A pupil from Crickhowell High School has won herself an ipad after her design for a partnership logo was chosen as the winning entry.
Rebecca Rees’ design for the Positive Pathways Group was chosen by a panel of judges to be the organisations’ logo. Her prize will be presented to her at the group’s Powys Careers Festival at Llanelwedd on Wednesday 8 March.
Adam Wilson of Llanidloes High School took second place in the competition and Isabel Brosington took third place. Adam and Isabel will be presented with certificates to mark their achievements.
The judging panel was made up of Careers Wales and Powys County Council officers.
Cllr Arwel Jones, Powys County Council’s Cabinet Member for Schools, praised the efforts of the dozens of young people who entered the competition.
“The standard of the competition entries shows that there is a lot of design talent amongst our pupils. I’m delighted with the winning entry and I hope that Rebecca enjoys her prize,” said Cllr Jones.
The Positive Pathways Group is made up of all Powys High Schools, Powys County Council, Careers Wales, the NPTC Group of Colleges, Cambrian Training and the Powys Association of Voluntary Organisations. The group has been set up to ensure that all young people in the county are informed of the opportunities available to them after they finish compulsory education.
To do this, the group will work together to provide opportunities to improve pupils knowledge of the post 16 options available so that they can make informed decisions about their lives.
The group’s first project is the Powys Careers Festival which will offer Year 10 and 12 students from Powys schools and Powys-based students at the NPTC Group of Colleges a chance to see some 100 exhibitors.
The exhibitors represent employers from the fields of engineering, sport, hospitality tourism and leisure, hair and beauty, agriculture and forestry, healthcare, the emergency services, armed forces and utilities, the media and performing arts, retail, business, finance and law, construction, IT and technologies as well Powys high schools and a number of Universities from Wales and England.
