A few months ago we organised a postcard design competition. Young people from Atherton Primary Schools were asked to design a postcard that could be used to remind neighbours of the school to look after the school during the holiday time.
The members of the Atherton Super Council, were concerned that quite often their schools gets vandalised during the summer when the children were on their holidays. The young people decided to ask people to "look after the schools" by reporting incidents.
The competition ran and young people put in their entries. We ended up with three finalist - and today we arranged for those young people to visit Wigan Town Hall... They had a tour of the Town Hall ...they then met the Mayor of Wigan and she told them who were the runners up and who was the winner of our competition. The young people really seemed to enjoy the morning - they all got a gift voucher and the winner got a framed copy of the winning design.
This afternoon I delivered the postcards to all the schools in Atherton. Most of the schools were over the moon and thought the idea was fantastic.
Well done to all who entered and particularly to the winners.
