With a staggering 17 out of 21 distinctions over the three years of her National Certificate in Office Administration studies, Maurida Landers (24) from West Coast TVET College Malmesbury Campus, was the CEO’s Top NC(V) Student Award 2017 winner.
Maurida, who hails from the West Coast town of Saron, has shown that regardless of your circumstances, if you work hard, you can rise above them. She beat 325 candidates in the final year to receive the award.
The award comes with prizes which included a laptop, laptop bag, prize money deposit in an ABSA Gold account and a trophy, sponsored by Cape Book and College Supplies, ABSA Bank and SAYDBUC Academic Attire.
Over the three years of the course, Maurida fully immersed herself in college life. She was the chairperson of the Student Representative Council for the Malmesbury Campus. As an executive member, she sat on the Academic Board which deals with the core activity of the institution, the academic delivery.
She was also part of a group of five students and two lecturers from West Coast TVET College, who participated in a cultural exchange programme in 2015. The exchange formed part of the College’s partnership with Kirkeparken Upper Secondary School in Norway. Maurida proved to be a great brand ambassador.
So much so, that she was recently invited to attend the DHET Budget presentation in parliament.
Maurida is a DHET TVET bursary recipient and is showing how a bursary can change one’s life. She is currently completing an internship at West Coast TVET College in the Administration Department to solidify her NC(V) training.
We are confident that this is only the beginning and that we have not yet heard the last of Maurida’s achievements.
