MOTOR Vehicle student Michael Bray from Delabole has been rewarded for his hard work and determination recently after winning the award for the 'Most Improved Motor Vehicle Student 2012' at Cornwall College St Austell's Engineering and Motor Vehicle Awards Evening.

The 19-year-old received the award at the special prize-giving ceremony in the College's Keay Theatre because of his dedication to the course.

"I'm over the moon to have won this award as I've never won anything before and it's something that I never thought would happen," said Michael.

"It just goes to show that the harder you work, the more you're rewarded."

This year more than 200 students from areas such as St Austell, Bodmin, Truro, Falmouth, Delabole, Launceston, Newquay and Bude attended the event, with their parents and friends
