Community Cohesion Conference at Campus

Thursday 9th July 09

"Community Cohesion through International and Global dimensions" was the very apt topic of the Conference at Campus.

Guests and speakers came from across England, from the British Council, to officers from Gloucester Council, Thurrock Council, MP, Councillors (including me) etc all attended to celebrate with Chris Tomlinson (the Head Teacher), Staff and Students of the School for their 6th Place position as the best School in England.

There were speeches, rapping, translations, exhibitions and food. It went a long way to put Chafford Hundred Campus, and indeed Thurrock on the Map. Some of the guests at my table were from Harlow in Essex, while others were from much further north.

Welldone to Junerose Palmer (teacher and conference organiser) for a wonderfully organised conference.

This is another first from Chafford Hundred Campus, a good example which British Council and the Education Authorities are keen should be taken up in Thurrock. Rightly so.
