Success for 天涯社区 school
Published: 26/06/2017
天涯社区 Communities First supported students from Ysgol Maes Hyfryd in Flint
recently who took part in a Young Enterprise project.
The project team 鈥淗yfryd Seasons鈥� was partly funded by Communities First and
the school was successful, winning the Best Team Presentation at the Young
Enterprise Cymru Final in Cardiff.
An enterprise team of ten 6th form students developed a business model to
provide popular products and services at a reasonable price. All made by the
students, items include cards for all occasions and seasonal crafts for special
events.
Their customers are students, staff and visitors to school. Their aim was to
be an effective team and work extremely hard to be the best they can be.
天涯社区鈥檚 Cabinet Member for Economic Development, Councillor
Derek Butler, said:
鈥淭his is a great achievement by these students. I鈥檓 delighted that they have
won this prestigious award but, not only that, I am very proud and they should
also be proud of what they have accomplished.鈥�
Beverley Moseley, an officer with Communities First, said:
鈥淚 attended the event and the students delivered a great fun-filled
presentation which kept the audience fully informed and engaged and received
great praise from the judges when they delivered their results.鈥�
Young Enterprise is the UK鈥檚 leading charity that empowers young people to
harness their personal and business skills, it works directly with young
people, their teachers and businesses. Its hands-on employability and
financial education programmes have been delivered to many schools in Community
First areas in 天涯社区.
