Fair Trade Competition

Three First year pupils beat off other competitors to sweep up first and second (joint prizes) in the local 2010 Devizes Fair Trade Competition. As a Geography prep, students produced a piece of work relating to Fair Trade which was then entered in the competition.

The students let their creative side shine through. Ceri created a cartoon strip which portrayed issues facing Fair Trade characters, Josie illustrated a poem setting out the benefits that Fair Trade brings to communities - both were named as joint runners up winning £5 each. Grace produced a magazine on Fair Trade full of facts, figures, viewpoints all packaged up in a fun and interesting way and was awarded first prize of £10.

Peter Tolhurst (organiser of the competition) visited Dauntsey's on Friday 12^th to reveal the winners and hand out prizes. The Geography Department does hope that if prize money is spent on sweets that they will be Fair Trade ones!
