Yound Hero




Claudette Said has just been awarded a Young Person of the Year award by Brentwood Borough. The award is given to young people who set an inspiring example to the rest of the community.

Claudette who attends the Friday class at the Brentwood School Sports Centre received the award for tackling bullying in her school. Claudette decided to take action after she had been bullied herself as a younger pupil. Claudette, who attends St. Martin's School in Brentwood, took a course in counselling and organised an anti-bullying assembly for lower school pupils. Her efforts have helped those being bullied at the school by offering them support. Claudette said that she intends to carry on her work in dealing with the problem of bullying.

Paul Natzyl said that he can't think of a nicer person to receive the award. Claudette is always cheerful and pleasant in class. She deserves the acknowledgment she has been given for her kindness and concern for others.
