The biggest reception of the day was saved for student speaker, Ms Caroline Goodman (34) – who escaped from an abusive relationship in Manchester to come north with her now 17-year-old daughter.
After her first speech, she told the Northern Scot: “That was the scariest thing I’ve ever done in my life.
“Last year, I couldn’t even do group talks in front of the class. When I came here I was totally broken but this place has pushed me on.”
Ms Goodman achieved level six in health and social care.
