On Wednesday 6 April, Year 12 students will be running a fashion show which is part of their evaluation process for their Textiles AS Level coursework. The students organise this event themselves and it is a great opportunity to celebrate the success of their work within the Department.

FIRST FINALISTS SELECTED FOR TECHNOLOGY COLLEGE DESIGN COMPETITION FOR TEENAGE CANCER TRUST HAT
4myhead.com, a South Bucks-based online shop for hats and scarves is pleased to announce the first finalists from the Beaconsfield High School (BHS) hat competition in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust.
During the academic year, BHS students are working on hat designs for teenagers who are being treated for cancer. In 1995, BHS became one of the first schools in the country to be designated a Technology Specialist College. Through this competition, students in Year 7 are learning about Textiles Technology, enabling them to make informed choices for designing their hats.
Jo Ashcroft, founder of 4myhead.com, said: “As soon as I saw BHS was designing hats as part of the Technology curriculum, I was keen to be involved. Working with BHS, we selected Teenage Cancer Trust as the charity we would like to support. The talented students at BHS are helping 4myhead.com develop a hat for the countless brave teens who battle cancer.”
The first three groups of students completed their hats in February and representatives from Teenage Cancer Trust and BHS selected a finalist from each group. In March, Katie A, Katie M and Molly S were awarded runner-up in their groups and Martha S, Meg T and Meghan S were selected as finalists and their hats will now advance to the year end competition in July.
Helen, judging on behalf of Teenage Cancer Trust, commented: “It was difficult to choose with the girls showing originality in their designs and the high quality of sewing. I was impressed with the accessories and the effort made embellishing the hats with buttons, beads and ribbon.”
The final hat that is produced will be in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust, which funds and builds specialist state-of-the-art units for young people with cancer in NHS hospitals across the UK. Mike Stone, Regional Fundraising Executive (Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire) for Teenage Cancer Trust, noted: “In the past 20 years Teenage Cancer Trust has built 17 units and plans to build a further 16 so that all young people needing hospital treatment for cancer across the UK have access to the dedicated, specialist support we provide. Teenage Cancer Trust does not receive any government funding, so we rely on donations. Partnering with 4myhead.com and BHS is a great way to raise both funds and awareness about teenage and young adult cancer.”
“The students have been enthusiastic and interested in this project. The designs are varied with inspiration coming from magazines, favourite bags and scarves, and even one kitchen!” added Ashcroft.
BHS also presented Mike of Teenage Cancer Trust with a cheque for £951.30 from their ‘Bandana day’ whereby the students were encouraged to wear a bandana to support this cause.
The hats will now, for the first time, be shown at the BHS Fashion Show on Wednesday 6th April 2011 6.30pm. Every year the talented students and staff from the textiles department at Beaconsfield High School organise a fashion show to showcase the wonderful work produced by the students from various years. For tickets to the Fashion show, please contact the BHS school office on phone number: 01494 673043 or information@beaconsfieldhigh.bucks.sch.uk
