Hymers Young Enterprise success with ‘A Novel Idea’!

Congratulation to our Year 12 students, Jessica, Olivia, Amelia, Kate, Jessica and Vanessa for their success in the recent Young Enterprise competition rounds in Yorkshire.

The team came up with the enterprise idea of ‘A Novel Idea’. They collected second-hand books from donations and repackaged these both individually and in bundles. Benefactors then bought these bundles which they could either donate to local primary schools to help boost their libraries or the team individually wrapped books to be bought as gifts.

The team then sent information back to the donors and benefactors of how their books had been used and distributed in schools. Each book has a synopsis created for it to help children select books they like, and all books were quality controlled.

The team was awarded first place in the North East Yorkshire, Hull and Humberside round of the Young Enterprise competition, progressing to the regional round in York.

In this round they were awarded the Creativity Award and Best Presentation award!

A huge congratulations to the team and we hope all the children and schools who have received the books are enjoying reading.
