MAY’S Jack Petchey Award was presented today, June 8, to Year 9 St Bonaventure’s student, Liam Duggan.
14-year-old Liam has amazing organisational skills and is instrumental in ensuring the Wednesday Anime Club runs as smooth as clockwork each week. The club has never been so popular with numbers increasing week on week and there are currently 35 boys who come to watch the Japanese cartoons.
Talented singer Liam took part in carol singing for dementia patients at Christmas at Shrewsbury Hospital in East Ham and also played a pivotal role in organising a school Spring Concert in the absence of a Head of Music this year. It turned out to be a beautiful event and will go down in school history as being one of the best concerts ever staged.
Headteacher Mr Halliwell presented Liam with his award today and commented: “I am really impressed at how Liam can manage to arrange huge events like he does. It takes real skill but somehow he pulls it off.”
Liam will now receive £250 to spend as part of his award.
