on awards evening last thursday (13th september 2007) chris henwood was awarded this prestigious prize. here’s the transcript of mrs holt’s speech;

Len Stirzaker worked in WHS for many years as a Science teacher. He was a much valued colleague and friend. He was such a kind, professional gentleman, who loved Science and worked hard to encourage our young people to share his love of Science.
Chris Henwood has always shown a very positive attitude towards his studies in Science. Despite his hearing disability, he always endeavours to make valuable contributions to Science lessons.
In fact, he is always willing to go one step beyond what is expected, often returning at lunchtime and after school in an effort to improve further.
At one time he got involved in Mr Warren’s Science Club, where he was involved in a variety of fun and innovative activities. This activity was to try and draw him out of his shell. It worked, as he participated in a huge range of projects, some of which were more successful than others. These included crystal gardens, cross-linked polymer balls made from custard, pin-hole cameras made from film canisters and he made some bath bombs for his mum!
He was therefore the ideal candidate to be a member of the KS3 Soap-a-Sonic team - 10 enterprising young people running a company from the bottom up. The name, the logo, the manufacturing process, Chris was involved in everything and all done with his infectious enthusiasm.
The Science department were unanimous in putting his name forward for the Len Stirzaker prize as this is exactly the kind of progress that our friend Len would have been so pleased to see rewarded with a prize.

well done Chris.
