Accomplishments

    Accomplishment: Duke of Edinburgh (Silver Award)

    Date achieved: May 2013

    As part of my Duke of Edinburgh silver award, I completed over 20 hours of volunteering at the Wetlands Centre. For Year 10 work experience, from 13th – 18th May 2013, I worked at the East End Body Shop. My job was office assistant, providing services at the shop including answering phone calls, writing important information down and emailing attachments to clients. This was done six hours a day. The programme ended with a expedition trip in the Lake district. Along with others that signed up, I was taught basic camp survivalist tactics, walking for days across the landscape with our individual rug sacks, back packs and tools for cutlery, cooking, tents and appropriate outdoor kits, equipment and clothing. It was a successful trip, full of geographical and outdoor activity experience.

    Accomplishment: Biddick Academy Attendance Award programme

    Date achieved: July 2010

    I was awarded the platinum merit certificate by Biddick Academy

    In Year 10, my art work was put on display at an art exhibition in the Washington Arts Centre.
