Dart Harbour has announced the winners of its Young Champion Awards 2012. The Upper Primary winner was the Year 5 Class from Brixham Primary School, and the winner of the Secondary award was 12 year-old Dartmouth Academy student Cameron Webb. Brixham were victorious thanks to their project about the Dart which took in all areas of the curriculum and saw children writing poetry, making musical instruments, learning Spanish, cooking Tudor biscuits and choreographing their own dances, amongst many other activities. Thanks to the generosity of Greenway Ferries and the Dartmouth Steam Railway and Riverboat Company, the school began their project by taking advantage of the offer of free boat trips by Dart Harbour in the autumn. The project was described
“We’d like to thank the DARC Commit- tee and in particular the Chairman for being so welcoming to the Academy and providing their facilities free of charge.” Dartmouth Amateur Rowing Club chairman Steven Hawke said: “We are delighted to be in partnership with the academy and offer the opportunity for students and teachers to utilise our facili- ties and take full advantage of the mag- nificent river. We look forward to a successful and continued partnership into the future.”
