Solutions for the Planet
Two teams were chosen by neutral judges to
represent our school at the 'Solutions for the Planet'
conference at the Royal Armouries
in Leeds. Pupils had to come up with a 'Big Idea' to change
the
community or planet. Our winning ideas were 'Let's Walk' and
'Buy
Local, Buy Fair'. Pupils listened to an inspirational speech
then,
with
the advice and help of experts, had to develop their
ideas. The
day concluded with a visit from two members of Parliament, Mr
Hilary Benn Minister for the Environment spent a good deal of time
with our groups.
'Let's Walk' was awarded a special prize; this was given by Leeds
Rhinos and included tickets to see Leeds Rhinos play Salford Reds!
Both Leeds Carnegie and Leeds Rhinos are already
keen to encourage 'Let's Walk'.
We are pleased to announce that both teams who were entered
in to
the competition at the Royal Armouries in Leeds have made it through to
the semi-finals at the University of York on Friday 15th May.
They will have to do a five minute presentation to a panel of judges
and all the other entrants and then have five minutes question
time.
If they succeed here they will go on the final at the Palace of
Westminster!
We are very proud of both
teams for getting so
far and wish them the best of luck.
