STUDENTS at Bury College took part in a competition to raise awareness of equality and diversity throughout the centre.

Spot the Celebrity Face challenged them to name more than 100 celebrities and create their own equality statement, using no more than 15 words. The college's nursing cadets designed a celebrity faces poster, which was used in the competition to celebrate equality and diversity.

Fiona Pert, equality and diversity officer for the college said: "The standard of entries was extremely high and we received many inspiring and creative equality statements."

Entries were judged earlier this month and first prize was awarded to IT student, Donna Waterworth, whose winning statement read: "Everyone is equal and has the same opportunities, or should have, no matter who they are."

Second and third prizes were awarded to A Level students Lauran French and Rebecca Thomasson.

Dr. Helen Gilchrist, College Principal, presented the winners with prize money and certificates at the Woodbury Centre Library.

The winning statement will be used throughout the college.
