Castle Bromwich Youth Parish Council Civic Service Niamh Strong with Cllr Mr Mark Hayes and Vice Chair Cllr Mrs Pauline Allen
Park Hall students have continued to take an active role in Castle Bromwich Youth Parish Council and we are delighted to announce the election of Councillor Ashleigh Doran, Councillor Emma Ellis, Councillor George Chance-Osman, Councillor Charlotte Jobson, Councillor Ellie Batterham and Councillor Bronte Turner as Castle Bromwich Youth Parish Councillors. The new Youth Councillors join long standing member of the Youth Councillor Niamh Strong who was also awarded the Award for Community Service in Castle Bromwich this year. During the year the Youth Council launched a DVD of their work at the Senior Clerks Practitioners Conference. Park Hall Media Studies Students worked closely with the Parish Council to make the promotional video. The aim of the video was to try and recruit more young people and to show exactly what a Youth Council can achieve.
We are delighted to report that six more Youth Councils have now been established as a result of our young people’s hard work and effort. Students also led the Remembrance Parade at Castle Bromwich Cenotaph which was an extremely valuable and moving experience. Well done to Park Hall Academy students and Castle Bromwich Youth Parish Council. Dr L Browne Assistant Headteacher (Community)
Young Enterprise This year’s Young Enterprise team, Timeless, are a group of six Year 10 students who have been researching and developing their products since September. Their primary products are clocks made out of vinyl records. The Christmas Trade Fair in Central Birmingham gave the team a fantastic experience, despite the cold and windy December weather. They had amazing feedback from the Young Enterprise judges who identified their products as having major potential. The students are eager and motivated to put these ideas into place ready for the next trade fair on the 5th March in Touchwood, Solihull, where they will be competing against schools from Birmingham and Solihull.
