Creative Arts Student of the Year - Penelope George
Penelope’s enthusiasm for music and drama has been exceptional and she has displayed a very focused work ethic, achieving the best grades possible. She has been a choral scholar with Swansea Philharmonic Choir and is also a dedicated member of the National Youth Choir of Wales.
She is an experienced soloist and has benefited hugely from her association with LARS (Loud Applause Rising Stars) which provides several performance platforms for emerging talent throughout South Wales.
It is no surprise that she received an unconditional offer from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama (RWCMD) on a full scholarship.
Former student returns to inspire young creatives
A familiar face recently returned to Gower College Swansea’s Gorseinon Campus as former student Billie-Jo Matthews stepped in to help inspire the next generation of young creatives.
Billie-Jo completed a Level 3 Extended BTEC in Creative Media at Gower College Swansea before progressing to Swansea University to pursue a BA (Hons) in Media and Communications, followed by a MSc in Strategic Marketing.
She has also worked within the creative marketing and social media sectors, both with large tech companies and as a freelancer.
Throughout that time, Billie-Jo stayed in touch with her lecturers and when Curriculum Leader for Creative Media, Jarrod Waldie, mentioned some freelancing opportunities at the College, Billie-Jo was delighted to get involved.
