A huge congratulations to our amazing Carmel students who recently attended the El Camino awards ceremony after taking part in a very special writing competition. 

As part of the challenge, students were asked to write a letter imagining the life and journey of a pilgrim walking the El Camino over 500 years ago. This creative task brought together history, faith and storytelling in a truly inspiring way, and our students rose to the occasion with fantastic imagination and thoughtfulness.

The awards event itself was a wonderful occasion, and our students represented Carmel brilliantly throughout the day. We were incredibly proud of their enthusiasm, creativity and maturity—they were exceptional ambassadors for the college. 

Winners were awarded an incredible £100 voucher
Runners-up received certificates in recognition of their outstanding work

This was a fantastic achievement and a special opportunity to celebrate creativity, history and pilgrimage together. Well done to everyone involved—you should all be very proud!
