Competition Celebrates Equality & Diversity

Finalists in a competition organised by Macclesfield College to promote equality and diversity recently attended a presentation to receive their prizes.

Students of all ages and abilities from the College, Macclesfield High School and Park Lane School participated in the competition by entering posters, postcards, poems, short stories or photographs which celebrated diversity and raised awareness of equality issues.

Cash prizes and certificates were presented to the 20 finalists by the College Principal, Wendy Wright, who told the students, "There were 88 entries in the competition this year, so you can feel really proud that your work was selected by the judges to be in the final. As always, the standard was extremely high and the judging panel were impressed with all the students' work, particularly the entries from Macclesfield High School."

The finalists were: Victoria Harrison, Jake Bewsher, Class 3 - Park Lane School, Laura Bushell, Aaron Remedios, Daniel McKenna , Charlotte Dale & Lisa Hunt & Grace Currie (joint entry), Jessica Gough, Lauren Goodier & Lauren Adams & Kirsty Lomax (joint entry), Sabrina Khan, Samie Oakes, Holistic Therapies Students (joint entry) and Rachel Linney.

The College is committed to ensuring everyone has the opportunity to develop to their full potential and this annual competition provides a fun and creative way for students from across the Learning Zone campus to think around this theme.

The work will be on display in the College's Learning Resource Centre throughout December and early January and members of the public are encouraged to come and take a look.
