On Friday, November 23, SI Tenby's Programme Action Officer, Dr. Anne Kelly, accompanied by fellow club members Mary Fleming and Lindsay Oeppen, were delighted to present pupils in Class 4 at St. Teilo's School with prizes and certificates for their entries in the SI Wales South poster competition.
The competition forms part of an on-going regional project aimed at raising awareness of the dangers of alcohol abuse particularly amongst underage drinkers. It was particularly fitting to make the presentation at the start of Alcohol Awareness Week.
The varied and colourful posters all carried an important message for young people: 'Say No to Alcohol.' Every one of the participants received a certificate from SI Tenby, and three namely, Charlotte Tebbutt, Ben Wright and Henry Hunt, were also awarded gift vouchers as their posters were judged to have the most impact on teenagers. However, all 13 posters will now be entered into the second round, when they will be competing with schools from across SI Wales South. SI Tenby wish St. Teilo's every success in the next stage of the competition.
After the presentations, Dr. Kelly was able to give pupils a brief insight into the work of Soroptimist International and its mission to inspire action and transform lives. She was also delighted to present Mrs. Angela Nicholls with a donation to St. Teilo's School Fund in recognition of her support for the competition.
