Careers events had lots to BRAG about
by Julie Magee
A COLLABORATIVE careers conven tion for Bowland High, Ribblesdale, St Augustine’s and Clitheroe Royal Gram mar School, the first of its kind in the
area, was a resounding success. The event, opened by Ribble Valley Mayor
Coun. Simon Hore, was well attended by cur rent Year 11 pupils from all four schools. More than 30 colleges, sixth forms, training
providers, uniformed services, universities, employers and advisory services attended to provide pupils with information and guidance on subject choices, entry requirements and student life.
“I am sure that the BRAG event (Bowland,
Ribblesdale, Augustine’s and Grammar) will have broadened a few horizons, made peo ple think more seriously about options they had not fully considered before or helped to confirm the existing thoughts of others,” said John Tarbox, deputy headteacher of Bowland High School. “Whatever the case, those who were there had a fantastic opportunity to com pare the range of offers in our area and are in a better position to make informed choices for next year.”

byFaizaAfcaal
A TEENAGER, who suffers from cystic fibrosis has had her dearest wish to go on safari in Africa granted by the Starlight
Children’s Foundation. Fourteen-year-old Ellie Wilkin
son, from Bolton-By-Bowland, who dreams of becoming a vet when she is older, has always been fascinated by Africa and so she asked Starlight to go on safari with her family for her wish. In order to arrange Ellie’s dream
trip, Starlight contacted the Ant Collection, which has two private bush homes located on its own pri vate game reserve in the malaria- free Waterberg region of the Lim popo province in South Africa. The owners of the family reserve,
Ant and Tessa Baber, immediately offered to help the charity and opened its doors for a once-in-a- lifetime safari holiday for Ellie and her parents, Paul and Rachel, and brother, Matthew. The family were able to ride each
day, seeing the wild animals in the natural environment, and during the stay Ellie was even able to go
out with the vet and the safari team to treat an injured buffalo. Her dad said: “We all had an
amazing'experience on Ellie’s wish trip. Ant’s Nest was the perfect choice of safari experience. I don’t know how Starlight found it, but it was absolutely superb. “Ellie was in her element, riding
every day and getting astonishingly close to the wild animals. Thank you so much Starlight!” Ellie’s mum, Rachel, added, “I
want to say a big thank you to Star light and the Ant’s Collection, who helped to make Ellie’s wish happen.
Ellie loved every moment and she is now more determined than ever to study to be a vet and work out there.”
