Fair Trade

Aim

The Pathfinder Fair Trade Project was set up in the last academic year in order to help agricultural producers in Developing Countries through enterprising means. The project proved to be a huge success and was therefore continued this academic year with new participants involved.

Whilst last year, Science students implemented the project with help from Head of Science, Warren Bannister, this year, a group of 7 Year 10 Design and Technology students undertook the Project with Brian Compton as the Project leader/supervisor.

Since the participants were highly skilled in Design and Construction, they decided to design and build a kiosk from which they would sell Fair Trade products in school.

The pathfinder funding allowed the participants to purchase all the materials required to build the kiosk.

The year 10 students involved in this project were:

Abu Bakar Siddiqui
Salman Uddin
Loktuj Zaman
Parbez Ahmed
Alim Uddin
Ataur Rahman
Sabirul Islam
