Student of the Year SERC Awards for Beauty Students
Two students from South Eastern Regional College (SERC) have been presented with Student of the Year awards from Dermalogica.
The students, Natalie Ritchie (18), from Kircubbin, and Sophie Hill (28), from Holywood, are both completing the NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Beauty Therapy under the tutelage of Lynn Hamil-Fitzpatrick.
No strangers to success, both Natalie and Sophie, took joint second on the podium in SERC’s annual inter-campus Beauty Therapy competition earlier this year.

Lynn said: “SERC has an educational partnership with Dermalogica. Our students initially complete a Dermalogica Aspire Programme Workshop Award at the beginning of their training – designed to elevate their skills and to improve their confidence as they prepare for industry.
“Each academic year up to two students are presented with the Student of the Year Award which gives them access to a three-tier programme worth thousands of pounds. xa0The prize also includes a complimentary skin kit of Dermalogica products.”
Lynn added: “Both Natalie and Sophie were nominated by their lecturers for this Award which recognises their hard work and performance throughout the year, their passion and dedication to skincare and the beauty industry, and their commitment to education.xa0xa0
“We are delighted for their success.”
