In celebration of National Apprenticeship week, NLTG’s annual Interschool competition returned for the 4th time with the theme of Star Wars. Students from local high schools battled for the title of winners of the competition which was held 4th – 6th February 2020.
The competition required each team to split into three pairs, each of which took part in a different creative challenge. One pair created a themed feast including a ‘Lightsaber’ cake, another pair created an innovative cake stand using pre-cut materials and the third pair were challenged with writing and marketing a new Star Wars short story.
The Winners of the competition were Mount Carmel RC High School who showcased their creative talents and teamworking skills. They received a school trophy and framed photo collage for the school, with each student receiving a JBL Flip 5 portable speaker.
Headteacher Mr Bowers commented "This is a great annual Design Technology based competition, organised by NLTG for local secondary schools in the area. I was delighted to find out that Mount Carmel were the winners in 2020. It was also lovely to find out how pupils worked in pairs and collectively together on this year's 'Star Wars' theme. They showed great creativity, initiative and teamwork, and were excellent representatives for our school. I would also like to thank all the staff at North Lancs Training Group for once again organising and hosting such a fantastic competition. It was particularly nice to see that Alisha Clarkson (a former pupil of Mount Carmel) was one of the members of staff involved. We look forward to sending a team to take part next year to try and retain our trophy!"
Thanks to NLTG for organising this exciting and challenging event and and to Alisha Clarkson for coming in to present their award and prizes.
