SMB College Group Beauty Student, Olivia Ison, places third in the world at the Allstar World Championship in Orlando, Florida!
The Allstar World Championship is a large end-of-season cheerleading competition for mini, youth, junior, senior, and international teams, competing with the best of the best.
Olivia took part with her team, Premier Stars, a co-ed level 5 team. They trained for several months to compete in the Championships, allowing them to be successful in the semi-finals, progress into the finals and ultimately, place third in the world!
Claire Stocker, Beauty Lecturer at SMB College Group, said “This competition was a great opportunity and achievement for Olivia, she has competed in several competitions both in cheerleading and in Beauty Therapy, with the latter being what she studies here with us at SMB College Group. In addition to securing a bronze medal in cheerleading, she also came within the Top 10 in ‘World Skills’ last academic year, where she represented SMB College Group Beauty Therapy.
“Taking part in competitions grows confidence, this is 100% the case with Olivia. She is a confident young lady that has secured a post-college job at Ragdale Hall and runs her own business. We are all very proud of Olivia and her achievements. Olivia is now back in college and working hard to complete her Beauty Therapy course (despite being a bit jet lagged!)”
Beauty Therapy is taught at SMB College Group’s Brooksby and Stephenson Campuses with industry-standard salon facilities and equipment. Students get to work in real salon environments with real-life clients and challenges, as well as having the opportunity to enter competitions, work with partners like Ragdale Hall Spa, and go on trips to learn more about the growing industry.
