Students' volunteer work celebrated at college awards ceremony
Sixth form students who volunteer in their college and the wider community have been recognised for their selfless efforts at the third annual ‘A Time to Shine’ volunteering awards. The Mayor of Darlington, Anne-Marie Curry, Conservative MP Peter
Gibson, and Darlington Football Club official Dave Watson were among the local dignitaries presenting awards recently at a special ceremony organised by Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College. The evening event, held in QE’s historic Main Hall, on Vane Terrace,
Darlington, celebrated the work of the college’s many young volunteers, and nine awards were presented to individuals and groups of students whose contributions have had a significant impact on others. Year 12 student Nicole Seal, who was named ‘QE Volunteer of the Year’
for her outstanding level of commitment to multiple causes, said: “I’m so honoured to have been awarded volunteer of the year. For me, volunteering is a great way to give back and help people who may be in a less fortunate position. It’s so rewarding to see the positive impacts we’ve made both in college and the local community. I look forward to more projects soon.”
Volunteering and
community work are important aspects of college life at QE, which has its own student-led, extracurricular volunteer group, Interact Club. Members meet weekly to support local, national and international projects. Over the last 12 months, they have raised money for Ukraine, donated
700 meals to local food banks, funded 200 polio vaccinations in Afghanistan, sent more than 21,000 letters to people living in isolation, supported Darlington Memorial Hospital, arranged litter picks, sponsored two Ugandan schoolgirls, funded training for six midwives in Emergency Aid, and donated clothing, shoes and gifts to local charities and refuges.

Coventry children are city's first to have break time transformed into outdoor adventure
Children at a Coventry primary school have become the city’s first to try out an award- winning initiative which transforms playtime into an outdoor adventure designed to promote children’s health and wellbeing. Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School has
unveiled its Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL) play areas to its 420 students following eight months of staff training and volunteer support from the community, with children keen to pull on their wellies and explore. The new facilities have been made
available to increase the variety of activities available during playtime and lunchtime and have a positive impact on the physical and mental wellbeing of children. Sacred Heart, which is part of the Romero Catholic Academy, was the first
school in Coventry to sign up to the initiative, and is one of only a handful so far across the West Midlands to put the scheme into action.

www.education-today.co.uk The new play areas – which include a water area; mud kitchen complete
with pots, pans and aprons; a construction zone; sandpit; quiet spaces; and a woodland trail – were created thanks to support from staff and parents who volunteered their time, and local businesses which provided additional labour and materials. Twelve of the school’s play enablers and teachers were enrolled on OPAL’s
mentoring programme, where since September they have received in-depth training on risk/benefit evaluation and how to facilitate and develop play literacy, ahead of overseeing play across the new facilities. Sophie Newman at Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School said: “It’s
incredible to see the instant impact that our OPAL facilities have had on playtime, with children exploring with their friends and making new ones in the process, and letting their imaginations run wild in what is a crucial part of the school day. “As the project continues, we’ll be continually developing our play offer, so
if any individuals or businesses would like to support the project in any way, we’d be delighted to hear from them.”
