Dynamic Dynamique

The Pipers Young Enterprise team are celebrating this week after amassing a fantastic five prizes at the High Wycombe Area Finals. The team came first in two of the categories - the Business Plan Award and the Marketing Award. They also came second in the Manufacturing Award and the Company Report Award and the team placed 2nd out of the 19 teams taking part meaning that they will now go into the next round and compete against teams from schools from across the county.

Judging for the area finals took place in February at a selling event at the Eden Centre in High Wycombe where the Pipers group faced strong competition in the form of teams from other local schools including, Wycombe Abbey School, Wycombe High School and John Hampden Grammar School. The team were also shortlisted for the Environment award and the Rotary Award at the event.

The Dynamique team, consisting of seven girls in Lower Sixth, Emila F, Georgina H, Elizabeth P, Gabriella S, Chloe W, Rebecca W and Charlotte W have developed a business making and selling material bags from up-cycled material, which can be used for make-up bags and pencil cases. The girls have been selling their bags at various different craft fairs in the area.

This latest success follows on from their performance in December when the team were winners of the local area Business Plan Competition. Being shortlisted for and ultimately winning awards is a great testament to the hard work the girls are doing in this year’s Young Enterprise Award.

Mrs Helen Hess-Gifford, Headmistress said “I am extremely proud of the Young Enterprise team this year. They have worked very hard selling their home made bags and have done remarkably well - they are the most successful team the school has entered in to the Young Enterprise Competition to date. Let’s hope the next round will be just as fruitful for them, they deserve it.”
