Chanice wins Jack Petchey Award!



Chanice Browne (age 13) won the Jack Petchey Award this term after great commitment to the project. She was voted in by her peers who said:

Great attendance, an understanding person, has loads of ideas, participated really well, used her voice well, good at using words and being descriptive, and took part in everything.

The award means she has £300 to spend on the project as she chooses. Previous winners were Bianca Dorsett and Ella Brown.

Here is Chanice at the premiere, and accepting her award!

PREMIERE A SUCCESS!


Over 45 people came to the premiere of 'Connect Cett4', our docu-drama on young people's relationships with the police.

It was great to see the young people introduce the film and some of them do speeches.

Hope everyone enjoyed it! Any comments, please add below!!!!

I will be uploading some of the speeches and comments from the young people over the next couple of weeks.

Cett4 in the news?



The film project is partly funded by the Youth Opportunity Fund, and last week a photographer came to capture images of young people's projects. This photo of the Cett4 film group has ended up on the Metro newspaper website at:

We have heard the group may also feature in the Metro paper itself so keep your eyes out...
