RNN Group Takes Home the Gold in Intercollege Competition
On the 13th of March, students from Rotherham College, North Notts College and Dearne Valley College (as part of the RNN Group) put their skills to the test in the exciting Intercollege Competitions.
Learners from Grimsby Institute, Doncaster College and North Lindsey College travelled to Rotherham College and Dearne Valley College to participate in a showcase of specialist skills in a wide range of subjects including hair and beauty, catering, construction, and performing arts.
The atmosphere was electric, filled with friendly competition and a shared passion for learning!
The event brought together some of the region’s most promising young professionals, each vying for top spots in their respective categories. From precision cuts in hairdressing to creative digital design challenges, participants impressed judges with their dedication, creativity, and technical ability.
The RNN Group scored a whopping 53 points, beating the record from previous years and bringing home the gold for 2025!
Many students shared their excitement about the competition, saying:
“Competing against students from other colleges was an incredible experience. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me see how far I’ve come in my skills.”
RNN Group tutors were equally proud of the students’ performances, highlighting their commitment to excellence and the confidence they displayed throughout the event.
As the day drew to a close, the Civic Theatre, transformed with balloons, illuminated letters, banners, and the rich backdrop of red curtains, set the stage for the evening’s award ceremony. The room was filled with anticipation as students, teachers, and staff gathered to celebrate the achievements of all participants.
Medals and certificates were awarded to the top performers in each category, recognising their hard work and talent. However, the true highlight was the shared joy and applause at the end that resonated throughout the room, acknowledging the participation and effort of every single student from all the colleges that took part.
We’re already looking forward to the next intercollege competition.
A huge congratulations to all the participants for their achievements!
