said: “This area of the USA is renowned for its Performing Arts schools. I’m sine


ica - New York and New England - to carry out research and teach in four dif­ ferent schools. Her research will be linked to the role of Performing Arts in schools both within the curriculum and as an extra-curricular activity. . As Director of Specialism at Bowland,

MULTI-VITAMINS have been supplied

V'!,'Every year the local branch of the .;Friends of Chernobyl.Children (FOGG) provides family placements for children


- from the Mogilev and Gomel region of Belarus.


...


■ For a month the organisation meets the full costs of these visits, including


health checks and dental care. Last year past president of the branch


Mr Brian Cunliffe OBE happened to hear Olwyn Keogh MBE (founder of FOGG) speak at the Rotary Club of Padiham, about the remarkable work the


; charity is doing to support children in - Belarussia.


Said Mr Cunliffe: “The Chernobyl


, accident occurred in Ukraine over 22 years ago, but many people are unaware


that the consequences will linger on for a ‘ very long time.


■ ' ’ ■; , ; .“We had not appreciated that because


of the wind direction, 70 % of the fall-out > fell on Belarus and that the agricultural land there will be tainted for thousands of years.


■ “This means th a t children from the


poorest areas suffer a range of diseases due to eating food grown in contaminat­ ed ground.. ■ “Drugs and vitamins are virtually ,


non-existent in Belarus and many people, die through lack of proper treatment.” He added: “When members of the


Rotary Club of Rochdale learned that, the provision of simple multi-vitan^ could make such a difference, resolved that they would donate a years supply to 52 children;

Yalley school stages its own ‘Apprentice’


by Natalie Cox A VALLEY high school hired


its own apprentice. As part of Enterprise Educa­


tion a t Bowland High School, Year 10 pupils-were invited to work in teams to complete eight tasks and avoid being fired to become “The Apprentice”. • Each task covered a range of business skills - pupils had to negotiate prices for items with members of staff,'design uni­ forms for flight attendants, re­ market properties for sale, calcu­ late profit and loss and carry out a production task! After each task, the two weakest groups had to face the board and one group heard those famous words “You’re Fired”. - Taking the place of Sir. Alan


Sugar for the day was local entre­ preneur John Lancaster, pictured right, who questioned each group further before making his deci­ sion.


- He was also supported by the..


school’s own “Nick and Mar­ garet”'- Peter Grange, a local , banking consultant and school governor, and Mrs Allison Hill, maths'teacher and Keystage 4 manager. The two teams which reached.


the final were grilled by the board in front of fellow pupils and staff before, Mr Lancaster made his final decision. The aptly named “Branson’s


Technology” came out as the winners and for their prize they will.enjoy a trip to the BBC> News Studios in Manchester to watch the news being filmed and ■ tour the studios. . Miss Emma Wilkinson, enter­ prise co-ordinator, said: “This


. day allowed all Year 10 pupils to develop their entrepreneurial skills. One task required pupils to develop three hew uses for an


■ everyday item. The ideas pupils generated were astounding. One group decided a balloon could be used for “Boil in the Bag” meals
