TALL SHIPS
COMPETITION - 2014
SCHOOL children in
Merseyside are being given the opportunity to join a voyage of a
lifetime. As part of an initiative run by the Wirral Safer Schools
Partnership and The Tall Ships Youth Trust, 2 teenagers are being
offered the chance to set sale on a tall ship.
Setting sale during October 2014 half term*, the young people will
be part of a team of forty Year Nine pupils from across Merseyside
who will board the Stavros S Nyarkos brig on a trip around the
English Coast.
Constable Colin Garland said:- "The aim of this initiative is
to develop self-reliance, team work and confidence. We have two
places for two pupils, a boy and girl, and we are asking people to
nominate their son, daughter, grandchild, niece, nephew, friend or
even themselves and tell us why they/you deserve one of the places
on this year's trip. This isn't a relaxing holiday though and
everyone on board will be expected to work. The young people work a
series of watches during their voyage and learn other sailing skills
in on-board lectures and practical activities."
Merseyside Police Commissioner Jane Kennedy said:- "I am
delighted to be able to offer one young person on Merseyside the
chance to take part in this once-in-a-lifetime trip. Merseyside has
a proud maritime history and this is a fantastic opportunity to get
a taste of life out on the seas. Alongside the physical challenge,
this trip will give the winning teenager the chance to learn new
skills, build their confidence and improve their ability to work as
part of a team."
The 2 additional spaces are being funded by the Office of Merseyside
Police and Crime Commissioner and The Tall Ships Youth Trust.
