PEN Commercial College has once again stamped its authority in the academic sector after being reappointed for the prestigious High Excellence Office Awards, walking away with two awards at a ceremony held at Rainbow Towers last Saturday.
The college won the Best Academic Excellence Award and the Best Red Carpet Entrance Award, a double triumph that underscored both its academic strength and strong institutional brand.
Organisers cited the college’s unwavering commitment to quality education, consistent performance and contribution to the academic sector as key reasons for its recognition. The awards reaffirm Pen Commercial College’s dedication to holistic education and its continued pursuit of excellence.
The institution’s focus on creating a conducive learning environment that promotes academic growth, innovation and professional development has seen it produce graduates who are academically competent and equipped with critical life and workplace skills.
Pen Commercial College’s emphasis on critical thinking, creativity, global awareness and moral development aligns with the values and criteria of the High Excellence Office Awards, according to organisers.
Speaking after the awards, Pen Commercial College director Portia Hwami expressed gratitude to students, lecturers and stakeholders for their continued support.
“We are thrilled to receive these prestigious awards, which are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our students, staff and parents. We remain committed to providing quality education and fostering a culture of excellence,” Hwami said.
She said the college would continue to build on its successes and make a positive impact on the education sector and the wider community.
Meanwhile, High Excellence Office Society marketing manager Edgar Sundai said the awards reflect schools’ commitment to continuous improvement and excellence.
“These awards show parents which schools are thriving, giving them confidence and assurance of quality education,” Sundai said.
He urged other institutions to focus on progress rather than size or resources.
“We are not judging size or expense, but growth. Be your own competition. If you had one block this year, aim for more next year. Show improvement in results, innovation and overall performance,” he said.
