News posted: 06-05-2009
Emma Washington and Charlotte Goode have recently received prestigious Diana Anti-Bullying Awards. These were set up in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales, to recognise outstanding work by young people to help overcome bullying.
Former Head Girl, Emma, has been awarded the individual award for her work with the North West Anti-Bullying Alliance. Charolotte is also a member of the alliance, made up of pupils from across the region.
As part of their work as trained peer mentors, both Emma and Charlotte help younger pupils and support them with any problems they may have. They have also taken part in several schemes including planning and running a conference in Blackpool.
Emma is studying for A-levels in Maths, Chemistry, Physics and Geography and hopes to read geography at Durham University.
Having suffered from bullying, Charolotte is taking A-levels in Chemistry, Physics, Music and General Studies and is hoping to read Chemistry at Edinburgh University.
Alison O'Brien, North West regional adviser for the ABA, said: 'Emma and Charolotte have both done a lot of work in their schools and across the region. My whole group is just inspirational and Emma and Charlotte are very active.'
