Ms Lenzi, Headteacher at FCJ School, said:
“The children have once again loved participating in this exciting competition. They were inspired by the concept to use their creative skills to design a form of transport for the future, so many wonderful ideas! We are extremely grateful to Resolution IT for not only offering our children this opportunity, but also to be named as the overall winning school for a second year!”
Dane Bryans said:
“Firstly, a big thank you to all the children who submitted entries. The team and I thoroughly enjoyed going through each and every one, which took some time because of the sheer number we received. The effort and creativity on display was amazing, making it incredibly difficult to choose our final winners, who deserve massive congratulations! This event also wouldn’t have been possible without our extremely generous sponsors, PlainSail and Entrust.”
He added:
“A further thank you to FCJ School, who kindly hosted our prize-giving ceremony and were once again very worthy winners of the £500 prize for the most entries.
On a final note, I am so proud that we have been able to support the Priaulx Premature Baby Foundation who do such great work.”
Sophie Campbell, Head of Client Strategy at PlainSail, said:
“It is a privilege to be able to sponsor such an inclusive and creative competition. The number of entries submitted across the islands was truly impressive, and it’s wonderful to see Jersey following Guernsey’s strong lead in participation.
We are also delighted that our sponsorship has not only secured great prizes for the winners but also supported PPBF in providing an Xbox and TV for families to use in Frankie’s Hideaway, and LEGO wall art for Matthew’s Hideaway.”
Sophie continued:
“We look forward to continuing our support in the years to come and extend our thanks to Resolution IT and all the other sponsors for helping make this initiative a success for PPBF.”
