On
Thursday 10th March the Lord Mayor of Manchester, Councillor Paul
Murphy OBE, paid a visit to the Year 7 and Year 8 ReachOut Academy at Our
Lady’s RC High School in Higher Blackley, Manchester.
During
his visit, the Lord Mayor got to see our mentees using their staying power and
self-control to make mini parachutes: an activity designed to test
team-working skills. The Lord Mayor chipped in with some sage advice for the
groups (he was an aerospace engineer once upon a time don’t you know?)
and chatted to the mentees about their time with ReachOut.
Before
he left for the day, he had to answer some tough questions from our mentees.
What is it like being the Lord Mayor? What does the Lord Mayor do each day? And is
that chain made of
real gold? His final words of advice for the group were that the key to success
is perseverance, determination and the desire to succeed.
We
would like to take this opportunity to thank the Lord Mayor of Manchester,
Councillor Paul Murphy OBE, for taking the time to visit our project and to
chat with our mentees and mentors.
