Final days of school captured on DVD


3.r6


A PUPIL of Oakhill College has record­ ed a DVD capturing special events that have taken place over the past 12 months. Outgoing head boy, Daniel Caton, of Salmes-


bury, has recorded a DVD featuring footage and pictures of memorable events at the school. These include Christmas plays, sporting


events, poetry competitions and other special events throughout the academic year. Trips to France and the Waterpark in the Lakes, visits to castles and outings to theatres in London are also some of the highlights recorded and the disc was played to fellow pupils during their last ever assembly. Daniel (16), who is currently sitting his


GCSE exams, said: “Leaving school is a momentous occasion. The DVD has been recorded to ensure those precious ‘school day’ memories don’t fade. “I have been at Oakhill College since I start­


ed in nursery so really just wanted some sort of memento to mark the end of an era.” Daniel, who will attend Clitheroe Royal


Grammar School sbcth-form centre in Septem­ ber to study A-levels in French, Spanish, eco­ nomics and maths, said he started filming when

PUPILS from a Kibble Valley school joined forces with their peers from a school in Hyndburn on a cre­ ative writing project. • A total fo 24 bright Year 8 pupils,


a dozen each from from St Augus­ tine's RC High School, in Billington, and the Hollins High School, in Accrington, worked together over two days on the joint Creative Writ­ ing Project. On the first day the pupils shared


a visit to Heptonstall, the Yorkshire moorland village where the famous


poet Sylvia Plath is buried. During their visit the pupils, who


were all armed with digital cameras, were given the task of capturing the ambience of this sometimes bleak and mysterious place. On the second day, based at St


Augustine's, the pupils were given workshops on creative writing, after which they produced their own pieces of prose and poetry. Our picture shows the pupils from


the two schools working together on the Creative Writing Project, (s)

with p e so F Jason Taylor Still on school duty


HELLO again and wel­ come to this week’s edi­ tion of Whalley Beat. I must kick-off this


week’s column by writing . about the gorgeous weath­ er. As always, I am out and about enjoying the glorious sunshine and clear skies continue to greet young Jason each and every day. I hate to harp on about the nice weather, but anyone who works out­ doors will agree with me that after months of miser­ able weather, it is great to see some sunshine. It is a pleasure to be walking around a picturesque vil­ lage like \%alley and what makes it so beautiful is the people that live there. A lot of credit needs to


getting copies for everyone who wants one!” A lasting commemoration of the pupils’ final


year in the form of a tree has been left at the school. The tree features cards and special mes­ sages left by the outgoing pupils. In addition, to celebrate the end of school


years. Year 11 pupils attended a leavers’ din­ ner at Stanley House Hotel in Blackburn.

like this over the weekend, I might call the gorgeous Emma Bunton and see if she fancies going out for a drink. I’m sure she will be up for it. • Rendezvous success Once again, another


belting night was had by all. Scores of fun-seeking teenagers flocked to Whal- ley’s busy Rendezvous night on Friday to enjoy the latest club night bash. All who attended were


impeccably behaved and did their parents, schools and themselves justice. Thanks to everyone who attended and special thanks to Steve, Martine and Johnny at the club for all their efforts in arrang­ ing these events and giving the young people of the Ribble Valley a great night to look forward to. • People urged to buckle up behind the wheel

Long haul for a good cause


TWO work colleagues braved bad weather and cycled to their Clitheroe office in aid of charity. Bob Hamnett and


Richard Atto, who work at Lancasliire Rural Futures, in Waterloo Road, ditched their cars for the day as part of National Bike to Work Week. A business adviser and


environmental adviser for the company, the pair cycled a distance of more than 50 miles in aid of the


Bolivia charity, which donates funds to the orphanage based there. Mr Hamnett, whose


daughter has been a volun­ teer at the orphanage foi the past two years, sale: they hoped to raise £1,00C for the cause. The 62-year-old, whe


arguably had the hardest ride, set off from his home in Silverdale at 5 a.m. tc reach the office by 9 a.m. and covered a distance ol 40 miles.

read in last week’s Clitheroe Advertiser and Times’ Whalley Edition about me conducting some high-visibility patrols out­ side Whalley Primary School to monitor traffic levels and the parking situ­ ation around the school. I was also quite con­


cerned about the number of people who drive away from school without put­ ting on their seat belts. This goes for both children and their parents and at the moment, the Lan­ cashire Road Safety Part­ nership is aiming to raise awareness of this impor­ tant issue. As part of my regular


duties, you will continue to see me carrying out the patrols. REMEMBER - Par­


ents must set a good exam­ ple by ensuring that they and other adults in the car wear a seat belt at all times. Children themselves also


have a big part to play when it comes to “In Car Safety”. Failure to wear seat


belts is a national cause for concern, so I hope from now on adults and children will belt up as soon as they get inside a vehicle. Like always, should you


need to contact us please leave your messages for Whalley’s Community Beat Manager, PC Geoff


- Pennal on 01200 458727 or myself on 01200 458772. Please remember these numbers are for non­ urgent matters. If you require immediate atten­ tion, ring 0845125 3345 or 999 in the case of an emer­ gency. Before I sign off, rev­


ellers attending the Glas­ tonbury Festival this weekend, make sure you have a fantastic time.

No rain on this parade!


PUPILS from a Ribble Val­ ley high school put their best feet forward for a good cause. All youngsters in Years 7,8


and 9 from Ribblesdale High School Technology College braved unsea^nal wet weath­ er conditions to complete a 16km walk round Clitheroe. Cash raised by their efforts


will go towards school funds. The annual eyent, which


has become a school tradi­ tion, is a major money-mak­ ing venture, with last year’s walk raising £4,700. Starting from school, the


route took pupils down Whal­ ley Road and, following the river, from one end of Clitheroe to the other, before heading back to their educa­ tional establishment. Pupils from Ribblesdale are


pictured setting off on their annual sponsored walk. (B170605/1)

Service for sport fans


A NEW service offering youngsters sports information via their mobile phones has been launched in the Ribble Valley. Ribble Valley Borough Council sports


development officer, Mr Peter Fletcher, has devised a scheme called Selecta Activities, whereby youngsters can receive information about sporting activities by text. Participants simply text the words


“Football,” “Sports” or “Selecta” and receive a text reply with information on activities and events. Peter has been out and about in Rib­


ble Valley distributing leaflets about the scheme and credit card-style cards list­

ing the Selecta number to youngsters. He said: “The service allows teenagers to text and tell us what they want in terms of sport or leisure. “We then try to arrange tournaments or sessions to suit their needs, or refer them to the council website. The service is totally secure and will allow us to be more responsive to the needs of local youngsters.” Dozens of youngsters have already


signed up to the scheme, which is funded by Ribble Valley Borough Council and the Ribble Valley Crime arid Disorder Prevention Partnership. The Selecta Activities number is
