SPECIALISM OF SUCCESS THE TIME 2 CHANGE COMPETITION The final round of The Time 2 Change Competition 2015 was celebrated in The Romero Centre at All Hallows in March with 7 local primary schools sending their own winning teams to compete for The Overall Winner 2015, Runner Up 2015 and Best Folder 2015. The challenge set was to create and design a 'Super Hero' for a named foreign country that was fit for purpose in being able to promote Fairtrade products, taking into account terrain, climate etc. Teams had to purchase resources and materials using the appropriate foreign language, design a logo for The Super Hero incorporating The FAIRTRADE sign and create a super hero 'catch phrase' to help promote fair trade. Judges Danny Towns from Chrome Motors and Jess Sharpley and Sophie Lewis both from Peaks and Plains Housing Trust had a difficult job choosing a winner as the standard was so high across all the schools that took part. In the end, after presentations from each team and some tough questioning, The 'Overall Winner Award' for 2015 went to Hollinhey, with St Paul's coming in as 'Runners Up' and The 'Best Team Folder Award' went to St. Gregory's. The Awards were presented by Hannah Bristow (Y12), World Champion Sailor, who this year was joined by her sisters Izzy Bristow (Y10) and Maddy Bristow (Y7) who have also found success in World Champion Sailing. As an added bonus, the competition, which started back in September 2014, raised over £1,000 for more than 15 different charities.

PRAYER IN MEMORIAM OF ARCHBISHOP OSCAR ROMERO WHO WAS KILLED ON MARCH 24 1980 Lord, we bring before you all who are imprisoned unjustly and all who are tortured. We think of those people who live in fear of injustice and repression. We pray that the minds of those who abuse others may be turned to what is good and honourable. May those of us who live in freedom not take our heritage for granted, but be of good influence in leading others to value one another as brothers and sisters. Amen.

ECO FACTS
In the past 50 years, humans have consumed more resources than in all previous history. Americans wasted a total of 7.1 million tons of cans, enough to manufacture 316,000 Boeing 737 airplanes in 2012. Every ton of paper that is recycled saves 17 trees . The amount of wood and paper we throw away is enough to heat 50 million homes for 20 years. Earth is 2/3 water - but all the fresh water streams only represent one hundredth of one percent.
