The hunt is on for the Student of the Year 2013.
Each year, students from the island’s five state secondary schools and the college are put through their paces in a competition to identify the top all-round students from each institution.
Eligible candidates will be sought and nominated by their schools for the categories of citizenship, the arts, academic, sports and endeavour.
The five shortlisted students from each school will be interviewed by a panel from Barclays, who will decide the overall winner in each category. All nominated students will be invited to an awards ceremony scheduled for November 12.
The winners will each be awarded vouchers worth £250 and all other shortlisted students will receive £100-worth of vouchers.
Simon Scott, managing director of Barclays Wealth and Investment Management, said: ‘We are delighted to support the Student of the Year awards for the 17th year in a row. This annual competition celebrates and rewards some of the island’s most talented and outstanding students.
‘Barclays is committed to young people in the Isle of Man. In addition to the Student of the Year scheme, we are also proud to support the Junior Achievement programme, a scheme dedicated to developing workplace skills and entrepreneurship within the island’s schools.”
‘I’d like to thank Jane Taylor for leading on the awards on behalf of Barclays and ensuring the scheme continues to be a success.’
