Cardinal Wiseman school came out top at the Rotary Youth Speaks competiton with their topic: L'armour. What's Love Got to do with it?

Its chairwoman, Katherine Tyler, was also judged best chairperson overall at the public speaking competition held at St Benedicts School in Ealing last week.
The competition, organised by Rotary for many years, tests the public speaking skills of youngsters, in teams of three, from schools in the Rotary West area.

STAFF, pupils and parents made a united effort to celebrate their school - by making the most of their differences.

More than 120 students and 28 staff laid on a cultural evening last Thursday (11) to help mark their school's golden anniversary.

Brave teachers let pupils hack at their hair in a bid to raise cash for the victims of the Haiti earthquake.

Pupils were praised for their inspiration and imagination in a writing competition judged by the Ealing Gazette's community reporter.

Reporter Jane Harrison, who judged the pupils at Ravenor Primary School in Greenway Gardens, Greenford today (8) said: "This was quite a challenge as there were so many good entries. I was very impressed by the imagination, description and inspired story-telling as well as by some very colourful drawings." She presented the book token prizes to the winners of each year.

A team of students and staff are manning a special hotline to help potential students find a place at university.
