Hazel Wins the SCP Excellence in Hospitality Award
Hazel Royall came to Edinburgh College in term 2019/20 as part of a Schools College Partnership (SCP) programme in Hospitality. SCP courses see pupils come to College campuses from regional schools twice per week to learn new skills.

If you could give one piece of advice to a student starting at the College now, what would it be?
Don’t overthink. Survey what’s happening around you, then go from there.

I’m not sure what my plans for the future are, however, I do plan on going into further studies after College.
What are you most proud of that you have achieved while studying at Edinburgh College?
Throughout my time at College, I think I’m most proud of the fact that even though I didn’t cook with food that contained gluten we found different ways to cook without it with different degrees of success.
