Graduation celebrations for couple who met on same course at Fife College

It's Valentines Day and Fife College is helping spread the love.

It's celebrating a couple, who met while studying the same course and graduated together at a recent ceremony.

Kaiya Gardiner and Robbie Simpson celebrated completing their HND in acting and performance.

They met during their college orientation at the start of the course.

Kaiya, from Kirkcaldy, said: "Graduation means a lot, I get to close this chapter and hopefully open more doors to new things."

Now their studies are over they have big plans for the future, which include moving in together and pursuing acting opportunities.

Kaiya added: "We are currently moving house so that's fun but then hopefully it's finding some acting jobs."

Robbie, from Perth, said: "The course is very hands-on, which was much different to school. School was, here's a textbook, go learn it yourself. Whereas this was like they were physically showing us what we were doing, and it was great.

"Initially, I was hesitant and considered it beyond my comfort zone. In the beginning, I didn't really want to do it. However, I decided to take action, realizing that sitting idly wasn't the answer.

"Engaging in the activity pushed me out of my comfort zone, but it was a worthwhile experience. Once you take that step, it becomes much more enjoyable and fulfilling."

Their story is being highlighted as part of the #LoveScotlandsColleges campaign, which started on Monday and showcases the role they play and work they do
