The West Berkshire Education Business Partnership asked me to present the awards for the best work experience log books of 2006. The WBEBP co-ordinate over 1500 placements every year for year 10 students from all of West Berkshire's secondary schools.
Each school was asked to select the three best log books kept by these students, and these were then judged by a panel, and the winner and runner up were announced at the presentation evening last night at the Vodafone pavilion.
A number of the finalists spoke to the audience of parents and employers, using powerpoint to illustrate their work experience. As ever I was impressed with their confidence and composure, - especially a student of Mary Hare who gave a very amusing account of her week working at childrens nursery. There were also short talks from a couple of employers, including Keith Butcher - the popular caretaker of Speenhamland School - who I teased for wearing a suit, when he usually wears shorts in all weather!
