Letter to Parents and Carers December 2011

An Oakwood student takes third prize in a sustainability awareness poster competition.  

Rotherham council are keen to raise public awareness of the issues facing our planet and the need for everyone to do their bit. Working inconjuction with the education department a poster competition was launched across Rotherham's schools to find a set of graphics that could be used on promotional leaflets and vehicles in Rotherham over the next two years. The award ceremony took place in the town hall and the prize winners received their prizes from the mayor.

Here Thomas can be seen collecting his prize which was a weather station to be used to measure the temparature, wind and rainfall on the Oakwood site for the next year. The design was a clever modification of the famous Lord Kitchener recruitment poster from World War 1.
