O&W Young Citizen Award

11th December 2009

The Wigston Extended Schools Cluster recently nominated a number of young people for the Oadby & Wigston Young Citizen of the Year Award.

The awards are for young people 14yrs – 20yrs who have done something for the public good within the Borough; something social, environmental, of family benefit or an aspect of their character which sets a high example to others.

Congratulation go to Jack Vardy, a pupil at Guthlaxton College, who was runner up in the competition.  Jack was nominated for his contribution to the clusters Student Council Conference and his input into a range of student voice initiatives within the College.  Jack is a credit to himself, the school and young people within the borough – in short a great role model.

Jack won £50 and a years membership at Parklands Leisure Centre, which he was presented with at the council chamber on December 8th 2009.
