Fairtrade Fortnight

Year 10 pupils have been taking part in a range of events to mark Fairtrade Fortnight. This Cross-Curricular event has been promoted by the Home Economics and Geography department, enabling pupils to learn about Fairtrade world- wide. Pupils have had the opportunity to hold a Fairtrade assembly, make banana bread, have a feast to sample a range of Fairtrade products and compete to create the best Inter house bunting. These events are designed to increase awareness of the importance of Fairtrade for growers and encourage pupils to swap some of their shopping items for those produced through Fairtrade.
