Valley College

Our Construction department has been investing their time, energy, and muscle power to help fund the vital work of Rotherham Hospice! 🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂

Over a couple of days in May, staff and students came together to smash massive, multiple 100-mile bike and run challenge. A special shout-out goes to one of our incredible Bricklaying technicians, who completed his very own solo 100-mile bike ride in under 5 hours! 🤯💨

The final numbers are officially in... and the team have raised an amazing £366! Every penny will go directly toward supporting the hospice and the invaluable care they provide to our community.

Massive congratulations and thank you to everyone who took part or donated! 👏❤️

Yesterday's Special Recognition Awards and Celebration was a wonderful celebration! 🏆

Congratulations to all our award winners and nominees. Your hard work, dedication, and achievements throughout the year have been truly inspiring. 👏

Wishing you all continued success as you progress on your exciting journeys. Well done to everyone involved in making the event such a memorable celebration! ✨

Our Land-based students were out in the community, gaining valuable work experience down at Manvers! 🚜🌿

The team worked incredibly hard, helping to maintain the area, keeping the paths clear, trimming the hedges, and ensuring the surrounding spaces look beautiful and tidy for the public to enjoy.

Brilliant practical experience and a fantastic way to give back to our local community. Well done, team!
