Year 10 girls from Burgess Hill School for Girls, Oakmeeds Community College and Oathall Community College were asked by a graphic designer to design a four page publication for Porsche. The task was part of the 'Working Together As One' careers event at Burgess Hill School on Thursday 23rd June.

The brief to create a publication on careers at Porsche was set by Nathan Stride, Managing Director of the Sussex based design company Stride Creative.

Nathan had set his team at Stride Create the same task the day before and he brought along to show to the students at the end of the day.

The challenge involved an 'Aptitude Test' to help the girls find out more about themselves, followed by short workshops on photography, press conferences, graphic design and observation.

The girls worked in teams with each student taking on a separate role. Andy Finnen from Park Cameras in Burgess Hill tutored the photographers and they were sent with the reporters to Porsche Centre Mid-Sussex in Burgess Hill. The reporters investigated careers at Porsche by speaking to Andy Crabb, Executive Principal for the Porsche Centre Mid-Sussex.

The Guest speaker was Mark Denton, a skipper in the BP Explorer yacht in the sailing Global Challenge in 2000/2001. Mark gave an inspirational talk about how the team overcame challenges to win third place in the international competition.

The students' printed designs were judged by Nathan Stride, Andy Finnen and Mark Denton and the winning team was presented with prizes donated by Park Cameras.

The event was the second careers focused event this year supported by the Porsche Centre Mid-Sussex and Park Cameras and this is the second year Burgess Hill School for Girls has worked with these businesses for their careers conferences.
