Students win time capsule competition

Year 7 and 8 were given the opportunity by local company Etex to enter a competition to create pieces of art that depict one of two themes: “Life in 2022” or “Buildings of the Future”. They could include items such as drawings, paintings, collages, poetry, short stories, photography, a letter to your future self.

Six lucky winners were chosen and on 31st March went to attend the new Etex site for the break ground event to bury their art work and writing in a time capsule. The winners were: Maisie Hasell, Joshua Healy-Hart, Isobel Healy-Hart, Shay Melias, Cerys Voisey and Maxine Nash. The prize winners also received a £50 Waterstones voucher. Etex were so impressed that they want the students to come back in five years time and dig it up to see what has changed in the world. - Well done to everybody who entered!
